I've been going to Urban Eyes for years, and there's a very simple reason why: everyone there is consistently friendly, kind, and genuinely caring. This year I've been working with Jordan who is fantastic! I've never had an optician who seemed to simply want to help from the heart, yet that's exactly how this place operates. My wife and I have remained loyal customers because they always take the time to make sure our glasses fit perfectly. They have an incredible talent for getting the fit just right. I've had too many ill-fitting pairs of glasses over the years, but not a single one has ever come from Urban Eyes. Even the doctor has come out to check on patients and see how everyone is doing. They never seem too busy to help, even when the office is packed. Urban Eyes has earned my business for life. read more

Jordan and the entire team, including the doctors, provide top-notch service and professionalism. Whenever I've had questions or concerns, they've always responded quickly and professionally, consistently going above and beyond. After reading some other negative reviews, it seems many of those issues may have been addressed with the new team of sales and service staff? But from my experience of shopping there the last 5-6 times they have always been doing an outstanding job. My family and I have been repeat customers for the past three years, and this has become our go-to place for eye exams and glasses. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent care and customer service. read more

Urban Eyes - Sunglasses Dita - Optometrists Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

After a much-needed update to my prescription, the team at Urban Eyes did a fantastic job of setting me up with 3 new pairs of glasses. The store itself is easy to find, the staff is very friendly, and the doctor is absolutely amazing. I found them on recommendation from someone who used to work as an optometrist, and this is where they sent me. This was, by far, the best eye check-up experience I have ever had and I am so happy to finally see clearly. Huge thank you to Christy and Dr. Kindberg for all their help and expertise. read more

I was new to the area and was looking to find a optometrist to get my eyes checked for the first time since high school and ended up dropping by the shop walking distance to me and scheduling and appointment. Off the bat I was met with welcome from one of the frames experts Jordan who made sure I tried out the best frames for my head shape. I ended up purchasing a pair of Chrome Hearts frames before I even had my appointment because I was so happy with the fitting experience. It seems like they just got approved to sell Chrome Hearts so they had ample selection and they mentioned they can order me what ever style I was interested in. They did have a variety of other high end brands such as Cartier, Tom Ford, Gucci, etc The eye exam also went super smooth the next and I went through everything with Dr. Henderson who gave me my my prescription. I've been back a few times to get my frames adjusted and also just to look at any new frames they had. Even ended up buying a bunch more during their chrome hearts fitting event. Ive received nothing but the best service from Urban Eyes and they're always so friendly to just have me in to browse. The place is as well kept and modern as it gets with a comfortable seating area and beverages while you wait. Make sure to drop by if you have anything frames or optometry related concerns! read more

See all

Urban Eyes is truly the best at what they do! The whole team had great attention to detail and know how to make patients have a memorable experience. Jordan helped me pick out some new frames and if you're in the hunt for some new luxury eyewear, he's the guy to go to! Excited for my new Chrome Hearts -- thank you so much to Dr. Kindberg for the best exam read more

Urban Eyes - Optometrists Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I'm very grateful to have found this place when they were located in Redmond. Everyone here is amazing at listening to all of my concerns and they take the time to inform me of all the different options that are available. I've gone here for my annual eye exams for years and have never received anything less than kind and professional service! read more

**Update (July 2026):** I'm updating my review because **more than five months later**, I am **still receiving bills for contact lenses I never ordered.** My original review described repeated front office and management issues, but it's worth emphasizing what led to this situation. What should have been a simple annual contact lens order turned into repeated back-and-forth communications over the course of a couple of days with multiple front office staff members and management. Despite those repeated communications, the office was unable to successfully process what should have been a routine contact lens order. After the repeated back-and-forth and the office's inability to complete my order, I finally gave up and clearly informed them that I would **not** be ordering my contact lenses through them and would instead purchase them elsewhere. Shortly afterward, I received a bill for the very contact lenses I had **never ordered**. After my original review, the office asked me to contact them directly. I did, and I was assured the bill had been sent in error and that the issue had been resolved. Unfortunately, **more than five months later**, I continue to receive billing statements for contact lenses I never ordered or authorized. The irony is difficult to ignore. While I was an actual patient trying to place a legitimate contact lens order, the office was unable to process it despite repeated communications and management involvement. Yet after I explicitly declined to order through them and took my business elsewhere, they somehow managed to repeatedly bill me for products that were never ordered. At this point, this is no longer an isolated billing mistake. It reflects ongoing administrative and billing failures that have continued for more than five months despite the office acknowledging the original error. The doctor was excellent, and I continue to believe the quality of the medical care itself was very good. Unfortunately, the repeated front office, management, and billing issues have completely overshadowed that positive experience. I hope the office takes the necessary steps to correct its administrative and billing processes so other patients do not experience the same ongoing issues. read more

