Just a few of the Maui Jim's available in-store
Mark F.

I have been coming here for a couple years now and have had a great shopping experience each time! Keep these two points in mind ahead to help ensure you too have a great eyewear shopping experience: 1. There is VERY limited parking right in front of this store, which can be easy to miss. Thankfully you can park on the street. 2. There is a HUUUUUGE in-store selection! Do yourself a favor and have a good idea of what you're looking for ahead of your visit to save yourself some time. Honestly, even when I think I know what I want, down the manufacture and frame model, I have still managed to take an hour to make my final selections. Michael has helped me during both of my visits. He offers thoughtful insights that have been very helpful in my eyewear selection. Most of the sunglasses featured here can be made with prescription frames. You can bring in your prescription or visit the optometrist this shop partners with. Just be sure to confirm what hours the optometrist is in because those hours differ from the shop itself. Thus far I have bought several pairs of Oakleys, Maui Jims and a sweet pair of Rudy Project shades for cycling. It's beary good! __ __ (__)____(__) | * * | |____X ___| 2019

Great place with so many selections. The staff is very friendly and courteous. Valerie was exceptionally very helpful and patient with me, and she made sure I was very content with my purchase before walking out. The perfect spot for great sunglasses.

Super friendly staff and super helpful!!! My husband came here to find a good fit for his large framed face and the staff here were so knowledgeable and pointed him to so many options.

Glasses once again comfy and operational!

Fantastic, friendly service. My glasses, which I didn't even buy there, were missing both nose support thingies. Helene not only replaced them, she also realigned and readjusted my glasses, which had been sat on and the frames were bent. She even polished my lenses before having me try them on for readjustment if necessary. Super friendly, super fast service. Didn't charge me a thing, next time I need to buy or have glasses repaired, I'll definitely come here

Would you believe after all these years, the good old days in Alameda I still haven't found someone as good as you, not to mention with staff that was really knowledgeable and knows what they're doing. My eyesight is getting worse for not being able to find a place, where not only they have a good doctor but also staff that are highly trained and knows what they're doing, not just ones who got trained on the job. I missed you and Michael. He was the best help when it comes to fitting and adjustments. Since you are no longer here do you know how I can find him for proper adjustments and any referral for someone as good as you? I hope you still remember me, one of your favorite Alameda patient. I'm really upset that you left . It was bad enough that you left Alameda after getting married then slowly you just concentrate on your SF office then after all these years or how many decades I find out your in San Diego Emma P N

He was very sincere and honest about my problem and my need for this report. He made a through examination and told me things I never heard from my past visits with different doctors. He filled the form with his personal recommendation for an unrestricted licence and he only charged me a small consultation fee instead of a full eye exam fee. I will definetly visit him in the future for my periodic examinations. Thank you Mr Matthews.

Let me start by saying I had no reason to. This location is nothing like the other. The doctors were great at both locations, but Sports Arena was still better by a landslide. The tech in the beginning was so nice and funny and made the whole start of it easy, even relaxed. I was able to redo my Neurovision test, which I needed for my BVD, binocular vision dysfunction. If you don't know what that is, they explain it well and walk you through your options of treatment, and it's worth it. My motion sickness is finally gone after having it my whole life. Back to the doctor, she was kind and thorough. She made sure I was getting what I needed and gave me options. My insurance covers prism lenses for BVD but not Neurolenses. I've used Neurolenses last time, and they help amazingly, but I wanted to see if the ones my insurance covered would work, so she worked up the numbers for both in case I needed to come back to switch out for the Neurolenses. When she brought me to the front to be helped with getting glasses and going over my insurance with the next person, they both reassured me that if the prisms didn't work, I could bring back my glasses, and the amount I paid would be put towards the other lenses. That was a relief. The gentleman in the front who helped me also helped my husband that day, and he was amazing. He had a freeing vibe that was all his own, and he knew how to read exactly what you wanted. They being frames to you so you don't have to wander. It was a nice surprise to be catered to like that. He made it fun, and the few pieces of feedback given, he took to heart and redirected exactly to what you needed. He found my favorite pair of frames I've ever had. I've gone back and forth from metal to plastic but almost always doing black. Without knowing it, he grabbed a clear pink pair I was eyeing from across the room like he was reading my mind. I'm in love with them. They're the best-fitting glasses I've ever had, which is saying a lot since I have a small head, and most fall off. I've had to get kids' glasses in the past. These were kids' glasses, and they were perfect. He did amazing. Best yet, he did his magic all over again with my husband and got him a pair of frames he loves that he normally would never go for. My husband is a brow glasses guy. This time, with the help of this gentleman and a lot of convincing from his wife, he tried a full frame and loves it. They know what they're doing here. We'll definitely be returning!

I would NOT recommend this place, and I will not be coming back. I am extremely frustrated and…read morehonestly pissed off about how this entire situation was handled. I have a different prescription for each eye, and they switched my prescriptions twice, resulting in incorrect glasses. It took three months and multiple trips back, including additional eye exams and revisits, before I finally received the prescription my eye doctor originally prescribed. Then there was an even bigger issue: they threw away my original lenses. When I called the next day, they couldn't even find them or clearly explain what happened. As a "courtesy," they replaced the lenses -- but they replaced them with my prescription lenses instead of the original non-prescription tinted lenses that were supposed to be in my sunglasses. At the time, I didn't realize this. Now, more than a year later, I decided I wanted to wear those sunglasses again with my contacts, and I discovered that they put prescription lenses in them. I can't even use them as sunglasses with my contacts anymore. What makes me even more angry is that the manager still fails to understand the actual problem and wants to charge me another $70 to replace the lenses. Why should I have to pay $70 to fix something that happened because they threw away my original lenses and couldn't even find them the next day? If your mistake results in my original lenses being discarded, I expect you to take responsibility and replace them with what I originally had -- not give me something different and then charge me again when I discover the problem later. The manager has also been unable to clearly explain what happened or take responsibility for the situation. I've had to repeatedly explain the problem instead of feeling like management actually understood or resolved it. For what they charge, I expected accuracy, professionalism, accountability, and customer service. Unfortunately, my experience has been the complete opposite. I am extremely unhappy with this place and will absolutely not be coming back. If you have insurance, I strongly recommend going somewhere else. Honestly, Costco has been a better experience. Save yourself the time, money, frustration, and multiple trips. Go somewhere else.
