History

Established in 1981.

For Your Eyes Only Optometry has been serving the Castro since 1981. It was founded by Dr. Kenneth Agues. Dr. Agues loved his work, but along with his life partner and office manager Ed, he contracted AIDS. While looking for a successor, he met Dr. Kathleen Kennedy. They had similar philosophies and approaches to patient care. Both believed in the importance of thorough care and a patient-​centered office. Dr. Agues sold the practice in 1990 to Dr. Kennedy and she has felt very fortunate for the opportunity to provide eyecare in the most fun neighborhood with the nicest patients in town ever since.
