Optometrists in Palo Alto

“My experiences with Dr. Shireen Haghshenas have been very positive. She is very thorough, uses up to date technology, and doesn’t recommend things you don’t need. She communicates clearly and is easy to talk to. Visit price is reasonable.“

“Truly a pleasant shopping experience despite the horrendous customer service and treatment my husband and I received from the San Ramon location. Dominic was polite and friendly. He made the experience smooth and easy. Thanks Dominic!“

“Went to get adjustments to my glasses and the staff were super helpful and gave their undivided attention to get the fit just right. Thanks for making my glasses fit perfectly!“

“Jessica was fantastic! She helped me with a nose pad replacement and helped to tighten the screws. Superb service and customer care.“

“They’re the best!!!!!! Fixed my glasses asap. Super reliable and that’s why i keep going back:)“

“I moved to NorCal and started coming here for my annual eye exams, and I’ve kept coming back ever since.

Dr. Joy Lam is incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about her patients and their long-term eye health. She takes the time to explain what’s actually going on with your eyes instead of rushing you through the appointment, which I really appreciate.

I originally came in for my routine glasses exams (even got some new frames here) and eventually decided to try contacts. Dr. Lam was honestly the best “contact lens coach” I could have asked for. If you’ve ever tried putting contacts in for the first time, you know it can feel like a full sport… but she was patient, encouraging, and made sure I felt confident before I left.

She’s also helped me navigate dry eye issues, which can be frustrating, and I always feel like she’s thinking about the bigger picture rather than just offering quick fixes.

The staff here are also wonderful — kind, welcoming, and just really pleasant to interact with. The whole office has a calm, positive energy that makes the experience easy from start to finish.

You can tell this practice is run with a lot of care. I’m really grateful to have found Dr. Lam and the team here and would absolutely recommend them.“

“5/5 Great service! Perfect lenses, every time! Patient, helpful, prompt service. A great selection of frames in a chill, well-lighted, modern shop.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Cambridge optometry! Dr. Benjamin was incredibly thorough and took the time to explain every part of the eye exam in detail, making me feel comfortable and informed. The office staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, and helped me pick out the perfect pair of frames. The equipment they used felt state-of-the-art. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and professional eye doctor.“

“Staff and Dr. Lee (Adrienne) are very knowledgeable and helpful. I brought in a frame that I had to order directly from the manufacturer. They are arranging to have lenses made. Dr. Lee even rechecked the recent prescription I brought in from my ophthalmologist to make sure that it was still accurate, and she explained what all the numbers meant and why it had changed from my prescription of five years ago. Great service!“

“Lisa is very helpful and professional. She helped me understand my prescriptions, my issue of wearing new glasses bought in another shop last year and gave me guidances to choose glasses frames that could fit me better. Great eye exam experience here that prevents me from worrying about and figuring out where the issue is coming from. I also asked some questions for contact lenses. Lisa is very patient and gave me advices as well. Really appreciated!“

“We drive 45 min from our home to go to Prospectacles. Great selection of frames, sunglasses, and offers eye exams. Dr. Mai is the best, she is helpful and patient centric.“

“A kind person, with a really convenient office location + fast / thorough appointments.“

“Dr. Aung was very patient, attentive, and thorough during my comprehensive eye exam and contact lenses evaluation. Although the front desk reception could be warmer, it doesn't affect the exam quality directly. I'm glad I went, thank you Dr. Aung!“

“Dr. Owyang and Giselle are always professional, friendly, responsible, reliable, and knowledgeable. Our family has been with her for over 5 years, and have been so grateful to have her as our optometrist. We appreciate her thoughtfulness when considering our individual vision issues, and her thoroughness when making recommendations.“
