We drove about 40-45 minutes to visit Solace Optometry in Murrieta, and it was absolutely worth the trip. My husband originally found them on Yelp, and while the near five-star reviews caught our attention, what really sold us was their designer frame selection. They did not disappoint. The doctor had an amazing bedside manner. She was gentle, professional, and genuinely kind, which made the whole experience comfortable from start to finish. The office itself was spotless and beautifully styled. I especially loved the framed macramé Ojo behind the reception area. Such a unique touch. Both techs were fantastic. My husband and I honestly had a blast with them. Super friendly, easygoing, and they made the entire process feel fun instead of clinical. We also recently moved, and the techs here took the time to explain materials and add-ons in a way that actually made sense. In over 20 years of wearing glasses, no other place has ever broken it down for us like that. When I mentioned how much I loved their frame selection, they shared that their manager personally curates all the brands. You can tell, because the selection is . I ended up with stunning Gucci frames, and my husband picked out matte black Spy glasses that are nerdy in the best way but still totally manly. Perfect upgrade for him. And when my husband saw the price tag on my Gucci frames... let's just say one of the techs came to my rescue Great people, great energy, beautiful selection. We will definitely be back. read more

Finding the right optometrist can be stressful, so when I decided to use the Yelp platform to search for one, I felt confident I was making the right choice by doing some research first. Solace Optometry was AMAZING! Dr. Saleh is remarkably kind and compassionate. She truly listened to my concerns and understood exactly what I was hoping to achieve with my contact lenses. She took the time to carefully address my astigmatism and recommended that I try a new brand. I'm currently testing them out, so we'll see how it goes. She sent me home with a four-day trial, and I'm looking forward to giving her feedback on the Precision1 lenses. Booking an appointment was incredibly easy. I simply called, and they were able to see me the very next day! The office itself is cozy and inviting, located in a convenient shopping center with plenty of parking. The staff is extremely helpful, friendly, and resourceful. Overall, I left feeling really confident about my experience. I think I've found the optometrist for me read more

We had such a great experience at this optometrist's office. From the moment we walked in, the front staff were so sweet and welcoming with my family and my two little ones. Although the appointment was initially only for one of my kids, we ended up scheduling an appointment for the entire family that same day because we were so pleased with the level of care, service and their expertise! They really went out of their way to make our first visit feel fun instead of scary, which made a huge difference. Every single person we interacted with, including Dr. Saleh, was friendly and engaging. They spoke to my child in a way that was easy to understand and kept things playful and age appropriate the whole time. You can tell they are very comfortable working with kids. Maricela is one of the members of the staff we met, who was exceptional in her approach. I feel like I met both an expert and a friend! She is such a delight. We all loved her! But really, every single person was so so sweet and very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly to me, which I really appreciated. I felt confident we were in good hands and I'm so grateful we found them! I would definitely recommend this office, especially for anyone bringing in little ones for their first eye exam. Thank you to everyone at Solace! You guys are really the best!! read more

I'm grateful for Dr. Saleh and her wonderful team at Solace Optometry! Last week, I had an eye infection, and they squeezed me in the very next day--I felt their genuine care. Dr. Saleh is patient and thorough with her exams, taking the time to explain everything clearly. I also really appreciated how attentive and supportive the staff were while I took (a lot of!) time choosing the right pair of glasses. I never felt rushed--only cared for. Highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for excellent eye care and a truly amazing and compassionate team! read more

We are new to the area and decided to go with solace optometry for myself and my family, their optometrist is wonderful! She's very knowledgeable and very kind. We definitely appreciate this when it comes to any form of care. Most of the staff is friendly and helpful. The location is in a plaza alongside plenty of stores. That being said, there's lots of parking. read more

