I was able to get a last minute appointment. The staff was very nice. The doctor did a thorough examination of my eyes. She listened to my concerns and had time to answer my questions. There was a large selection of frames. I would recommend this optometry.

I've been seeing Dr. Yuen for years. She and everyone in her practice is very pleasant, professional and kind. It's a nice environment, and they go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. I recommend them highly!

I was in a pinch.... I tried to support my local optometrist in Laurel and unfortunately the lab broke my favorite frames. I had to scramble around Oakland trying to find something suitable and Grand Lakes was the only place with the frames I wanted to try and purchase if I liked them. But nooooo we can't let you look at those frames 4ft behind me until next Tuesday! So sad I could have had those Tom Ford but had to settle for some cheap a** Prodesign frames until next year. Next time I'm making the trip back into SF to Through The Hayes for my checkup and frames.

Dr. Neda took her time and helped come up a really helpful and creative solution to a vision issue specific to my line of work. Best experience I've had with an Optometrist!

Staff were friendly initially, but they gave me the wrong prescription glasses that was way too strong and giving me almost double vision. This was after I had dropped $300 to have all of the special coatings. I called to let them know that it was the wrong lens and I couldn't use them and the woman argued with me that they couldn't have made a mistake and refused to fix it. So now I'm out that money and I can't use my insurance to get another pair. I ultimately had to go somewhere else and get ANOTHER pair. Save yourself the money, because that's all they care about here

They messed up my prescription glasses and when I called to let them know they weren't comfortable (blurs my vision) the woman doubled down and refused to listen. Waste of $300 after upgrading the lens with all the features. They only care about money. Save yourself and go somewhere else.
Edit: In response to the business reply, I'm not sure what else I can do to address my concerns beyond calling twice and being told to just get used to blurred vision. Maybe you should take customers more seriously when they tell you that you've made a mistake.
Edit 2: I visited another optometrist and showed
