Aperture Optix Optometric - Oakland, California

I cannot speak highly enough of the team at Aperture Optix! The frame collection is so unique, and their knowledge is unmatched. I bought a pair of sunglasses that I absolutely loved. They were patient in adjusting them perfectly to my uneven ears, and when I lost these beloved frames they ordered me another pair. When the frames arrived, I went in for another extended adjustment session. We drank tea and had a nice chat. I look forward to my next visit!

Aperture is hands-down the best glasses shop / optician I've ever been to. The experience of picking out new frames is fantastic -- they have *thousands* of frames and did an amazing job of finding me really unique, stylish frames. To be honest, I wound up with frames that are quite different from what I expected to like, and couldn't be happier!

The experience was so much fun that we went back a couple weeks later so my wife could get new frames too!

The folks there are absolutely wonderful - every time I'm in Temescal I stop in to say hi, and it's always a delight.

I can't recommend them highly enough. I'll be back as soon as I can justify more glasses!

I had an amazing experience at this boutique. The frames here are as unique as the store itself - definitely not the cookie-cutter options you’d find at chain eyewear stores. My glasses feel truly one of a kind. The personalized fitting was top-notch, and the whole space is just a vibe. From the decor and furniture to the overall energy, it’s clear a lot of thought went into creating a welcoming atmosphere. Rhonda was super helpful, and my wife says Surinder is the GOAT - she’s absolutely right. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re looking for something special.

Loved the entire process of getting my new glasses. Surinder gives you such a unique experience and carries such beautiful frames. I don’t like to buy lenses in the US bc my prescription is so strong-my eyes get super magnified. It was no problem for Surinder to get the lenses I wanted. Rhonda was also wonderful to coordinate with and visit with at Aperture. I recommend them to everyone looking for new glasses!

I’m very happy with the professionalism and dedication of the Aperture Optix team. My eyewear is truly and absolutely beautiful. I receive many compliments. Also, the optics of the lenses are amazing. I can see perfectly! No problems at all with adapting to the progressive lenses. They are very high quality frames & lenses. The best! Rhonda and Surinder were top notch in their care and attitude in assisting me with my important purchase. I also enjoy the atmosphere of Aperture. Very inviting, relaxing, unique setting, and no pressure. Stop in, enjoy a cup of tea, and select lovely new eyewear for yourself- bring a friend and/or family. They will also be impressed! Check out their Instagram page as well.

I had a really wonderful experience with Elizabeth here. I had been having a hard time finding glasses because I have a narrow face... and am very picky 🙂 I chatted with Elizabeth and she pulled out her rolling drawers full of glasses. She observed the color palette of my clothing, asked me about my profession, and pulled out the perfect pair. She showed me many different options to make sure I was sure — there were so many amazing frames! Local designers, international brands. It ruined me for any other glasses shop. Such a cool experience!

I love the original and unique frames and the personalized service of Aperture Optix. It's so laid back and chill in their space. I'm new to needing corrective lenses and they've helped me get right prescription and have unique and expressive frames to match my style. And lure me in for a few regular sunglasses that get compliments everywhere i go!

Love this place. Surinder has great eyewear taste and is a low-pressure but highly helpful salesperson. I just bought a pair of frams that were Hannah's very first suggestion. She saw me try on one pair of glasses then brought the ones I bought over. I usually go to a eyewear shop and I'm lucky to find one pair I like. I struggled to choose between 3! Had I the budget, I would've gotten them all. Also, they were able to get me a vision test right away, and Surinder even brought me over there! Five stars all the way. Great service and kind, friendly, sincere people. No hard sales.