Been coming here for years. Always excellent. Today was very different though. I was picking up my new glasses, and the girl who helped me was not friendly and rushed me out. I put on my new glasses and she asked me if I wanted to wear them out. I said yes, but they don't fit. As soon as I put my head down, they practically fell off. She went to the back and adjusted them - I tried them on again and they were better, but I don't know if they are correct. Anytime I've ever gotten new glasses, they have you look right at them to make sure they're straight. They feel the arms behind your ears to make sure they fit properly. None of that happened. I bet I was there 3 minutes from the time I walked in to the time I walked out. I also just noticed there is some type of printing on the edges of my lenses. I've tried cleaning them and it won't come off. * Response to Owner: I purchased the same exact lenses last year and they didn't have these markings. I paid for premium lenses. The markings are in my peripheral and makes it somewhat fuzzy/cloudy depending on which way I look. The marks are also visible to those looking at me. It's not acceptable. read more

I can't believe how efficient this team is! My appointment ran on time and everyone was super friendly and knowledgeable. The location is very clean and they have an amazing selection of glasses to choose from. read more

I HIGHLY recommend Solace Optometry. Everyone is so nice! I don't think I've ever been to a Doctor's office where every single person is incredibly nice and friendly. Dr. Saleh is awesome! I assumed my glasses stopped working a she found the issue and fixed my vision issues! read more

I had a eye exam performed here by Dr. Saleh and the experience was great. The selection of frames was limited but adequate.

Had a standard eye exam done. Staff very pleasant. My appointment was on time, no waiting. Equipment is new and thorough. Dr. answered all my questions and was very professional. Great experience! read more

Dr. Fatin was incredible with me! I've been dealing with migraines for so long, plus my old prescription was way over due. Not only did she hear my concerns, but also helped me realized dilation is key for my prescription, cause without it I give a false prescription which were what my last glasses were! She showed me my old prescription while dilated and oh boy no wonder for the migraines lol. I definitely recommend them! read more

Doctor is very nice and detailed answered all my questions and eye assessment was very thorough. Also very helpful with finding me the right contacts it took 3 times and I never felt rushed or a bother. Office staff is professional and nice and the office is very organized would highly recommend! read more

The doctor & ladies very professional and helpful, took the time with important information about glasses I give the office a 10

Had an appointment at this place today. It's been 17 years since I've had prescription glasses. I've gotten away with readers all this time. But now I have to have them for driving and most especially for reading. From the time I called to make the appointment (which was so great because they squeezed me in today) when they informed me they had just had a cancellation would I like it? Of course I jumped on it. But their entire staff has such an upbeat, great attitude. They're super nice. It was great experience from start to finish. I actually felt bad because I came in early and they took me early for my appointment and then at the very end I had to try to rush because I needed to get home to relieve my son-in-law so he could go to work. They even had a great sense of humor about that and got me out of there just in the nick of time I got home and he made it to work on time. But to that entire staff, kudos I mean they're just amazing and I can't sing enough praises! You should really check them out if you're looking for a new place to go get your eyes taken care of. 9/29- I also forgot to mention that I love your taste in music that's being played throughout your facility. It's so peaceful and calming read more

The Doctor and staff are amazing and very nice and accommodating. I like the fact they are open only M-F which means quality of life is valued. Recently, I messed up on my eyeglass order and my insurance covered the re-make but I realized the doctor had put in the additional items for my prescription EVEN though I said "single vision" and so that kind of forethought is amazing....Alondra is nice and all the staff there are great (I just don't know the names)...thank you Solace... read more

Recommended by VSP insurance so went in for an exam and fitting for contacts. Dr. was very sweet, super thorough and patient. The staff member who taught me how to put in & remove my contacts was a pro! The team spent additional time to make sure I was squeezing out every dollar of my benefits which I appreciated. I ended up walking out with contacts, computer glasses & sunglasses for $90. Would recommend! read more

They were good when I went for pervious appointments. Now, they don't take Tricare insurance anymore which is a big deal since we have such a large military community here. As for anyone that doesn't use Tricare, they were pretty good except for the high price of their glasses. read more

The front desk and dr here are so amazing! I was lucky enough to find Solace accepted my insurance and they are so amazing with my daughter and very kid friendly. Not to mention as an adult with anxiety I always find a nice comfortable/relaxing atmosphere when I visit the optometrist myself. Very hospitable and professional facility and will recommend to everyone! read more

