I’m on my fourth pair of prescription glasses and it has been a while since I was here. When I walked in Laurie recognized me and welcomed me back! Sandra is the lovely manager who was so helpful and a pleasure to work with. Dr Hoe was extremely thorough and took her time with my exam and answer all questions. Great staff!

My mom was 13 min late to her appointment because she needed her walker and they would not fit her in since they have a 10 min grace period. Daniel would not accommodate us in any way. Just really poor response to something we could not help with her legs giving out. Great rule follower but not great customer engagement.

Going to any business/establishment w/ familiar faces makes for a pleasant experience and even better is when they are familiar with you as well. I've had the pleasure to have Melissa work with me on multiple occasions. She's always made sure from the selection of the frames, the best lens, and the proper fit for you is what you will get. I had also been fitted for contacts after my examination w/ Dr. Hoe. It had been quite some time since I had worn contacts so I needed a refresher course and Ricky was very helpful and patient in instructing me to have the lenses placed and removed correctly. The one on one attention you receive from the staff to make sure you have best suitable glasses/lenses for you will definitely make your vision better from when you initially walk in!
Thank you, Lens Crafters at Hillsdale Mall, San Mateo! =0>
Taking your child to an optometrist for an eye exam is the best way to learn if your child needs glasses. Many children who need glasses aren’t aware that they do. Signs of vision problems in children include sitting too close to the television, squinting, sensitivity to light, difficulty with eye-hand coordination, and avoiding visual activities like reading and drawing. To see if your child needs glasses, schedule your child’s eye exam today.
Is a contact lens exam different than an eye exam?
A normal, comprehensive eye exam will allow your optometrist to determine if your eyes are healthy enough to wear contact lenses. During your contact lens fitting, detailed measurements of your eyes will be taken to determine the right contact lenses for you. There is an additional fee for a contact lens fitting and evaluation for all contact lens patients (both new and established patients). Schedule your eye exam today to have all of your questions about contact lenses answered.
What is the difference between an eye exam and a vision screening?
A comprehensive eye exam is administered by an optometrist and can detect not only vision problems but problems with eye health and general health as well. A vision screening is typically performed by a general medical practitioner such as a pediatrician or a nurse. While a vision screening can help identify vision issues, it can miss many important issues that a comprehensive eye exam can identify. This is why everyone is encouraged to get annual eye exams. Schedule your eye exam today!
Why should I get an eye exam?
An annual eye exam involves more than just updating your glasses or contact prescription. A comprehensive eye exam can also detect eye health issues as well as general health problems. Conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure can be detected in early stages through an eye exam, and this can result in early treatment. Schedule your annual eye exam today.
What should I bring to my eye exam?
You should bring your vision insurance and medical insurance information to your eye exam. If you currently wear any prescription lenses, bring your eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses. You should also bring any and all questions you may have. Contact your optometrist if you have specific questions about any additional items you think you may need to bring to your eye exam.
