Best of San Francisco Review:

CityOptix is the Best Optometry shop in San Francisco. Superior international selection of designer (Museum of Modern Art+Rock & Roll+Classical-Pop+Marilyn Monroe"get an attitude") frames. Efficient service (right there when you need it, but let you browse comfortably) & antique frames to choose from. The owners of these neighborhood stores (Chestnut Street Shopping & Haight Ashbury) have a European sensibility that is exactly what is missing in so many other venues. This is why they have been successful year after year. Others have tried to copy their model, but were never able to put cake with the frosting. Selling designer frames is not enough. You have to really know how to stay on the cutting edge, have a great script and stay consistent. If you're seeking glasses frames that make a statement, experienced eye examination, excellent lenses, CityOptix is the only place to go in San Francisco. Here is a real tip, send them your email/mailing address to be invited to a private Spring sale they have every year. True Sale! up to 80% off some really expensive frames. If your on the mailing list, you get notified weeks ahead of the "open to the public" days. Last year, we purchased sterling silver, handmade Japanese designer frames and silver half-lenses from France for a fraction of their cost. By the time the public gets there, those of us on their mailing list have already purchased the best frames. Really.
