I had an unusually difficult problem with a pair of computer/reading glasses that several mail-order optical companies had been unable to solve. I had an older pair that worked perfectly, but despite ordering multiple replacements with what was supposedly the exact same prescription and pupillary distance, none of the new glasses felt right and all caused significant eye strain. Sam at Vision Optic took the problem seriously from the beginning. Rather than simply checking the prescription in a lensometer, he spent a considerable amount of time with me carefully examining my old glasses, taking detailed measurements, and figuring out exactly what made that particular pair work so well for me. He then used those measurements to recreate them as closely as possible. The result was essentially an exact copy of my old glasses, and the new pair is just as comfortable. After struggling with this for quite some time and having multiple pairs made elsewhere that didn't work, the difference in the level of attention and expertise was remarkable. I really appreciate the amount of time Sam spent making sure everything was right. If you have a complicated prescription or have had difficulty getting glasses that feel correct despite supposedly being made to the right specifications, I would highly recommend Vision Optic and Sam in particular. read more

Best experience I've had at an eye doctor before. Dr. Rakowasky does a great job not only performing the exam, but explaining each step along the way. I have never felt more educated! read more

I have horrific vision with an extremely high prescription (-11 in both eyes). For decades I have struggled with finding good glasses and had pretty much accepted that I would never find a pair that made me look like I was wearing magnifying glasses. Vision Optic was a game changer. They did an exceptional job with my frames and lenses despite my high prescription. The lens were the thinnest I've ever seen for my high prescription. And I have easily gone though 15 different glasses in my lifetime. Highly recommend this place. read more

Sam and Jeff are very knowledgeable about everything glasses!! Was treated with the upmost respect!! Quick turnaround for glasses to be done and ready!! I recommend this place to anyone and everyone who's looking for new glasses and/or contact lenses!! read more

Vision Optic - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Kind and helpful people. My first time buying contacts from here and it was lightening fast. I appreciate the fast and friendly office as I have been struggling to find one. Highly recommend! read more

My family followed Dr. Rakowsky to this Scottsdale location, from East Mesa, a now 45 minute drive. Why? Because Dr. Rakowsky is the only doctor I have had to finely tune my eye prescription. He has many years of practice and does not rely solely on machines to determine your sight needs. He has recently helped me with double vision in fact. His new partner Sam Basari is a great fit too. Sam is easy to work with with a no pressure personality. The shop also has a great selection of nice frames and they carry contact lenses that actually fit without slipping off center. I am writing this review to help others who need to find a place they can trust to put their sight first. We pass many, many optical practices on the way to see Dr. Rakowsky and Sam so I hope that if you are less than pleased with your provider, that you will call them. They accept several eye care plans...mine is eye med and it costs $10 for and eye exam! read more

I visited Vision Optic, looking for glasses for my mother in Scotland, who had recently had a Stroke, which had caused loss of her side vision. I tried numerous opticians in Scottsdale Arizona, looking for help. They all said there was nothing they could do. Until I went to Sam at Optic Vision. I had checked out SVAG, side vision awareness glasses and he said he could help me. We picked out frames, Sam had my mother's prescription, he checked in London with his correspondent and said Yes, this will help. My mother was so excited and happy, that this might change her life, which it did! My mother has had her glasses for 2 weeks now. Sam boxed them and we got them shipped to Scotland. I CANNOT rate Sam highly enough for all his help and changing my mother's life. I would extremely recommend Vision Optic. read more

I was in need of a new pair of prescription glasses and knowing how much it could cost, I decided to check Groupon offers. There were a few elements that made me choose Vision Optic. First, it was conveniently close to me and the second was so many wonderful reviews. It was enough for me to give that place a try. My overall experience was pretty amazing and I am confident that it will become a long term commitment for me. It is not about the professionalism or knowledge that I am looking for in a person. These are skills just anyone can learn. For me, the most important quality a person can have is being a human and their ability to connect with others. I am a professional emotional intelligence coach and those are things I pay a lot of attention to. We tend to forget, especially in the work environment that the person we are talking to is another soul. For us it is just about the numbers, the goals met and the sale we need to make. There are two different ways of doing business. One of them is to have fun, love the people you work with, and truly be of service and grow together with them over the course of your life. The second way is to get shit done the right way, do it fast, get peoples' money, and extract the most out of them in order to make your business grow financially. It's really old school kinda way. Sam knows the secret. Thank you Vision Optic, it was a pleasure working with you. My glasses came out beautiful as well. I even think I look better with them then without.. :) read more

Had an excellent eye exam from the optometrist, Dr Jeffrey Rakowsky but after that the problem began. I identified glass frames with the manager and he proceeded that the cost would be $651 for the progressive lenses and frame. The order was placed but the site that does the work was already closed when the order was placed. I called back within in hour or so to cancel the order as I identified multiple other optical stores with substantially less cost. The Vision Optic manager said he would refund the money and only charge for the eye exam. When I went back for the refund he said there was a $50 charge for placing the order even though no work had been started. This surcharge is not appropriate and future customers should be cautious. read more

Fantastic customer service! Highly recommend you will not be disappointed! Doctor is fantastic and very experienced!

We were in desperate need of getting my husband's glasses fixed after our dog chewed them up! We just needed the lenses replaced and we were in and out in less than 20 minutes! Excellent customer service! read more

This is small shop managed by Sam Basiri and vision checks/tests are with Dr. Rakowsky. I got my eye exam here, and was very impressed with how much personal time the doctor took with me. The service was very professional and they focus on you as an individual. When it came time to get my frame and lenses, my insurance didn't cover the frame and lenses well at this shop so I got progressives from Visionworks on Mayo. The progressives from Visionworks had a number of issues and no one in the Visionworks shop could help... mostly I got shoulder shrugs and offers for a refund. I went back to Vision Optic and Sam spent quite a bit of extra time w/me and Dr. Rakowsky to help work out a single vision prescription. The level of service and results were well worth me not using my in-network benefit. This place is dedicated to its customers and I will return with my family members. read more

I'm in town for a girls weekend and had a tear in my contact and contracted Vision Optic. The owner instantly helped me get a new contact without hesitation. He was so accommodating and super nice. If I lived here-he would be my #1. Thank you for saving my weekend (and eye). read more

He gave me his honest opinion and worked with me to find the right pair of glasses with in my budget. I would absolutely recommend you try this shop before heading to a big box retailer. BTW I ended up buying 2 pairs read more

Very convenient all around. The owner Sam is very friendly and the doctor on staff is equally pleasant. I felt like I received the most thorough eye exam in a decade. The doctor takes the time to understand your personal situation, compared to many eye doctors in the past I have visited who try and get you in and out as fast as possible. They also put me into a less expensive and better quality pair of contacts after I have been overpaying for years through another clinic. The office is easy to find and there is convenient parking. They take appointments on Saturdays as well which was a huge help due to my busy work schedule. There was not a huge selection of frames, but I was told that within 3 months the facility should be fully stocked with a lot of updated options. read more

Fantastic experience at Vision Optic. My dog destroyed my glasses, I went in and received prompt, very knowledgeable, and friendly service. Great selection of frames and they are all very reasonably priced. They even tried fixing my beyond repair glasses so I'd have a backup if needed. My new glasses came in quickly and I couldn't be happier with them. I would definitely recommend. read more