I placed an order for glasses that was quoted at a three-week turnaround, for a special ordered frame. It has now been five weeks and I still do not have my glasses. During this time, I was told multiple times that I would "receive a follow-up text this afternoon," but no follow-up ever came. Each update required me to call back the following week to ask for an update. I was later informed the order had been sent to the wrong lab, causing additional delays. Most recently, yesterday, I was told the glasses were in-store and would be ready the next day, but again, communication has been inconsistent. So I called today at 10:10am to hear, "wait for a text." At this point, the main issue is not just the delay, but the lack of reliable communication and follow-through. I would strongly recommend clearer timelines and proactive updates for customers in the future. read more

Urban Eyes in Kirkland is hands down one of the best optical boutiques I've been to. The selection is incredible, especially if you're looking for luxury eyewear. They carry brands like Cartier and Chrome Hearts, which can be hard to find, and the team really knows how to help you find frames that fit your style and face. read more

I had a great first exam here. The frames are all super high end but not quite in my budget, so I ended up going elsewhere for frames. But the staff was great, my exam was a breeze. Will definitely be back to see Dr. Gu. read more

WARNING: This practice has a hidden "no refunds whatsoever" policy that is only disclosed on the receipt AFTER you pay. They make no exceptions regardless of your circumstances. I was over-sold prescriptions I didn't actually need, which resulted in persistent headaches and physical discomfort. When I attempted to return or exchange the glasses due to these health issues, I discovered their absolute no-refund policy - a policy that appears nowhere on their website, isn't posted anywhere in their office, and wasn't mentioned by staff during the sales process. The only disclosure is buried in fine print on the receipt they hand you after swiping your card (see attached image). This policy is not on the emailed Rx or Invoice that they email you, and I was only shown the fine print when I filed a dispute and pointed out that there was no policy posted anywhere. They said "oh yeah it's on the receipt you got" as if I should have noticed this AFTER swiping my credit card and seeing the charge appear in Amex. This is fundamentally deceptive business practice. I researched dozens of other optometrists in the area and every single one offers reasonable refund or exchange policies, especially for cases involving health issues or incorrect prescriptions. Even when I offered to simply exchange for a different model rather than seek a refund, they refused, insisting I was "locked in" to my purchase. After filing a credit card dispute and multiple attempts at reasonable resolution, it's clear this business prioritizes extracting money over patient care or basic consumer protection. The combination of over-selling unnecessary prescriptions, hiding restrictive policies until after payment, and refusing any accommodation for health-related issues demonstrates a concerning disregard for both ethics and customer wellbeing. Save yourself the headache - literally - and choose any of the many other local optometrists who operate with transparency and reasonable policies. read more

nice place but very pricey, even with insurance. The person that helped us pick glasses only focused on my husband :), and made me buy a pricey one that was too heavy. unfortunately waited too long to exchange my prescription glasses, now im stuck with super pricey frames that dont fit my face. read more

Great first time experience. Was able to secure appointment same day. Very quick and professional . Happy to have found Urban Eyes!

