My cool Masunaga frames!
Long K.

Update: I've been coming here for a while now and watched this clinic grow significantly. Dr. Lee always provides great care and each visit is incredibly stress-free every time. The office layout is simple and appealing, but more importantly clean especially during these COVID times. The office always stays up to date with their trendy glasses selection too. I'm a creature of habit so I keep coming back for their Masunaga frames because they're so lightweight, but sturdy. The frame quality is far superior (duh it's Japanese made), and literally I haven't needed my frames to be adjusted from the constant wear and tear use since receiving them day one. For the busy working individual, they have a really easy online scheduling system which makes it convenient too. Keep up the great work and care Urban Optix!

How long does it take to receive my glasses?

Greetings! Normal delivery is within two weeks after we send your order to our lab.

Do you carry Zeiss and Rodenstock progressive lens? Thank you...

Yes! We are able to order Zeiss lenses. However, they are not approved by some insurance providers. Unfortunately, we are unable to obtain Rodenstock lenses. We also really like Shamir progressive lenses.

Hello, do you offer retina screening? Thank you...

Absolutely!

Do you carry Gucci frames for women?

Thank you for reaching out!! Yes! We are actually in the process of bringing Gucci in. We most likely will have them in stock within a few weeks!

Hello! Do you carry kid/youth frames? And do you take VSP? Thank you.

Hello Yen!! We do carry kids frames. Our selection we have in stock maybe on the smaller side, but we can also order different sizes or colors in. Typically children 8 and above wear smaller sized adult frames to allow for growth. If you like a… Read more

I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Gaganjot Sidhu for an annual eye exam and contacts. The entire…read moretime I was doing the exam, she kept scoffing at the things I would say. Her whole demeanor was off putting. When I told her I use monthly contacts, she looked at me weird and said "I mean, if you want to keep doing monthly's with the bacteria buildup by all means" like dang my bad I've only ever used monthly's. The staff was nice tho. Overall, I will not be coming back and I highly recommend you don't either!! There are much better eyes doctors in cap hill that will actually treat you professionally and make you feel welcomed.

Not friendly, huge ego, can't take criticism. If you want the most expensive eye doctor in town…read morethis is the place. (Also rejects nearly every insurance especially those most likely to be held by the disabled or elderly and their dependents) My ears are still ringing from the anti-disability dog whistles. (It's called income source discrimination and it's a real thing companies do to make disabled individuals feel unwelcome without obviously breaking anti-discrimination laws) They get so annoyed and dodgy about insurance questions that I get the impression they wouldn't accept any insurance at all if it would guarantee they'd keep the poors out. Brett likes to claim he doesn't accept some insurance because of "the evil luxoticca monopoly". However, he doesn't accept VSP attached to children's Medicaid plans, so that's a dishonest excuse used to bury/obscure the dog whistle. Furthermore, they can't take criticism AT ALL. A quick glance at the combative responses from the owner to negative reviews on google can confirm this to anyone paying attention (but there's not many negative reviews there because including mine he somehow masks/suppresses them) I suggest Vision Plus of Ballard that accepts VSP associated with both Medicare Advantage plans for the disabled and Medicaid for the dependents of the disabled.

Great selection of frames and wonderful folks working in Optical. Every interaction is kind as well…read moreas professional. Very comfortable space

Well, this is a first for me. Did I come on to Yelp just to share my incredible experience with…read morethis practice? Sure did. When I moved to Seattle, a friend recommended another large opthalmology practice. Scheduling required weeks of advance planning; in-person waits were long; while my doctor was lovely, the contact lens fitters constantly rotated into the practice and so there was feeling of never getting to know someone. It was... fine, I guess? When this same office moved to requiring separate days for the contact lens fitting and the annual check-up, it was the catalyst I needed to search for an alternative. Two friends happen to see Dr. Lo at Eye Clinics QA. I seamlessly transferred my records and easily made an appointment. The first time I visited the clinic, my exams went quickly and smoothly. Dr. Lo listened to my very nuanced concerns, had me try out a newly-tweaked prescription, and it made all the difference in the world. My second annual appointment with him this year was no different (only it was moved to the Ballard location, as this one is still being renovated!) I cannot recommend this office, this doctor, and this experience enough. My only regret is not finding them sooner. Thank you Dr. Lo and team!

Staff showed me relevant frame options (narrow, low bridge) and I tried on several pairs quickly. Walked out with a new pair, paid with FSA, within 15 minutes of walking in. Beyond impressed with visit 1. Uploaded my prescription online, which was reviewed and processed by Warby within a day. This location does not offer eye exams, but Bellevue Square and Lynnwood do. Frames arrived extremely quickly - shipped within 4 business days! Packaging & unboxing experience was excellent. Stopped in today to get frames adjusted, which took less than 5 minutes - excellent 2nd visit. This honestly blew away my expectations as a first-time Warby customer (was scared of the lines/waiting experience at the University Village location) - kudos to the Cap Hill team for crushing it!
