Bernie’s Optical

This non-​franchise optical center is so small and personal, that I worry sometimes it will be pushed out of business by the big guys.
I have been a patient and optical client of their for over 20 years, since moving to this area. I can’t count the times they’ve gone out of their way to help me – usually in providing me with sample contact lenses to cover me for a vacation trip or other emergency when my lenses either haven’t come in yet or more often, when I’ve been remiss in ordering a new batch.
They have never once said no to me, and several times bent over backwards to find what I need — even though they got not a penny from these transactions. This happened again today! I did make my appointment for my overdue eye test for next week, but … I found myself in desperate need of a right lens. I’m picking it up tomorrow. BERNIE’S IS THE BEST!
Though there is only one other review (that is what prompted me to submit one) — they are an absolute fixture in downtown Renton — since the late 1950s I believe. I know they must have a lot of loyal longtime customers or they wouldn’t be able to stay alive. This gives me hope they will still be there when I need them.

In an effort to keep business local I found this little optometrist shop in downtown Renton. All I can say is what a great place. They were ready for me early, made everything very simple, had a nice selection of glasses and could not have been more friendly. I can SEE myself going there again. Get the pun??? Seriously though, great place!
