    Gucci eyeglasses
    Melissa O.

    I decided to get some new frames after a couple of years. I'm very picky about the kind of frames for my face shape and looked everywhere for a frame that caught my eye. I finally checked out Runway Optometry and found the PERFECT frames. I love them so much and get compliments daily. I wear contacts as well but since getting these frames I wear glasses more. Everything went smoothly with my insurance and I was able to get my Gucci frames at a very good price. Andrea helped me out and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about how my insurance works. Runway Optometry has such a great selection of eyeglasses and sunglasses. If you come here you will certainly find the frames of your dreams. I will be returning to Runway again for my next pair!

    Great selection!

    During the Pandemic I have felt very skeptical about going to a doctors office. This being my first appointment out I must say Runway Optometry did an amazing job making me feel safe and comfortable. The staff is super friendly and really took their time to go out of their way. Andrea and Jessica did a great job checking my health benefits and Mike helped me choose a pair of glasses that I absolutely love! Dr. Ueda was lovely if your looking for a thorough exam she is your best bet! I will be back for my next eye exam for sure!

    I'm obsessed with this shop! Andrea and Angie are the best. This post is super past due, I've been visiting this shop for quite a few years now. I recently moved to SF but I always still come back to this shop when I'm down in LA for the weekend. Last weekend I came down and I purchased some great optical glasses and my partner bought some sunglasses. I realized I needed to stop being lazy and make this review happen. I have yet to find any place with a better selection, let alone better service. I'm super indecisive and they know exactly what I need. They always listen to what I want and know what would look good on me. Also I'm never rushed when I'm there, they always let me try out all my options like 50 times (lol even though we all know which one I'm going to go with). Honestly they make it a lot of fun. And that selection! They have so many great brands that a lot of other shops that accept VSP don't carry. I love that I can use my VSP insurance on designer brands at Runway. If there is something you want and they don't have they are super cool about ordering it for you. Here are some of the brands I know they have (but not limited to)... Mykita Dior Chanel Dolce Givenchy Dolce & Gabbana Fendi Saint Laurent Jacques Marie Mage Maui Jum Bottega Persol Tom Ford Rayband Mui Mui

    I highly recommend Andrea who works behind the counter there. She helped fit me into a beautiful pair of handcrafted Mykita German frame eyeglasses. They were pretty expensive I've never spent $1200 on glasses before but I have no buyers remorse I love them! She also helped me find a great pair of Oakley sunglasses. Again expensive but worth the price! Andrea is amazing! She has such positive energy and she is so professional and she was so helpful! I definitely will be using her in the future for all of my retail eye glass needs. And I would encourage you to seek her out for assistance she has great taste and she has incredible integrity. Whereas the two other retail shops told me there would be a two week wait to get eyeglasses and frames (because of Covid supply issues) she had them done in 72 hours! also Special mentioned to Mike who is also on the team. Obviously I love that he's from Boston since I'm a native New Englander but in addition to that he has great high-powered energy and enthusiasm and brings a great vibe to the business! PS -I LOVE my new shades!

    I recently went to this optical place for an eye exam without insurance, and they told me I needed…read moreglasses, so I trusted their judgment and spent $600 on a pair. After waiting three long weeks for them to arrive, everything looked blurry and wrong the moment I put them on. When I returned to the store hoping for a refund, they flatly refused--no returns, no money back. Instead, they suggested I pay out of pocket for another exam as a "second opinion," with the vague promise they might help afterward. Frustrated but determined, I did exactly that with a different doctor, who confirmed I don't need any prescription at all. I sent them the new report as proof, expecting a full refund, but they still wouldn't budge. Their only concession was to let me turn the unnecessary glasses into sunglasses for a credit. With no other options left, I reluctantly took them up on that offer--only for it to drag on another three weeks with the glasses still not returned to me. It's obvious their initial exam was inaccurate, their staff refused to take responsibility, and corporate clearly doesn't care enough to make it right. I won't be going back, and I'd strongly advise anyone else to steer clear unless you're okay with the very real risk of being misled, overcharged, and left with no resolution.

    The staff is always super friendly and helpful. Drs are wonderful!…read more They validate parking also. (:

I walked in with a particular frame in mind, which they didn't have in stock, but started to show me other frames that were comparable in style and look. Ended up finding a frame that was fit my face. The purchase process was smooth, as I still needed to get new prescription (they recommended an optometrist they work closely with) and the whole process took about 2.5-3 weeks (getting my eyes checked took longest). Would definitely recommend to friends, and also go back when I'm feeling the itch for new frames.

They have a good selection to browse through. They'll help to recommend what would be good based on your face shape and eyes. And they'll offer similar styles, etc. They're also really quick and knowledgeable. She pulled a bunch of different options for me to try. And they'll keep the glasses pristine. They'll even offer to clean your own glasses. Once you have your purchase, they'll help adjust the nose bridge and/or the ear area to help fit on your face better. This store is definitely on the more expensive side but you're paying for the quality and service.
