Eyes on James Optical Shop
Ninth & Jefferson Building, 908 Jefferson St,
Seattle, WA

Exam itself was excellent, they werethorough and took layered imaging of my eye to check on a strange spot that obstructs my vision a tad. (I have astigmatism and the spot turned out to be a "freckle" deep inside my right eye, according to the doctor.) The issue i have is with the providers of the lenses. My glasses cost over $200, which is outrageous enough as is, but what ever they cover the lenses with is cheap because it dissolves over the years to the point of the glasses being completely unuseable. The film they put on my lenses makes it look like my lenses are consdantly foggy or smudged and it has progressively gotten so bad that I now can not see out if the glasses at all. It looks like it maybe has dried and shunk to where it cracked and looks almost like skin and pieces of something sticky-looking, but nothing is there, as I would clean my glasses daily. Photo included. I have never had this happen to glasses before and I have been through quite a few pairs as I have to get a new prescription every couple years. For the price, how cheaply made they are, plus needing a regular update on lenses, this place is not worth your $$$ for lenses. - Can literally see better without these now.

I try to be a UW clinic loyalist and to not just shop online but these folks are making it hard! Optometrist Truong is very high caliber and thorough. Receptionist is a mask tyrant in 2023 even if mask is slightly below the nose to defog glasses while the lobby is empty and staff is on the opposite side of the building in a large lobby. Staffer who sells glasses is helpful but needs to be trained to read basic info (PD) from patient's records so I can order online and not pay their outrageous prices again!!

This place doesn’t take insurance. The dr was not friendly and I felt I was an inconvenience. Don’t go
