I think was my 20th annual eye exam visit. Dr Holmes is always personable, has read my chart and knows what he is watching, He explains his findings clearly and concisely. His referral for cataracts was to an outstanding opthamologist. He is an excellent clinician in my long experience. If only Primary Care were so uncomplicated! read more

Avoid at all costs. I spent $800 on a pair of glasses and the lens repeatedly popped out. The last time this happened, I went to the Sandwich location in person and was told the doctor would call me. He never did. I went back. I was told her would call me. He never has called me. Outrageous. read more

I have been getting my eye exams and glasses at Sea Breeze Optical for many years. Dr. Holmes is a very pleasant and efficient. The glasses that I have gotten are good quality and when I have had any issues with the fit of the glasses, if I am persistent, the issue gets resolved to my satisfaction. The location in Merchant Square is great, parking is available and the hours fit my busy schedule. read more

My developmentally disabled friend and I came in with a broken frame Friday. Without his glasses Steve is completely blind. He had an event the same day, a wrestling extravaganza, that he waits all year to see. Without his glasses he doesn't go. It would have been a lot of disappointment. We walked in without an appointment or notice. Mr Kellie put down whatever else it was he was doing and spent at least a quarter of an hour fixing what looked to be a difficult fix. He made some recommendations on any future frame purchases and then refused to take any payment. Thank you for your good deed read more

Went to sea breeze optical hoping they could help me with my eye glasses. I bought my own frames, which was apparently not appreciated, and was up sold to every conceivable option. I spent $570.00 for progressive lens (remember I bought my own frames!). The lenses are terrible. I cannot wear them but for a few minutes at a time. I cannot believe I spent this sum of money/ total waste of my hard earned dollars. Too bad there is NO follow up call from them to their customers to see if they are happy with their glasses - busy local shop, quite a few disturbing reviews. Small town business, but word travels fast. Sorry, cannot recommend, quite the opposite. read more

I wanted to stay with my existing brand of contacts. This was apparently a big issue here as: 1. I asked the doctor to write the prescription for Purevision Multifocal as these are what I've been wearing for the last few years. 2. Assuming the doctor complied with my request, I was disappointed when I got home and realized that he had written the prescription for Air Optix Multifocal. 3. I asked for a new prescription for Purevision. He refused saying I would need to come in to be fitted for Purevision and that he would bring a sample from Buzzards Bay to the Sandwich shop. 4, When I went in to get those lenses I was told they weren't there and I was given a set of contacts with no fitting. These did not fit either. They said they changed the prescription and I could order my lenses. My contact lens company then calls me and tells me that Seabreeze's prescription is wrong. Not sure what the connection is between Dr. Holmes and Air Optix or why I couldn't be fitted for my own brand but I am a former patient and will not recommend Seabreeze Optical to others. read more

Stay far away from these guys. I've been waiting 3 months for my glasses. The doctor messed up the prescription and would not re-check my eyes. They refused to refund my money so I went to another doctor and got the correct prescription (Lens Crafters) I got the correct glasses from LC the same day and they even replaced my sunglass lenses that were made up with the bad prescription for free! Now SB is making new glasses on the LC prescription. Never again!!! read more

I been going here since I first needed glasses. Years of the owner constantly making sexual comments toward me asking if I was "rolling around in bed with my boyfriends" because I just wanted my glasses adjusted. No longer will do business with them. Unprofessional and sickening! The owner also had the nerve to ask my Father if my sisters were available. I seriously hopes he retires soon and gets with the 21 century! read more

I had a great experience in ordering new lenses with Patricia. Because my eyes have been changing every year, I did not want to spend a lot of money for the new prescription. Patricia understood all my concerns, addressed each one and gave me good prices as well. When the lenses come in, they will replace in two hours! read more

I had such a great experience here. I came in with glasses that had a popped lens and they immediately fixed it no questions asked. And the best part, they refused the money I offered after the fix was done. Really recommend this place. Their glasses are one of a kind too. New England hospitality. read more

Very kind and understanding with my father in law with Alzheimer's. Doctor was patient took time with him to make sure he got correct prescriptions for his glasses read more

I have been coming to See Breeze for years and would not consider going elsewhere. Ron is the best, always doing whatever it takes to take care of the customer. Regardless of the challenges, I know Ron will make it happen. That "can do" attitude and approach is priceless! I count on his acerbic wit, with a slight and welcome touch of sarcasm to bring a smile every time I interact with him. Thank you Ron!! read more

Love Dr. Holmes and his staff. They are all friendly and on top of it.

