Eyeworks of San Mateo [+]

I've been using Eyeworks of San Mateo for a decade this August and have been happy with their service. Dr Gary Lai, OD is my regular optometrist and he's capable and friendly. Dr Sharon Ho, OD, FAAO is the other optometrist and I've had her once when Dr Lai was unavailable and that was fine too.

They have equipment to test your eye in various ways and the usual eye charts and magnifying device to determine your prescription strength. They also sell frames and I'm guessing that's their profit margin so I'm not averse to buying a frame every year even though it costs me $300 or $400+ for a good frame and lenses with all the options.

Nowadays they use Sales Force which sends you texts to confirm appointments and you reply to confirm or change it. On the one hand neat on the other seems so Twentieth Century.

They're also in downtown San Mateo and now 10 minutes walk from my place so that's convenient.