Overall experience was great. Dr.kind was so patient in explaining and clarifying questions and also staff service is good. although frames and lenses are quite expensive it can be around $850. we just got the prescription,thought of buying elsewhere. its good that they have free snacks and they have validated parking. read more

This place is a trap. They lure you in with medical authority, push expensive products you don't need, and then deny every promise they made once they've taken your money. If you value your eyesight, your wallet, or basic honesty, avoid this business. My wife came in with simple eye discomfort, needing an exam before a referral. The doctor ran a quick test and immediately pushed an $800+ pair of Neural Lenses. The only reason we agreed was because he clearly promised a no-hassle 90-day return if they didn't work. The lenses made everything worse. She tried for three weeks, but the discomfort only intensified and interfered with her work and daily life. When we went back to return them--well within the promised window--the staff suddenly claimed they "don't do refunds." They pretended the doctor's guarantee didn't exist and insisted on another round of testing. Their "solution" was that if the lenses still didn't work, we should buy another pair of glasses from them. That isn't care. It's pressure. They then brought out three different staff members to repeat the same script and block the return. Meanwhile, the doctor--the same person who made the return promise--hid in the back and refused to face us. Once they've taken your money, any professionalism disappears. You're left fighting a business that makes up its policies as it goes along. If you don't want to experience the same frustration, wasted money, and stress, stay far away from this place. read more

From the first time I set foot at urban eyes I felt like I was getting ViP treatment! My doctor (Henderson) had switched practices and I loved her so much, I followed her. The owner (Dr. kindberg) personally introduced herself and said she was so happy I had followed my treatment to Urban Eyes. Ladies at the front desk are very polite, professional and warm. Kim especially since I have come in so much since then now knows who I am. Big shout out to Justin for helping me pick and get the best glasses and to work efficiently with my insurance. To Alice, for helping me with an issue with them as well. Overall, I could not recommend this practice enough. Never a wait to speak to someone in person, responsive, polite, professional, and nice! Great glass selection Ive never seen anywhere else, and they are open 7 days a week. A real treasure in kirkland urban. read more

I am new to the area and I needed to find a doctor to get a eye exam. I went into this location today. My appointment was with Dr. Henderson very nice. She took a time with me. We went over everything. The office is so advanced for eye exam it does not make sense love my experience. I will be recommending everybody to this location. Everybody was nice and friendly clean welcoming. I did a good job picking this place. Thank you for the excellent service. read more

Superb, is the best word to describe Urban Eyes. :) Bright, inviting office with fantastic doctor and staff! Dr. Kindberg was very professional and warm, she was super fast understanding my aging eyes' needs, and getting me much-needed fittings for the lenses. Jordan was so patient and wonderful - he spent pretty long time to deal with my indecisiveness to pick a most functional yet stylish frame for my new pair of glasses. He and fellow staff interpret my insurance coverage very thoroughly, ensuring I receive the best benefit from the coverage. I can't wait to pick up the new glasses in the coming weeks. read more

Highly recommend this place! I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcomed and comfortable. Everyone is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. Enna helped me choose the right frames that not only fit my face perfectly but also matched my style. Enna was very sweet and genuine and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my glasses. I highly recommend to anyone in need of eye care services. It's rare to find such exceptional service and professionalism. Thank you for making my experience so wonderful! read more

Here's a WARNING so that other people don't go through what I did: DO NOT purchase glasses from this shop. The high rating you see is just because of the doctor not for selling glasses. The nice pre-sales behavior you see *will change* once you pay. I ordered an expensive ( more than 600 USD) pair of glasses because the salesperson told me "They can make the lenses very thin. It might break more easily but I can just bring them back and have them replaced (no questions asked)." Good deal, right? So I went with it only to realize that they can just simply lie and that there is no accountability once you pay! It took them TWO MONTHS to get me the pair of glasses I ordered (they said 1 month pre-sales). And what they gave me afterwards is absolute crap, the lenses as thick as it can be. And the office manager said she has never heard of a warranty like the salesperson told me (so that was also another lie to get me to buy). When I talked to their optical manager, she told me "her concern is if I can you see through the lenses". So, I realized that's their only quality standard: If the customer can just see through the lenses they deliver. When I expressed my concern, they continually told me that they will call me back. They had me wait for days for their call only to realize that they have completely ignored me. There is no regulation holding them to their pre-sales word and they are taking advantage of their customers because of that. They basically take your money and give you as much stress as a glasses shop can give someone. This is all I can do at this point: informing other people so that they don't go through the same experience as I did. read more

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Dr K is amazing and the staff there is very friendly. Took the time to understand my needs and ensured the glasses fit to my liking. I would highly recommend! read more

