Standard Optometry

This was my first time at Standard Optometry — and was pleasantly surprised with the Speed of Service. Very professional Doctor and Staff.
Doctor patiently answered all my questions and staff was very supportive in helping select everything…

FASTEST service I’ve seen!
I had an emergency trip scheduled for Asia, and needed glasses FAST. (I broke my previous pair and had to put them together with crazy glue — you know the story…) I looked for optometrists around my office and found Standard from Unilocal.
I called them on Monday, made appointment for Tuesday, (they are closed on Wednesday), paid (over a call with my FSA card) on Thursday around noon, and received call Thursday afternoon saying that my glasses are ready for pickup. Wow.
I’ve only just picked up my glasses, so far so good…

Do eye exams in Sunday! Yeah! Saw me on short notice. very detailed. Lots of selection. Nice people. Will be back.

Very friendly and knowledgable. Thorough exam. Good experience and reasonable rates.

Both my friend and I went there to have pair of reading glasses. Both of ours have to re-​do!
Don’t know what, in terms of the process, went wrong, but the focus, degree of lenses were all different for both of our glasses. Very frustrated. Service was not so good, however, the other times went adjusting (because of issues stated earlier), we don’t see those people any more.

SO HELPFUL!
Bit of a random case, but on a business trip here from LA and ended up ripping one of my contacts #fml
After a minor panic attack, I called up Standard Optometry which was a few blocks away and asked what they could do.
Solution: they hooked me up with a trial lens for FREE!
Just had to give a shoutout to this friendly, helpful shop. Definitely deserve your business!

Did eye exam, got contact lens and glasses here. Great!

I LOVE this eye doctor! It is a quick, positive experience every time. I am amazed that Dr. Lo is there nearly 7 days a week, that she makes cupcakes and that she is always happy to answer questions in person or by phone.
The absolute best!

I have used Standard Optometry on several occasions and have been 100% happy with their service and professionalism. On the first occasion, I bought some inexpensive glasses to replace some that I had lost. I was in a big time crunch in between two travel dates and they were able to put lenses in the glasses within 24 hours. On another occasion I bought some high-​end designer glasses and found their pricing to be excellent compared to the competition. My children have enjoyed the cupcakes that they offer (I think on Wednesdays). One of the Optometrists makes them for their customers. I would recommend that you look around, then once you know what you want, go to Standard Optometry and buy from them!

I had a great experience getting my eye exam here. Dr. Lo was very detail oriented and friendly. She were able to adjust the procedure to fit my needs and there was no pressure to spend on unnecessary things.

Standard Optometry has helped my family obtain the best possible vision for years now!
Dr. Lo uses all of the latest technology to give her patients the best possible vision. The office staff are always courteous and efficient. Have your appointment with Dr. Lisa Lo and have a pair of custom frames handmade by her father, Mr. Lo. Great local family business.
Standard Optometry takes most insurance plans and has very reasonable prices for a large variety of brands.
Plus a fridge full of drinks. also cupcakes (sometimes)

this was our first time and we had very specific thoughts. everyone was very accommodating and courteous. We spent 2 – 3 hours in the store and everyone was patient. we went friday afternoon so got no crowds. Highly recommended.

I got my eye contact prescription from here and the people here were very nice and gentle. Prescription was less than $ 100 and that’s why I chose this place. I didn’t get my contacts and glasses from here because it was a tad bit pricey compare to this other store and website I’ve found.

I’ve had plenty of eye doctors in the past and I can say that Dr. Lo is awesome! She’s so patient and answers all your silly questions that you have about your eyeballs! Her staff is friendly and informative about their products as well! I had so much fun trying on glasses without feeling pressured or annoyed by someone trying to sell instead of help! If your looking for an eye doctor I highly recommend coming here and checking them out! Dr. Lo will surely correct your vision along with giving you the best options for your eyes!

Dr. Lisa Lo is the best! She is really thorough, gentle and kindly explained the 1000 questions I asked. All the costumers who were in the office when i came to visit were very grateful to her. Yes, she also makes cupcakes. The best part: she’s open all day saturday and sunday.

