Why Where You Get Your Eye Care Matters

Book Online

In San Francisco, quality, design, and efficiency aren’t extras—they’re expectations. Your eye care should reflect that.

For more than 20 years, our privately owned optometry practice has focused on delivering precise, personalized, and medically thorough eye care—not volume-driven visits. Here’s what that difference means for your vision.

Experience You Can Trust—For Over Two Decades

With over 20 years of continuous practice, we’ve seen how subtle changes in vision and eye health can evolve over time. We’ve also seen how evolving technology enables earlier detection of disease. That long-term perspective allows us to:

  • Track changes year over year
  • Catch early signs of eye disease
  • Provide thoughtful, proactive recommendations

For our patients, that experience translates into confidence, continuity, and better outcomes.

Advanced Technology for Comprehensive Eye Health

A truly thorough eye exam goes far beyond checking your prescription.

We utilize advanced diagnostic technology, including Visual Field Testing and OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography), to evaluate both the structure and function of your eyes. These tools help us:

  • Detect optic nerve and retinal disease earlier
  • Monitor subtle changes in the eye
  • Provide a more complete medical assessment of eye health

This level of technology allows for exams that are not only precise—but medically meaningful.

An In-House Optical Lab: Precision You Can Feel

Our on-site optical lab allows us to oversee every step of the process:

  • Faster turnaround times
  • Greater accuracy and quality control
  • Immediate adjustments for fit and comfort

For complex prescriptions, progressives, or long screen hours, this level of service translates to eyewear that simply works better.

Care That’s Personal—Not Standardized

We take the time to understand how you actually use your eyes:

  • Your work and screen demands
  • Lifestyle, commute, and daily routines
  • Hobbies, extracurricular activities, and sports

You’ll see familiar doctors and opticians who know your history. That continuity leads to smarter recommendations and better outcomes.

Lens Materials Chosen for Performance

Rather than defaulting to mass-market solutions, we select premium lens materials based on your specific needs, including:

  • Digital eye strain
  • Dry eye symptoms
  • Progressive and specialty prescriptions

The result is clearer vision, greater comfort, and lenses that perform throughout the day.

A Curated Frame Collection

Our frames are intentionally selected for:

  • Craftsmanship and durability
  • Thoughtful design and fit
  • Independent and premium manufacturers

You’ll find distinctive styles—chosen for how they wear, not for how many units they sell.

Independent Care for Patients Who Expect More

Private practice eye care offers:

  • Higher-quality eyewear
  • Greater attention to detail
  • Thoughtful, individualized recommendations

For patients who value performance, aesthetics, and long-term eye health, independent care delivers better results.
