Dan's Optical - Shasta Lake, California

Dan is awsome, but he really needs to hire some real professional employees. Equipments are updated but still old school stuff from the 80s. I feel service is unprofessional and poor. Won't be coming back here.

I was seen a little over a month ago and I have not been able to shake the terrible experience I was provided. A few of my favorite things he said to me:
“Why are you here you don’t need glasses, have you been prescribed glasses before?”
-I’ve had glasses since I was 12.
“You’re just trying to save a penny”
-because I was trying to stay within my optical coverage.
“There’s no cyst in your eye. There’s no such thing”
“If there was a cyst in your eye they would tell you what kind it is. You should just go back to riverside eye care then”
- oh I will be.
“You’re going to tell people I’m a quack and I do not appreciate that young lady”
-I never said anything like that. I simply asked him questions about my eyesight.

Do yourself a favor and skip this optometrist, go see Dr. Sumsion, an Opthemologist at riverside eye care. You will not regret it.

I chose to use Dan's Optical because I wanted to support local business. I paid over 600 dollars for a single pair of glasses and they were supposed to be ready 2 days ago and they have the absolute worst client service imaginable. I won't be using them again.

Went in today with a pair of reading glasses which needed some repair, glasses that I had bought elsewhere. They fixed it quickly and cheerfully, and when I asked how much I owed them, I was told "no charge." Great service! People who know how to please a potential new client instead of squeezing every last drop. Highly recommended.

Was really impressed with Dan's Optical. Friendly very attentive owner, who obviously takes pride in making sure the customer is taken care of. Even offered to repair glasses that I didn't purchase there (An older pair that was falling apart). I felt an almost old fashioned sense of pride in this optical shop and it was very refreshing. Cost wise it was very competitive especially since I needed the glasses done on the fly. I had new glasses in under 24 hours without any additional charge. Overall I highly recommend considering them for your optical needs.

I met Dan some years ago but only needed his experience with glasses this year. I had an accident 2 years ago chopping a piece of wood which resulted in a severe retinal detachment. Fortunetly it was able to be repaired. However, the damage was that I eventually can see about 40 percent of what I had. So off to Dan's optical. I picked out frames and we discussed prescription sunglasses. Because of my prescription my available selection of frames was limited and my preference was to go for the darkest lens. However Dan suggested I consider a driving lens which I ultimately selected. It has been fantastic!! I can see again with both eyes and can drive again with confidence. Dan and his staff are wonderful and their expertise is well evident. Prices are very and quality is outstanding. I recommend Dan's optical 100 percent.

WOW! All I have to say is if you want quality and care with your glasses, this is the place to go. I've worked in Ophthalmology for 6 years and Dan and Denise know what they are doing! My glasses I had done previously at a place here in redding that didnt know they were doing, they ended up having to redo my glasses 4 times but still couldnt get it right.... I took them to Dan In a last effort in hopes he could help me!! And he did, I have not seen this well in a long time! My glasses fit me like a glove and I can read things I have never read from this distance before! Long post but well worth going to Dan's Optical! You won't be disappointed.

-thank you guys!

Over the years Dan's optical has given me excellent service. When I buy my glasses, they give me the best recommendations based on my budget. When my glasses need a repair they have been kind enough to fix them. When my glasses were beyond repair and well beyond their expiration/guarantee point Dan's has recommended people in town who could help repair my glasses. In addition to this Dan and his crew go out of their way to help the homeless every year at a huge annual homeless convention. Dan's optical is A++ in my book and I will continue to support them.
