This is an update to my review of Urban Optics three years ago. Hubby and I returned a few weeks…read moreago with several optical projects each. Today, we returned and picked up glasses! Hubby had 3 projects. The two pairs of glasses he bought 3 years ago, and has been wearing regularly since, needed some slight adjustments and repairs. Enter Johanna, the incredibly helpful, cheerful, knowledgeable and resourceful staffmember at Urban Optics. She greeted us at the counter and fixed hubby's two repairs/adjustments in lightening speed. Hubby also had some Maui Jim prescription sunglasses and wanted his new prescription put in those. Johanna sent them to Maui Jim for him. We just picked them up today and he loves his new lenses and plans to return soon to order progressives with his new prescription. I also had 3 projects. One was a pair of readers with a broken frame and a replacement frame to move the lenses into. Johanna worked her magic in moments and I had new readers! The second was the day we returned to pick up hubby's glasses and had occurred that morning. Our 6-month old puppy had turned my readers into a chew toy and popped one lens out, which I couldn't get back into the frame. Johanna took about 10 seconds to fix it and handed them right back to me. (How does she do that???) My third project was something of a tale. A few months ago, I left my vintage Maui Jim sunglasses on a plane. Since then, I found another pair on ebay. They were in great shape, but needed some adjustments for my face. The only thing was when I got to the shop, I didn't have them in my backpack. I remembered when I got out of the car, I heard something fall out of my pack and hit the ground. I had retrieved my wallet off the ground, but now I had a sinking feeling the new (vintage) sunglasses may have also fallen out of my bag. I raced back to the parking garage to see if they were there. I found them on the ground behind the car and when I pulled them out of their case, a car had obviously run over them, wrecking the frames and crushing one of the lenses. I returned to the shop, heartbroken, and furious at myself for not going through my bag to make sure I had everything before leaving the parking garage. Johanna was incredibly kind and felt confident she could fix the frames and would also call Maui Jim and see if they could provide a lens for my vintage sunglasses. Within a few days, Johanna texted to let me know that she had repaired the frames, but that Maui Jim no longer made lenses for my glasses. She offered to put non-Maui Jim lenses in the frames, but I would rather keep watching ebay and am confident that eventually, I'll find a lens there. When I picked up the sunglasses today, I was shocked at the frames. Johanna completely restored them to the point that you cannot tell they were crushed by a car. I've included a photo that shows the crushed and broken lens next to the completely restored frames. Hubby and I continue to be overwhelmed with the wonderful customer service at Urban Optics. We were especially appreciative of the service the very capable Johanna gave to us both. Thank you, Johanna. We know we were not easy customers and we so appreciate your kind care and attention to our various projects. Three years after my first 5-star review of Urban Optics, it is a pleasure to post an update and award another 5-stars to this gem at La Arcada Plaza. I asked hubby if he had anything he wanted to add to this review. His comment: "Urban Optics is the place to be if you want to be able to see like me!"

They have an equipment that can scan the back of the eye to detect any issues. Dr. Skromne took the time to explain and show me what the scans indicated. I did not feel rushed at all, and actually thought they were extra patient with me especially since I kept switching deciding between getting glasses or prescription sunglasses. The whole team was professional and friendly, from the welcoming receptionist to the Optician who fitted my glasses. Would definitely recommend!

Fortune made my appointment, and Julie helped me find their office on Donlon Street.

Elaine assisted with my paperwork and helped me fit my glasses. I was never pressured to buy anything, and the whole experience was fantastic. I haven't personally met Fortune or Dr. Funnell yet, since they were off that day, so I have even more to look forward to when I pick up my new glasses next week. And they all have a sense of humor, too. Jeff Hodge / AKA... The Blind Driver and Bobby the Telepathic Guide Dog

When I first went to this place for an eye exam and to order new contacts I was very impressed with the efficiency, especially for a small town facility. However, since then, it has been downhill. I took home a trial pair of contacts and then, when I was sure the contacts were working for me, I called to order a full year supply. I waited for them to come in. I waited. I waited. I called and was told they should be in soon. Finally, I was told that they never got ordered but they would order them that day. I waited. I waited. What should have been an overnight fix took another week. Now, it's time to order glasses. I went in. Picked out frames. Didn't complain about the price, although it was much higher than I am used to paying, Again, I waited. And waited. Finally called and was told that the glasses came I but one of the lenses had a chip. They would remake and call me when they were in. I waited. I waited. (Do you see a theme here?). I called and was told that the glasses would be here tomorrow. I waited. I called. No glasses. Somehow they missed the delivery. I waited. The weekend came and went. Monday is here. I was assured the glasses would be in this morning. I am still waiting. My prescription will probably change before my glasses show up. And, on top of it, when I asked if there was an office manager in charge I was told no. Any surprise there? Moral of the story is -- unless you have lots of money and lots of patience go somewhere else for your eye care needs

I set an appointment and when I arrived the office was nearly empty I had to wait for the optician lady to return from lunch or break. It took about 20 minutes of her typing on her computer with very little interaction. 7 to 10 days for my glasses. After 2 weeks I was called and told my glasses were ready. The lady hands me a bag with my glasses, I look inside the bag and she asks if I want to try them on. Of course. They fit okay. When I get to the car and put on one of the glasses I noticed a black ink mark on each lens,that I had to clean off. Maybe I was spoiled by my old eye doc. He would personally meet with patients picking up glasses, make sure they fit perfectly and then clean them. I'll be looking for a new optometrist.
