I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Raymond Umeda and his team. Although the office is smaller, it has a great selection of name-brand frames and feels welcoming and comfortable. I was unfortunately running late after getting lost that morning, but the front desk staff were incredibly kind, patient, and accommodating. They made the check-in process smooth and stress-free. Dr. Umeda was thorough, attentive, and genuinely caring. Unlike past eye exams where I felt rushed into a general prescription, he took the time to understand my daily needs and occupation. Since I spend long hours drafting in AutoCAD, working at a computer, and reading, he carefully tailored my prescription to support screen time and reading rather than overprescribing for distance vision that I didn't truly need. I appreciated how detailed and observant he was throughout the exam, which gave me peace of mind. Afterward, the staff also helped me choose frames that suited my face shape and style, and recommended lenses to reduce glare and blue light from computer screens. Overall, the appointment was efficient, thorough, and never felt rushed. Everyone was friendly, patient, and took the time to answer my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Umeda if you're looking for thoughtful, personalized eye care. read more

My experience at Dr. Umeda's office was nothing but stellar. I went for a regular eye check up and to get new glasses. The staff were very friendly and explained everything clearly. Dr. Umeda was professional, highly knowledgeable, and had great bedside manner. After my appointment, the process to pick glasses was very clear she straight forward. My VSP premiere insurance benefits were clearly explained and the cost of my glasses were given. There was no pressure to pick a certain type of glasses or extra add ons. I highly recommended this office for all your eye needs! read more

First time seeing Dr. Umeda. He was very patient, explained everything and adjusted my glasses to 20/20 for the first time in 3 years.

Is it weird to look forward to you annual eye exam? Well Dr. Umeda's office will make you feel the same. Staff is super friendly and complete your exam quickly and comprehensively. Dr. Umeda is very friendly, easy to talk to, knowledgeable about your eye health and explains your results in an easily understandable way. Booking an appointment is easy. You can book online even as a new patient and fill out your health forms through their website. They're open until 7 pm on some days so you don't have to cut into your regular work schedule if you don't want to. I don't order my glasses from the office just because I primarily wear contacts. I do order my contacts through their office and the price with insurance is reasonable. It takes the headache out of finding the cheapest deal online and then having to wait for your contacts to ship. They usually give me a rebate form for my acuvue contacts to save some $$. Very COVID safe. They have you call the front desk before walking into the office for your appointment and to pick up contacts or glasses. Masks required and Dr. Umeda will wear a face shield if he has to get close to your face during your exam. Bonus that Dr. Umeda is an active member in the San Jose community who volunteers his time with local public schools. Highly recommend Dr. Umeda's office for your next eye exam. read more

Dr. Umeda is a wonderful doctor for my yearly eye exam. He explains things very well. His office staff members are very kind and knowledgeable as well. read more

I am grateful for the amount of time Dr. Umeda spent with me explaining everything and answering my questions. I am impressed with the breadth of his knowledge and care. read more

Called this place to try to make an appointment. No one picked up and the voicemail was very generic, did not even say the business name. So I was driving by and I figured I would stop by to see if I could make an appointment in person. They have a harsh sign on the door stating that people cannot enter unless they have an appointment. How is someone supposed to make an appointment if no one picks up their phone? read more

Raymond Umeda, OD - Optometrists Near Me - Campbell, California

Dr.Umeda is an awesome Doctor. He was extremely kind and helpful throughout the appointment. The staff was also very friendly and easy to talk to. They are carefully following Covid health guidelines. It was my first time here and I had a wonderful time, I highly recommend Dr.Umeda and his team! read more

Guys! Please go to Dr Umeda's if you can! I recently moved to WA from Campbell and continue led to use them for contacts until I could find a doctor up here. I wish they could be here!! I scheduled an appointment with a new place but can't be seen until early February and I called them to see if they could mail me contacts because the new place wouldn't even give me a sample pair until my visit.. well! They were so accommodating! Even though my contact prescription had just expired she agreed to send me 1 box for each eye to hold me over until my appointment here. We have a trip next week and I didn't want to be wearing my glasses in all the pictures! I missthem! I'm so bummed they aren't here! read more