My husband and I had such an awesome experience at this place! Ladies at the front desk were very personable and had great customer service! The Doctor was very friendly and professional :) We were seen promptly and they were not pushy about purchasing glasses, once we got our prescriptions. Will definitely be returning. read more

The attention and care provided at Solace is truly unmatched! I brought my elderly mom in for an eye exam and to get her progressives. The doctor was so patient and explained things to her in simple enough terms where I didn't need to help translate for the most part. My mom usually freaks out and needs my help for everything but I could tell she felt really comfortable here with the doctor and all the staff assisting her that she didn't even need me! It's rare that you can walk into any kind of medical office and get this kind of family-like care. Will definitely be referring all my friends and family here from now on! read more

I came in for my annual eye appointment and to get some new glasses and fell in love. The check in process was super easy, just filling out some forms about my insurance and health background, and was seen by the doctor within minutes. The doctor was super nice and thorough with my exam, but the best part was my experience picking new frames. Priya, the one to check me in, was so helpful in grabbing different frames to try on and explaining the various options for lens types after I picked the frames. Overall a wonderful experience, and worth the drive from San Diego to Murrieta! read more

Came here based on the ratings. Absolutely impressed. Front office staff was kind and patient. The wait time was non-existent. We were able to be seen instantly. They helped us every step of the way and went above and beyond with assisting us with little questions and requests. Doctor was extremely helpful. We didn't feel rushed or silly for asking many questions. She explained everything very well to us and didnt act annoyed after several questions. The exam was comprehensive and no steps were skipped. Ordering glasses was such an easy process. Overall, we love this place. Finding great doctors with great Staff is hard. You usually must pick one or the other. We will be back :) ​​ read more

I recently came in for an eye exam and new frames. The staff was extremely nice and very informative. The lady that helped me with choosing frames was very helpful and patient since I was having a hard time deciding which frame to choose. Since I have a progressive lens they need to measure where the readers start and it was a perfect measurement. I couldn't be happier with my frame choice as well. I absolutely love the Calvin Klein frames! Thanks again Solace for the stellar customer service! read more

I had a good experience here getting my glasses, as smooth as it can go for we who have to get new ones every couple of years or so. The exam was pretty streamlined and quick, and I'm happy with my prescription; I don't have to squint any more. They were very helpful, and patient as I had a hard time choosing ultimately which frames to get. Thanks much! read more

Sometimes it's difficult to find words that adequately describe a five-star rating. That would be this situation. The newer doctor here is off the chart amazing! Dr. Saleh is knowledgeable, communicative, patient with her patients, and very present in your time with her. Her follow up is something I've never experienced in this area. It caught me by surprise, but this is what care used to look like. In this office, it's back! The staff is kind, attentive, extremely professional, and always responding to my questions with compassion. I've never experienced a wait longer than a few very short minutes. Their frame selections are great, and I never feel like I'm intruding when I try on several different styles. This office is a hidden gem. So glad I found it! read more

We were looking for a new optometrist. This one was recommended by our insurance so we took a chance. The front staff and doctor were all very friendly. I really appreciated the doctor explaining things as she went along. They have a good selection of glasses. I would say the only downside is the frames are very expensive there. But that is the case at the majority of optometrist offices. Still We left happy because we felt we received a quality exam and care. read more

LOVED our doctor in San Diego, but had to find a new one since he moved. Solace Optometry had good reviews, so I gave them a shot. Located in a shopping center, they are right off the freeway and have sufficient parking. The waiting area is clean and offers a small to moderate selection of eyewear to choose from. The ladies in the front are kind. Dr. Saleh was very professional and caring. She took her time to make sure my daughter was comfortable and she was satisfied with the final prescription. Frames are average price from what I am used to. I will definitely come back for my own exam next year. read more

As someone who has had glasses basically all their life, I've been to my few shares of optometry clinics. From in-network to out-network clinics, from target optical to fashion designed boutiques, I've never really quite found a place that helped me with my hindrance of not being able to see clear, affordability that I was comfortable or able to pay and the confidence and style to what frames are on my face; until now. Solace Optometry really helped me with affordability, eye care and confidence! The staff was super sweet, from the front desk to the Dr, they all helped me with any questions I had. They worked around my schedule to find me the best time for me as well as listened to the preferences I had regarding the style and features I wanted. Not once did they try to up charge me or oversell me on a product they themselves didn't believe in but were clear cut and honest on what my prescription said and what they think would truly benefit me. Safe to say, they have a lifelong customer in me for sure! read more

