Testimonials

What Our Customers Say

Real reviews from Pacific Beach locals

I can’t recommend Dr. Kim and Jennie enough. I needed to get new glasses after my eyes started to regress from lasik. The eye exam was thorough, but quick. Jennie was so helpful and patient while I picked out a pair of frames. She has a great sense for what will look great on you. My next trip in will be for some new contact lenses.

Hannah Petro

San Diego Optical and Optometry is fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a really smooth experience from start to finish. Same-day exams, a great selection of frames, and honest guidance without any pressure. It’s clear they truly care about their patients. Highly recommend if you’re in Pacific Beach or the surrounding area.

Solana Beach

I had a great experience at San Diego Optical and Optometry. The team was welcoming, professional, and very knowledgeable. They offered same-day exams, took the time to explain everything clearly, and helped me find frames that actually fit my style and budget.