Using modern technology Dr. Umeda is able to perform noninvasive scans. Service is quick, easy and very friendly. Easy to schedule an appointment and convenience and appointment ease is a high priority for me. read more

My vision issues are a bit atypical and as I got older I was struggling with contact lenses. Dr Umeda is very skilled and took the extra effort and time to fully understand the situation and he has helped me maintain good vision for many years. I can not recommend him highly enough. He is one of the most skilled optometrists that I have seen. read more

I've been going to Dr Umeda for about 20 years now and unless I leave the bay area, I will continue to come here. Super reliable, extremely spot on with my prescription eyeglass lenses and contact lenses. Their glasses selection is amazing and they always have the newest contact lenses that will fit my prescription & astigmatism. read more

I came in for my first visit the other day and I cannot speak more highly of Dr. Umeda and his staff. I felt right at home as soon as I entered the office. They do a very thorough job and always put the patient first. The frames there are a bit on the expensive side (most of the ones I looked at ranged from $250 to $350). This is a lot, even if you have great insurance that covers a good portion of that. However, they have a large selection of frames and some of the top brands! Also, please note that the contact fitting exam costs $60 (could be more depending on your insurance). Overall, I'm happy to have found an optometrist like Dr. Umeda and I'm looking forward to future visits! read more

I saw three different ODs for a couple of years but the prescribed glasses didn't work well somehow. The main problem was that my eyes got fatigue due to flaring and other issues. Dr. Umeda solved the problems and I wish I could have met him earlier. Dr. Umeda even called me and asked me to see an ophthalmologist a few days after I left his office because he found something in the images taken in his office. Yes I did go to my ophthalmologist and the problem is very minor and should not be worried yet . Highly recommend . read more

I've been seeing Dr. Umeda for over 30 years and think he's a great doctor. He keeps up with the latest technology, his staff are friendly and professional, and I'm always able to find eyeglass frames I like. read more

Dr. U: Read aloud the letters in the first line, please. Me: A T G Z E S Dr. U: Third line down please. Me: B K O P H Dr. U: Fifth line, please. Me: T Z L A J Dr. U: You certainly seem confident of what you read. Me: Uh oh! What are you telling me Dr. U? I thought my vision is 20/20. Well, my vision isn't 20/20 and thanks to Dr. U., I now have reading glasses! Dr. Umeda's staff is friendly. You don't wait too long to see him and he has a fairly big selection of frames to choose from. Also, if you don't see exactly what you want, they'll order it for you. So why only four stars? Well, Dr. Umeda isn't exactly warm and fuzzy. Brisk and efficient is more like it. Go see him if you want no nonsense service with minimal wait time. read more

I hate getting my pupils dilated. You basically give up half the day while your eyes say "WTF?!" and calm the hell down. Not at Dr Umeda's office! They've leased this thing that you look into. It has the red ring of death, but it is not going to kill you. Basicaly, it flashes a bright green light, with which it then takes a picture of your eye. Much better than dilation! In fact, they will even email you the files, and you can post it to Facebook or whatever the hell it is you want to do with them. In addition, they can do it next time and compare to see if you're any closer to the dreaded glaucoma. The decor has some neat Buster Posey and Tim Lincecum paraphernalia, so if you are a Giants fan, support your kind. read more

First off, the office staff does a great job getting your pre-exam eye tests done. One of the tests takes an image of the inside of your eyes. It is definitely worth having done and Dr. Umeda does an amazing job teaching you about your eye and goes through the images with you. Dr. Umeda does a very thorough exam and takes the time to go through all your options if you require correction. I've been visiting eye doctors for over 30 years, and I trust Dr. Umeda for my family's eye care needs. read more

