Ray was friendly, efficient and had them fixed in just a few minutes. I highly recommend the eye glass factory. This team had smiles on their faces and not only ready to help every customer that walked in, but they are quick and very knowledgeable. That you eyeglass factory!

Solid sunglass shop on State Street…read more I love Top Gun, and the recent release of Top Gun:Maverick (which we saw last month) made me realize I needed a new pair of aviator sunglasses. Besides, the old ones were leaching green metallic oxide every now and then - "Dad, your cheeks are green!" Walking on State Street with the missus today, I noticed that this shop had a sale on Ray Bans, and in we went, like moths to a flame. Michael, the shop proprietor, was a great help, pointing me to the sunglasses I needed (polarized, UV resistant, comfortable) and helping me select the right pair. I confess I could not make up my mind between two different pairs so I bought them both! Why not - after all, today is the 60th birthday of Tom Cruise!

A special shoutout to Anastasiia and Lianna, who went above and beyond to make me feel cute and fashionable in my new specs. Their positive energy is contagious, and you can tell they genuinely love helping people feel their best. The entire Urban Optics team works together well, creating a cheerful environment. I always look forward to my exams and leave very happy. Dr. Zucker is pretty cool too! My prescriptions are always the best. I've tried other places and came right back. Thank you all for your great service year after year!

Worst OD I've ever been to. ** important note: They are not an authorized Oakley dealer and one of…read morethe reason is their business practices. They will put their own lenses on the Oakley's you bring BUT they don't tell you that Oakley doesn't allow any other lenses but Oakley to be used in their frames, it nulls the warranty and no authorized Oakley reseller optometrist will touch them after those lenses are put in or they'll lose they're license to sell Oakley's. When they were confronted with this, their response was that they'll gladly put new lenses in if I came in and paid for a new eye exam and pay for new lenses. So you're telling me you messed up and you won't fix your screw up without collecting more money. Lastly, they also lie about what your insurance covers. My insurance covers the eye exam but they lied and charged hundreds for the first exam that my insurance actually would have fully covered! Santa Barbara was never a place I'd expect to be ripped off, for such a "prestigious" city. Can't wait for the city to get through with their unethical business practices! Zero stars should be an option for Yelp reviews.

Although we usually have a pleasant shopping experience, this time it was very lackluster. The store wasn't busy at all. There were maybe four or five other people in the store besides us. NOT one person greeted us when we walked into the main area of the store and yet there were THREE employees all behind the counter just socializing with one another. The one time any of the four of us were even acknowledged by an employee was when my husband had merchandise in his hands. We're going to skip this place next time and spend our money supporting other businesses.

Both sets had to be redone and I had to go back in for another eye exam to sort things out. I will not be going back there for exams again. The staff are super courteous but the system is not good at all. They send you texts saying your glasses are ready, but they aren't actually ready. You swing by and find out that you have to wait for a call from them before they are ready for pickup. So I had to just ignore multiple texts saying my glasses were ready, and wasted time making a trip to the store. By the time I'm about to pick up the glasses the second time I have very little faith that things will turn out OK. I was understanding and courteous the entire time, but it was frustrating. When I picked them up they were good the second time, but the fitting was rushed and I felt like the staff member just wanted to get me out of there quickly. Final note: the prices. They may not have any control over this at the store but the pricing is just too high. Luxottica is ripping people off. I have very good insurance (EyeMed) and haven't gotten glasses or contacts in 2 years, yet I still had to pay hundreds of dollars to get these new ones. That's just not right. Next time I'm going elsewhere.