I've been going to Sea Breeze Optical for over 10 yrs now. Dr. Holmes is great, patient, and will take the time to ensure your prescription is accurate, your lenses or glasses are comfortable and makes working through insurance a breeze. Dr. Holmes is committed to providing the latest in contac lens technology and had introduced me to lenses that were even more comfortable and breathable (believe it or not) than the ones I had been using for years. Flexible hours and two locations - I would definitely check out Sea Breeze. read more

Terrible - Go someplace else. - Their Buzzards Bay office - About wasted $ 900.00 !!!! I am 52 and have been wearing glasses since I was 12. I have a condition with right eye for stignatism, so that lens is always a bit thicker than the other and has a different curve to it. I started going here almost two years now switching from a place in RI. First time visit required eye exam for new pair of prescription sun glasses. Optomoligist is only there a few times a week, so had wait almost a month to get in due to our conflicting schudules. I asked if they could just make a script from the glasses I was wearing since they were just 1 yr old and perfect. They said no. No way to process a script in that manner. Odd since other places can do that.... Got in for the exam middle of Jan 2012. Exam area was not clean, and lenses I had to look through were dusty and had smudges on them, including the machine which blows air into the eye ball to test. I developed PINK EYE 3 days later from this exam !!! Thanks for not being clean guys. Some two weeks later sunglasses arrived. Prescription was off, and unsuitable for driving. After two times I had to ask if the script took into account that I had astignatism in one eye. They asked to see my other glasses, and took them to the lab across the hall and put them into the machine that they said they didnt have....hmmmm. Came back and said lens would be ready in two weeks. Two weeks later got them back, now its almost March.....really. Takes that long... ?? Gal was at counter when I picked them up. ( Secretary ? ) So she says, look outside and let me know if they are ok ? Really ? Is there an eye chart I cant see across the street ?!?!?! So what ever happened to sitting down with the doc and going over the eye chart with new glasses to ensure they are correct ?!?!?!?! Anyways, I get into my car, drive a few blocks away use my mirror and see that they are VERY crooked on my face....so now I have to turn around and drive back for adjustment....jeeesh. Anyways, almost a year goes by, and for some stupid reason I go back. Probably since they were always polite, but I shouldnt have. I have another set of glasses done, and about had to go through the same issues.....including the lens on right eye not being correct. Being right eye dominent this is a problem when driving/seeing road signs. I compared the right lens with the one I had done in RI, and the arc to the lens was not EVEN CLOSE. The secretary used a depth measurement device to measer the arch depth and found it to be way off. She tried to say that the lenes "warp a bit over time " WhAT !!!! Eye glasses were two years old, and still like new....basically if you cant tell the truth better to keep your mouth shut and say nothing. Another week goes by, glasses are back. They are still a bit fuzzy in right lens and still not the same ( thinner - same material too) as the previous prescription. I make special trip there and told that they would get back to me by phone. It has been FIVE DAYS AND STILL NO PHONE CALL..... In short folks you would be better off and healthier getting your eye glasses off the internet than going here. Stay clear of these charlatons !!!! read more

Ron and Sean are affable, competent Opticians. I have not had the pleasure of an eye exam with Dr Holmes, as yet, but, 2 more years. I did buy 2 pair of glasses. However, the sunglasses frame I chose was a bit weak for my lenses. They have ordered a new frame for me at their expense. I get them today. I can speak no ill of the Company at this time. read more

I have been a customer for 24 years as has my son who has been a client for more than 10. Any requested fixes or adjustments - of which there have been very few - have been done quickly, cordially and free. It's great having Dr. Holmes review my chart and explain the subtle changes in my eyes over the years. My son now drives 30 miles each way to maintain his relationship with this excellent optical shop. As you can see by the rating, we recommend See Breeze highly as a locally owned and staffed resource. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Sea Breeze. Very friendly and expert service from both Ronald and Rich. With the flexibility to put lenses in frames that we supplied. We enjoyed Ronald's sense of humor and loved Rich's dog Logan. Great job on the new lenses as well. Definitely recommend this spot. read more

I have been using Sea Breeze Optical for a few years now. The service is always great. This year I needed something specific. They listened to my needs and got what I needed done. I'm very happy with them. read more

I did not have a good experience with Sea Breeze and I should have written this review a year and half ago. However, the recent very satisfying experience with a Mashee Optical company reminded me how frustrated I was with Sea Breeze. I had purchased two pair of tri focals - one with transitions and ones without - I had asked if the glasses would have a tint when there was no sun and they assured me they would be clear- that was not the case- they had a permenant tint even when not in the sun. The second pair came back with the wrong perscription in one lense and it took over a month to get the glasses back with the right perscription. They were all smiles the 1st and 2nd time I came but the 3rd and 4th time when I had to come back to have them fixed, there were no smiles. Hopefully you do not run into similar issues . read more

I have been going here for over 2 years and the service keeps getting worse. They are consistently unorganized. My daughter's order for glasses was lost and they had no clue as to where it was causing her to wait and struggle seeing the blackboard for 12 weeks. They misinformed me of my benefits and were condescending, cutting off my sentences, when I tried to resolve the matter. When I asked for my prescription (to go elsewhere) I was refused. All around, it has been an awful experience. read more