I've been coming to Dr. Umeda for many years. Probably not as regularly as I should, but that's mostly because I refuse to admit I'm getting old and need new glasses. It's certainly not his fault that I'm pig-headed. As everyone else says, his staff is very friendly and very professional. His exams are REALLY thorough and you really feel like he's really taking his time to make sure you understand everything he's doing and seeing regarding your eyes and vision. They get bonus points for no longer doing those awful drops to dilate your pupils that make it impossible to work the rest of the day. :) read more

I have been going to see Dr. Ray for about 5 years and think that he provides great service. His office is very large and always clean. He also always seems to have the most update tools and equipment. When you go see him, you get his full attention. Not like at some of those big Lenscrafters types of places where techs seem to do most of the work, Dr. Ray does all the work himself. read more

I just had my annual eye exam from Dr. Umeda and was so happy that my vision has actually improved a bit. Last year, Dr. Umeda gave me a monovision lense fitting since I have reached the stage of needing bifocals. Now, it seems my eyesight isn't deteriorating as much and I don't have to wear readers! You always feel as though you are getting a very thorough and professional eye exam here. They have the latest technology to evaluate the retina which can detect many diseases. Seems like a very good idea, especially as you get older. The staff here is also very helpful in figuring out how to use your insurance benefits most effectively. If you wear contacts and glasses, this is a plus since it can be very confusing. Plus they are very good about having you try sample contacts until you find ones that are comfortable for you. Other family members also see Dr. Umeda regularly. Highly recommended if you are looking for quality eyecare. read more

I have been going here for a few years. I chose this location because of the excellent rating on Yelp. And they certainly lived up to that rating! Dr. Umeda, Lisa and Colleen are all excellent at what they do. Efficient, friendly, punctual and they explain everything very well. Highly recommended!!! read more

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Umeda for years. Even though we moved a little further away and could easily find another Optometrist, we wouldn't think if it. From the friendly staff to the thorough examinations, it can't get any better. The office also has great hours so that working folks can get appointments that work for them. They even get me samples when I forget to order contacts on time. :-) read more

And the doctor was very knowledgeable, able to explain things, was personable and very very nice. The nurse was amazing too, she said that I pass the one test and I should buy a lottery ticket. Well, the good news was, I passed! But, didn't win the lottery. My glasses came within a week and a half, they were knowledgeable, personable and I will definitely be keeping doctor Umeda as my optometrist read more

This was the first time I have been to the eye doctor and I was a bit nervous. The idea of needing glasses takes enough getting used to but facing this with a doctor makes it worse. Dr. Umeda and his staff made the experience painless and made me feel good about needing glasses. The exam was quick but very thorough. They used a bunch of different exam methods but Dr. Umeda still took time to make sure that the prescription was right. A large waiting room with a wide selection of frames to choose from. Once ordered, my glasses arrived to their office almost a week early. The overall experience was fantastic and made getting glasses so much easier to digest. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great eye doctor. read more

I would highly recommend Dr Umeda's office to anyone looking for an excellent optometrist in the area. Dr Umeda is kind, thorough, and informative. His staff was able to accommodate me for a same-day appointment when I was having a concern with my eye, and I couldn't have been happier with the care I received. read more

All possible safety precautions were taken during my recent eye exam. I felt safe and confident that Dr Umeda and his staff were protecting me from cross contamination from other patients. Thank you read more

Been a customer of Dr Umeda for a long time. I've tried a few other eye doctors here and there, but he's definitely the best one in my area and I've stopped bothering to shop around. He is courteous and very knowledgeable, is open on Saturdays, and his staff is outstanding. They'll try to fix your glasses if you bust them and are very friendly. The office is well appointed, clean, and organized. If I remember, a while ago it was in Westgate but now it's on Hamilton Ave, a bit isolated but not as crowded either. Additionally, the doc and his staff aren't pushy. If you don't want a feature, they won't try to badger you into getting it. They have good, objective opinion on frames and don't try to always sell you the most expensive ones. read more

