Dr. Cliff Lee is very professional, and very thorough. He is friendly and warm and will explain about the eye and what he is doing and what he is testing for etc… I would highly recommend. Dr Edna Lee is also very thorough and friendly and really you are in good hands with either doctor.
My family and I all get our eyes checked here. We have been coming here for over a decade and are all very happy with the quality of the care and the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. I always feel welcomed. The staff are all so helpful, whether it’s helping you find the perfect frames, or checking on insurance coverage etc… They are just so nice.
They do have a very nice selection of frames, not cheap but nice.

I never write Unilocal reviews, but the folks at Invision are absolutely lovely! My eye exam was extremely thorough, moreso than any eye doctor I have had in the past. When I reported I was unsure of my blood pressure (I’m 22, okay?), Dr. Edna Lee took the time to test and note it just to be safe. Everyone I spoke with was enthusiastic and ready to help with any issues or concerns and I felt genuinely cared for.

I’ve been going to Invision since 2003. That says a lot about how happy I’ve been with the service there. I always get treated professionally with a bit of fun thrown in. Both doctors Cliff and Edna Lee are charming, extremely knowledgeable, patient and thorough. All the front office staff members are friendly and helpful with no pressure. I can’t recommend this place enough.

This is a spectacular (no pun intended) eyewear shop. If you’re shopping for glasses and are looking for something that is particularly unique and fashionable, this is the place to go. I was pleased that their stylists are extremely capable and will find something that really fits what you’re looking for and fits your face perfectly. If you’re looking at Veo Optics in SF, make sure you go here too since I feel they have a more complete selection.

Dr. Cliff Lee is very thorough and even asked me about my general health. He uses very clean techniques. He is super smart, personable, and funny! He takes time out to explain why he is choosing a certain prescription strength and gives me the pros and cons of different contact lens type (daily vs. monthly).
Metered parking on Fillmore St. is easy. The office is close to Walgreens.
It took a whole month for them to squeeze me in as a new patient. They gave me free contact lens to tie me over during the gap month. Since I signed a release form, his staff had time to request and receive notes from my last optometrist. Dr. Cliff Lee actually read through the past eye history. I really appreciate his friendly, easy going personality!

Watched the staff step up and help someone that came in off the street, non patient, that had a pair of sunglasses that had been purchased elsewhere. She asked if there was anything they could do to help with the fit of the off the shelf sun glasses. They didn’t even question why, but continued with making the glasses fit, and when she offered to pay for the 10 mins of time, they said to just come back when she needed a eye exam. Who wouldn’t want to come to a store with that kind of service. Way to go

Got my new reading glasses here. I really appreciated Beth — she was very patient and accommodating. And she was honest, you need someone to tell you why a pair doesn’t look good. They let me order a different color from a catalogue and didn’t force me to actually buy it.
There was a couple of week wait to get my glasses but perhaps that can’t be avoided. Everything else was really great. Thanks!

As a newcomer to glasses, I was a bit anxious about taking the plunge on my first pair of designer frames. But Lisa at Invision Optometry made it incredibly easy. She helped me pick out about half a dozen choices that ranged from merely cool to ultra-​hip, I settled on a favorite, and then we sat down and worked out a great deal on the price — my new glasses came out to barely more than I paid for my first decidedly un-​hip foray into eyewear, despite their designer pedigree and Invision’s upscale Fillmore location. And I love them! (I got the Zero-​G Titaniums — they are so lightweight, I often forget I’m wearing them!) Anyway, huge thanks to Lisa for her expert guidance!

I recently snapped the bridge on my slightly more than a year old pair of frames while routine lens cleaning. Initially concerned about cost and ability to replace them, I called Invision and received incredibly prompt and helpful service from both Sean (over the phone) and Beth (in store).
The whole ordeal was a bit frantic: I was getting married in just more than a week and lacked an extra pair of frames. My lenses also have a strong prism, so I really shouldnt be able to see. Invision was able to replace my original frames in about a week, and even gave me info on a place to get a temporary fix (that didn’t work, but Invision staff took care of that too!)
Needless to say, I appreciated Beth’s «mom» moment about the extra frames and will definitely be back in for that second set.

I was looking for some great frames for prescription glasses — old ones broke irretrievably.
I had seen other people wearing those very chic round frames in great colors but wasn’t sure they would look OK, tried Warby but not great for me. So walked into Optometry. Lovely young man helped me, and he was wonderful –some I picked out we tried and he nixed –nice but not for you. Then he found some –bright red — I was a bit startled at first but he said absolutely yes. I get lots of compliments, go back for adjustments if they work loose, bought a great looking, not old lady cord to hang them on. Left my card there. Panicked ! went back there the next day and found all the lengths they were going to find me! (They had old phone number.) Great place.
And the frames are so worth the price for me – I get compliments all the time, and I’m no young raving beauty.

Really great eye doctors, extremely knowledgeable at what they do. They will take the time to explain to you patiently about your eyes. I never had an eye doctor so passionate as both the eye doctors at Invision Optometry. The have a great collection of frames and a great staff. The staff is versed with great taste and will help you find a pair of glasses that will not only fit your face but glasses you will love!!! I get compliments on my glasses all the time!

This is the only place I’ll go to have my eyes examined or buy glasses. Drs. Lee are both fantastic and the rest of the staff there couldn’t be nicer. Everyone there has a gift for picking out the perfect frames and I’ve never been disappointed with a visit or any purchase made there. They’re professional, friendly, charming and everything you’d want when it comes to your eyes.

I have been going to Dr. Lee for about 5 years now. I needed a eye doctor when I moved from Orange County. He has a great «chair side «manor and takes the time to answer your questions.
His office staff is great and will make recommendation on the the best frames for you. They use email and text reminders for appointments which are great in this fast paced world.
I have had 2 glasses made at his shop and the prices are reasonable for Pac Heights.
Will be coming back for another pair very soon.

I have been getting my exams from Dr. Lee, and I have been buying frames from Lisa, Frank, Sean, and others. It has been a wonderful experience in every way!
Invision is the best of its kind. There must be other places, but you will be totally delighted and pleased with the experience here. It is tops! This is a superb resource.

Came in needing a new pair of glasses. I told the sales person that I do not have a copy of my most recent eye exam and asked if they would be able to fit the frames I buy with a prescription if I know my prescription. The very sassy man behind the counter said «Uh… No. Are you a doctor? No.»
I walked down the street to the next optometrist with the same inquiry and they offered to call my doctor and check my prescription. Problem solved. Guess who got my business?
This place seems to have a good selection of frames, but they need to train their employees on how to better help their customers and not lose money.