Be very careful when buying glasses from Urban Eyes. I economized by reusing my old frames and still paid $795 for just two plastic lenses, which seemed crazy at the time. I happened to be near Washington Pacific Eye Associates (just down the road) a week later and asked them for a quote. The same progressive lenses with a blue light filter would have cost $295. To add insult to injury, I explained that I needed these glasses mostly for night driving, Urban Eyes staff still recommended a 'blue light filter' (gotta maximize the upsell I guess?). When I drive at night now, I see blue lights everywhere. Checking my insurance Explanation Of Benefits, I see codes indicating that the charges are duplicative of one another. I feel like I was massively overcharged and will not be back. read more

UPDATE: Despite the reply from the doctor to suggest the erroneous prescription may not have been her fault, I am speaking about my experience over a year ago when her practice was directly inside the Redmond Town Center LensCrafters location. The erroneous prescription and subsequent glasses I could not wear were absolutely prescribed by Dr. Kindberg, and what made it worse was that her office did not try to correct the issue. So I have a really expensive pair of glasses I will never wear. Her office could have easily remedied the issue and then there would have been no need to warn anyone else. Original review: I unfortunately did not have a good experience with this doctor when she was at the LensCrafters location. I was talked into reading glasses (though the ones i buy at Fred Meyer work fine) and somehow during the eye exam I was prescribed a different strength for each lens. I knew immediately that there was an issue when I picked up the very expensive glasses, but was told there was nothing the office could do. I've not been able to wear the glasses so it was a big waste of money and I ended up waiting until the calendar year rolled over and my insurance benefits reset to be able to see a different doctor and get a pair that actually have the right prescription. read more

First time going to an eye doctor in 20 years. Staff was extremely accommodating and made the process extremely easy. The reviews have a lot of issues with buying frames and lenses there but my experience was anything but. With one glance around the brands they carry, it's clear that they cater to those wanting to buy designer/higher end frames. As with anything, those are typically much higher from a cost perspective. At no point did I feel pressured to buy frames there. read more

Overall a nice place in a new building. They offer snacks + drinks; it's pleasant and welcoming. Staff were nice and friendly. Exam was quick. Unfortunately this comes at a cost as their glasses are expensive, even WITH insurance. Two pairs of glasses with the usual and the exam was around $800. This includes a 30% discount for the second pair as well. We honestly probably won't be back because of the cost and will look for some place cheaper in the future read more

All new state of the art technology, smart doctors, great support staff, and snacks! Today came with strawberries and champagne! They make getting your eyes checked fun. Highly recommend Dr Yared. read more

No customer service when I picked up my eyeglasses. I was not given a fitting. No fitting or adjustment was offered. Do not recommend.

2023. Spent $1500 for 3 pair. In one pair lenses came 3 times including a screw that holds the frame together. Today, I went there for the 4th time since I purchased my glasses and asked for a refund. Colette at front desk said they don't accept returns. She proposed for me to pay more to get another frame?! I would understand if I would just change my mind but when I spent my time to come in once a month to get a screw in my glasses is ridiculous considering that I spent total $1,900 in the past 4 months with Urban Eyes. On top of 3 pair of glasses I bought eye drops for $400. So not being able to returned defected glasses the cheapest out of all of them is not a high end store. Previous time people at the store were nice but today is the first time I met Colette , the person who should not be working in customer service! read more

Love Urban Eyes! The office is fabulous! Dr. Kindberg is awesome, and her staff is just as wonderful! You're able to select glasses before your appointment on line to save time and narrow it down and store them for your visit on the computer. You have a lot of choices of glasses , and the staff helps make sure you have the perfect fit and style that's right for you. They have cutting edge technology to make your visit as pleasant and easy as possible. I felt very spoiled while I was there - even the coffee was unique and delicious. I've been fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Kindberg's for many years and will continue. She knows her craft very well, and I've always been very pleased with the results of my visits. read more

Look no further. I have worn glasses all my life and this is the best place ever. The selection is wonderful and Susan is outstanding in helping you find the right frame for you. (In fact, the whole office cares!). The lens used is so good I am seeing crystal clear again. Couldn't ask for more. (Oh, and they are local)!!! read more
