Walked by here the other day, had a pair of shades I was wearing that were a tad too loose. Denise (I believe her name was) was so SO sweet. She fixed the fit on my shades for free and was so kind and helpful. Next time I'm looking for shades I want to come here. I was so impressed. Thank you! read more

The collections, variety of styles and colors on this optical store is incredible. More than my friend and I expected. She was looking for a particular brand and they carry it but she ended not liking the frames she tried out. I tried so many and have a couple in mind for when I do my yearly renewal. Hopefully they will still have them...otherwise I know that most probably their next collection would be a great. Cool decor all over, very nice customer service too. read more

See all

Denise is amazing! I tried adjusting my sunglasses at home by warming them over the stovetop - bad idea. I ended up melting one of the arms. Denise repaired them so they look brand new and refitted them perfectly. Highly recommend! read more

The Unoptical - Replaced lens. Not more scratches! Yay! - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Encinitas, California

I don't visit Encinitas often but friend loves this part of town. He took me few weekends before Xmas so we could do some shopping and have lunch . I would have never thought to visit this store had they not displayed some hilarious caps for sale out front. Yes they sell glasses but they also had some super fun non-optical items to purchase. The two people working that day were super welcoming and nice. They have a Hillcrest location that I didn't know about until now (searching on Yelp). Friend and I both bought two hats. Mine was for a white elephant gift and his as a xmas present for me. Each was $25. The captions on hats are beyond sarcastic hilarious. See pics to understand. What I appreciated was their return policy (we kept items but for others to know). I asked if all sales final and the nice gentleman said no, you can get refund or exchange with receipt which I thought was really cool as i didn't know if this was a legit shop. I love love love my hat and can't wait to wear it ! read more

Thank you Denise! Im so happy i walked into your shop, it's wonderful. Many many frames to choose from. I was looking for help in replacing lenses in my Roan sunglasses and straightening the metal frames out. Denise told me to bring them in that she most likely could do it all! Next day i was in and within 1hr my sons Sunny's had new lenses and a straight frame!!!!! Yes, my lenses were brand new thanks to her old school lens machine! This visit was magical and thanks to Denise's customer service i will absolutely be back! Thank you! read more

I love Un Optical-they have a wide range of beautiful frames and provide excellent customer service. I recently went in for a repair of my sunglasses and they couldn't have been more helpful and kind. My husband and I have purchased quite a few glasses from them and they have always been patient and helpful in picking out the perfect pair! read more

Amazing service from Willy and Evelyn, thank you so much! Dropped in without appt and they helped me with a difficult repair. I deeply appreciate the customer service here! read more

This is a great (if a bit confusing upon first entrance) optical store. It seems like another beach-y, novelty store, but it is truly a great spot to get your glasses. They have a good array of sunglasses (including about 30 pair that always seem to be heavily discounted on the clearance table - including Ray Ban), sun hats, novelty baseball caps, and a wide array of potential gifts (grooming products, etc). But, it is as a full service optical store where they excel. They have an excellent selection (and even more in their Hillcrest store - see NOTE - below). The opticians in both stores will actually steer you to glasses that suit/fit you. THIS is what helps separate them. It can be very confusing when it comes to purchasing frames, but their opticians are able to act as stylists. Once in, they get the glasses fitted properly and you can always go back in and get them tuned up. Scratch the lenses and they'll replace them for free. They offer other support in case you break them and don't try to upsell you with insurance. We bought three pair as part of their buy 2-get-1-free program (one sunglass and 2 clear vision). Again, see note - below). All but progressive lenses are made by them and the progressives are back in a week or so. NOTE: They have a wider selection of frames in their original Hillcrest store and the stores do have a mix of unique-to-each-store and shared styles, so if you find a frame in one store and two at the other store, you can package them together. read more

Lovely place , friendly and helpful ! I had an issue with my only eye-glasses, the little screw had to be replaced. Lady behind the counter agreed to help and saved my life. It was the only place around that I could find on Sunday. The selection of sunglasses is wide. They also have different accessories for sale. Good if you are looking to buy a gift. read more

I have needed glasses for many years and finally decided it was time. Jim and Jean were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable! They helped me find the perfect fit and style. They made the entire process easy and painless. I would highly recommend UnOptical to everyone! read more

Denise was amazing and would go back and see her for my glasses needs again! Great customer service!

We absolutely LOVE Unoptical, and have now purchased at least 7 pairs of prescription glasses here because of the great selection and professional and kind service. I have worn glasses since I was 2, and have a complicated prescription, and they are simply amazing, anticipating my taste, preferences and prescription requirements/restrictions. I take a loooong time to make my selections, trying on many items, and they are always incredibly patient and helpful with me. We love them so much that we drive 80 miles r/t to visit them! The new Rancho Santa Fe location is also great as well. Follow up service is great, they are happy to fix/adjust my glasses when I bang them up! Truly the best optical experience. Give them a try! read more

I had a great experience today at UnOptical...I received first class treatment from Evelyn, the optician, repairing a lens/frame combination from another place and fixing me up beyond expectations...Wonderful atmosphere, friendly and efficient....I will be back! read more

The team at UnOptical are so friendly and welcoming, I highly recommend this store! Denise was so helpful and kind, and all the glasses were gorgeous, definitely give them a visit if you are in need of a new pair. read more

Professional, knowledgeable, reliable. Amazing selection. I've needed new glasses for several years-looked everywhere!! Finally, I stumbled into unoptical and found the perfect pair! They were sooo helpful, not at all pushy. Quick to put lenses in. Reasonably priced, went out of their way for me. I soooo highly recommend! read more

I came into SD for vacation and my sunglasses had just broke, but I walked into UnOptical and asked if they could fix them. Evelyn was extremely kind and fixed my sunglasses for free :) And walking around the store there were a ton of other awesome sunglasses. I bought a second pair! very nice people and service read more
