Would definitely recommend. I wasn't even a previous customer and walked in because I needed my glasses fixed, and they were unbelievably helpful. Will certainly recommend them and become a future customer.

I have been going to Optopia for years. For me, my eye health is a high priority - without it I wouldn't be able to do anything! They use high end diagnostic tools here, so they are a bit more spendy than your in-and-out Medicare optometrists, but for me it is well worth it. You get genuine care here - Kerin and Louie both take the time to read your notes and history, and make sure you're getting the right services and products. They sell high end frames and lenses here - I got Gucci frames for $500. But when you get your tests done right the first time, you don't need another check up for two