Dr. Umeda must be a capricorn... or else he's from a place where "workaholic" isn't a bad thing (think mid-western states). I agree with the FTR, he's not warm and fuzzy, but he knows his shtuff. I came to Dr. Umeda to try contacts again. he was very patient with me as i tried some three trial lenses, took a pair home for a week, and made my decision. because i have an astigmatism that is normally reserved for aliens from another dimension, my contacts must always be special ordered. he was very kind and imparted all of his knowledge of astigmatisms upon me... oh, and when my contacts tore a week before my prescription was due to arrive, he was kind enough to pass out a pair of the newest fancy trial-wears. (again, trial wear lenses SPECIAL ordered. from the alien eye factory). can i give more than five stars for the fabulous office hours he has... 9 - 8 almost every weekday and even saturday hours! read more

Great office staff, great doctor, and state-of-the-art diagnostics. Dr. Umeda was very thorough and took the time to answer all of my questions and explain everything he was doing in great detail. He also uses an Optomap device to look at your retina, etc. instead of dilating the eyes. I prefer this method as it doesn't kill your vision for the hours after the exam. The office staff was very helpful and spent a bunch of extra time with me, helping me select frames. read more

Dr. Umeda is great. He's very uptight about my vision and I mean that in the best possible way. I want the man in charge of my eyeballs to be on the careful side. He's also very professional, and runs a nice office. I made a mistake and took my eyeballs to a clinic closer to home. Big error. It turns out that other optometrists aren't cut from the Dr. Umeda mold. I highly recommend him. read more

I have been visiting Dr. Umeda for my eyecare needs for many years. His office has modern testing equipment that helps evaluate retina and macula health which are a specific concern for me. Also, I have sensitive eyes and do not find most contact lenses comfortable. Dr Umeda has worked with me over the years to identify the best contact lenses for me. read more

Excellent service, eye exam technology and knowledge. I have been with them for many years. I have moved away from Campbell but prefer people I know and trust with my eyes. read more

Dr. Umeda really took his time to find the perfect prescription for me; his eye exam had equipments that I have not see in other office before. I felt the eye exam was extremely through and it puts me at ease knowing my eyes are healthy even though I am very near sighted. Will definitely stick with Dr. Umeda's office for my family as long as we live in Campbell :) read more

Great. The office staff and Dr. Umeda are professional, courteous, and we couldn't be happier.

Initial appointment with Dr. Umeda today. He was incredibly thorough and explained everything very clearly. I had a number of questions about trying contacts and he took the time to discuss the pros and cons. His office staff were also excellent and explained all charges ahead of time. No unexpected surprises at check out. I like that you can make appointments online and they have late office hours. read more

Dr. Umeda is AWESOME! My husband and I agree on that! I can see with new contacts that help me with my reading and I don't depend on reading glasses anymore (still need them for tiny type). Looking forward to my new glasses prescription. Dr. Umeda's staff is very welcoming and knowledgable. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Umeda's for several years and must say, Sharon is such a sweetheart. She and the other staff (Elaine and Coleen) are the reason I keep coming back to this office. Dr. Umeda, as well as the ladies, really care about their patients eyes. I would highly recommend this office. It's always a pleasure. read more

Today was my first day going to the eye dr in years! I was a bit nervous, but the assistant was so nice I was at ease. Between her and Dr. Umeda they were so knowledgable and laid back it was comforting. Dr. Umeda was so nice and gave me all the information I needed leaving me with as little questions as possible. I never I thought I would say this because I am excited to go to my next appointment! read more

Dr Umeda and his staff are excellent. They are very thorough in their exam. I thought I had the best eye doctor in my previous city. Dr Umeda far exceeded my expectations. Excellent! read more
