    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>

    The first lady at the front counter (forgot her name) was very helpful in answering my initial questions and referred us to Sandra to continue assisting us. This visit was for my 91yr old dad in getting new frames from a previous eye exam from another optometry location. My dad has a specific taste in choosing the right design he likes. As we looked around, Sandra came back and was able to present a frame that my dad instantly liked. She may not know it, but getting it right the first time actually tells us that she listened to my dad's concerns, as being heard is more important which goes a long way from our point of view. Ordered the new glasses and looking forward to fitting appt. Overall, a positive experience at the Hillsdale LensCrafters!

    One of the most, if not the best, retail experience we’ve ever had. Each team member we encountered was beyond helpful and kind! Would rate more than 5 stars if possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About LensCrafters

How do I know if my child needs glasses?

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.