Really loved the customer service at Solace. I hadn't gone to the optometrist for years, and the Dr. was extremely patient with me! Answered all of my questions. They were especially helpful with walking me through my insurance, and finding a pair of glasses that were covered. I felt like I tried on a million pairs before I decided and they didn't rush me at all, but were super helpful about what looked good and fit my face. They have an amazing selection! I highly recommend. read more

I was digging in my yard and a piece of rock and some dirt flew into my eyes. I flushed my eyes out immediately after, but there was some stinging a few weeks later and I started to become concerned thinking I may have caused some actual damage to my eye. I called to make an appointment and Dr. Krewer was able to see me immediately. The staff was all very nice and so was Dr. Krewer. The doctor did a thorough evaluation and assured me that there was no debris left in my eye after this unfortunate accident, but there was some inflammation on my inner eyelids that he addressed with some prescription eyedrops. My eyes are now as good as new and I am happy that I was able to find top notch eye care in the area. Thank you, Dr. Krewer and staff at Solace Optometry, I really appreciate you and the work you do! read more

Yessssss. Finally a place to actually get designer. The staff is amazing. The doctor was phenomenal. I love how they have options for the lenses. It not just basic. They aren't pushy. They actually care about their patients. I actually felt like I was being treated like a human and not just a number. read more

I had my first appointment with Solace Optometry this week. I was drawn to this office because of the positive reviews. Front office staff- attentive, friendly and welcoming. The office is clean and comfortable offering mini stylish options for eyewear. Optometry tech - she was so kind and knowledgeable utilizing state of the art equipment they offer to assess your eyes. Dr. Saleh- she has a wonderful bedside manner, was patient with all of my questions, offered advice and presented as passionate about what she does. Pryrah- I spent the most time with her discussing insurance options, trying on the glasses and ultimately ordered several pairs with her expertise on getting the most for my money with insurance to minimize out of pocket costs. She was so patient and knowledgeable, answering follow-up questions I had the next day. Grateful to have found this office. Good service is sometimes hard to come by lately, let alone great service! I will be dragging my husband in soon for his eye exam, LOL . Thank you Solace Optometry for your excellent customer service. read more

I had a wonderful experience at Solace optometry. The staff are very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The doctor was very kind, thorough, and answered all of my questions. I also received great help with my frame selection. I just picked up my glasses, and I must say it's the best pair of glasses I've ever gotten. The prescription is perfect! I also ended up getting the digital aspheric lenses, the clarity and definition is beyond amazing! Thank you to the entire team Solace Optometry! read more

I called to schedule an appointment for myself and two toddlers since this page states they service as young as 6 months old. My children are over the age of 1 year old. When I called, the individual who answered said they don't take children younger than 5. I think the page should be updated, and the website should clearly state what age is under the pediatric section. read more

My vision completely left after my second child and I've always had great vision so it was a huge life change for me ! I also was happy with the staff.

So happy I got my glasses from here! I was lucky to have the owner assisting me with my visit, and I chose my glasses after trying on at least 10 pairs. She was patient with me and let me take my time. She was also very knowledgeable about the different types of lenses and add-ons, which helped me make a well informed decision. Thank you Solace!! read more

I used to loved this place until it got sold. my problem is not this place but the lab they are using, they never got my prescription correct and I have to be using my old glasses. they have no clue what they are doing! read more

Friendly office staff, definitely made the right choice by coming here. Dr Saleh answered all my questions and was very knowledgeable. I had a great optometrist for the last 25 years in Northern California and he has subsequently retired, moved down here and so glad I found this place. read more

Nice clean office. The staff is nice and the doctor as well. I took my 10 year old here. Only thing I would say is to teach the front desk employee to smile when she makes eye contact with the patients. read more