Wow, what a great place!
I had dropped my prescription sunglasses in the Berkeley marina after someone borrowed them to fix a sailboat (!?!) and was sick of constantly squinting without my aviators.
Given my budget, I looked up all the deals on Groupon and LivingSocial (etc.) I could find and visited «Site for Sore Eyes» (Terrible service, dirty store, overpriced frames, scammish deal) and «For Eyes» (much better service, clean store, but their groupon has special terms and conditions that make you pay at least $ 80 at a minimum) in Berkeley.
The last place left was Standard Optometry with a Living Social deal that gave me $ 150 worth of credit for $ 20. (Here’s the deal if you’re interested:
— if 3 people buy the deal through this link, I’ll get my deal reimbursed!!)
Biting the bullet, I drove down to south bay to Standard Optometry and I’m so happy I went!
The sales assistant was reallllly patient and extremely helpful. I told her straight from the start that I had a LivingSocial voucher and that I wanted to cheapest pair possible. She found me all of the $ 49 frames and waited as I tried each of them on. They all looked terrible on me and so she and Dr. Lo looked all around the store and suggested that I try the non-​sunglass frames.
The store itself is really well-​lit, well-​stocked, clean, tidy, and there are lots of glasses styles.
There were plenty of great options and even though it was 5:15pm (and they closed at 5pm), the sales assistant was really friendly and laughed a lot with us as I tried on all the cheapie pairs. It was actually difficult to decide because there were quite a few nice looking pairs! (Even though there is a good selection of cheap pairs, there are also quite a few really nice looking designer pairs too…). She never tried a hard sell and was really gracious about finding the most affordable and aesthetically pleasing pair for me.
Dr. Lo came by and suggested helpful tips and also helped us understand the price structure. She was really friendly and understanding of my budget while not sacrificing style!
I paid $ 23 for all this:
$ 49 for frames
$ 99 for single vision lenses
$ 25 for tinting of lenses (to make them sunglasses)
+ taxes
!!!
So, if I didn’t want to get sunglasses but wanted to get prescription glasses, I could have paid $ 20!!!
That folks, is amazing. Okay, but the people here are awesome, so spend as much money as you can in the store.
Also, as we were leaving Dr. Lo asked us if we wanted cupcakes. I’m still thinking about those cupcakes, because they were SO good! Who makes Speculoos flavored cupcakes?! She could totally moonlight as a master cupcaker.
In sum: Go here. Get some new shades or glasses. These people are great.

Dr. Lo is friendly and good optimetrist. She is very detailed and always make sure that her client is getting what is needed from her staffs and her suppliers.
All of their staffs are very friendly and knows their clients by name.
Kind of costly but they do discuss about alternative methods of payment besides insurance options.
Not to forget that Dr. Lo bakes cupcakes for her client on every Saturday.

This is our second year as a return customer. I had great experiences here with Standard Optometry. Dr. Lo is very patient and experienced. I previously got a prescription from the optometry down the street (over priced) in Los Altos which gave me a headache. The prescription Dr. Lo gave me was much better!
Great customer services and my custom ordered glasses is ready in two days! Other places that I’ve been to would take 5 days to a week. The price is also very reasonable. Their business hours are also great! Opens on Saturday and closes late during the weekdays.

I’ve filled my prescription for glasses here for two years now. Dr. Lo is very detail oriented when it comes to your eyes and justly so.
During my first visit she spent a lot of time looking into the back of my retina. When she found that something looked wrong she recommended me to a retinal diagnostic center to make sure I didn’t have retinal detachment.
She asked about bio debris and used all of her tools to check my eyes. When she thought she found the right prescription for me (from the big hand that comes out from the wall) she had me wear these custom glasses that had my particular prescription. In the past my former optometrists never had me do this. I walked around in them and when I felt dizzy she would put different lenses into the glasses until I felt comfortable.
When it came to choosing glasses frames she brought out many pairs for me to try on. I don’t have much of a bridge on my nose so I need frames with nose pads and she had plenty of those. I tend to get more high end frames and her optometry office had many to choose from.
Any who she’s great and she’s fun to talk to. I got my glasses today and she offered me a banana cream cupcake. Come in on Saturdays to try her baked goods! They are yummy! Maybe Dr. Lo should sell cupcakes AND glasses!

Great place to get your eyes checked out. My husband finally needed to get his eyes checked & my dad reminded me of this place. We got an appointment right away & the eye exam was $ 59 without insurance, a great deal! The eye exam was fairly quick & thorough according to the hubs. They have a great variety of frames ranging from $ 49 to $ 300+. We were able to pickup his glasses the next day since they already had the lenses.
The place itself is very clean & well kept with very friendly staff that also speak Mandarin & Cantonese. If you’re looking for an affordable eye exam, check this place out!
