Edmonds Vision Center

I have been coming here since I was a kid and always had a fantastic experience with both Dr. Wong as well as his with Dr. Solum. Their new location is beautiful but the parking can be a bit of a pain depending on the day/​time you’re there. For most exams they are booked out for months but it is worth the wait. Their opticians are also super helpful when it comes to picking out frame and are always honest. They even let me opt out of one of their newer technologies when it comes to the exam and go old school because that puff of air in the eye is awful! All around all of their staff is super kind and helpful with everything from annoying insurance stuff to the actual exam and deciding on contacts and glasses. Even though I now live over an hour away I will still be an Edmonds Vision Center patient!

I just moved back to Edmonds after 5 years in New York. I found my new employer’s vision insurance wasn’t accepted at my old vision center, so I checked out Unilocal reviews and found Edmonds vision Center. Not only did it have high marks, but it is within walking distance of my house! I did have to wait quite a long time for an appointment, but that was the only negative mark. The receptionist is very nice, the technician who did all of the preliminary interviewing and testing was fantastic and the doctor was very insightful and helped me work through some options on my vision correction. I walked out very satisfied and ended up buying a year’s supply of contacts… and will most likely go back to get some new glasses later.

I’ve lived in the Seattle area since 1965, and have been to a number of Eye specialists. Since I moved to Edmonds 10 years ago we have relied on the Dr’s and support staff at Edmonds Vision Center and they have provided excellent care. Very professional and very personable.

I’ve gone here since 2011 and have always had good experiences with everyone I’ve encountered working here. They are really helpful and personable and make the extra effort to work with a semi-​difficult client like myself. (I am kind of extra sensitive to visual changes or the way things feel on my face).

My family and I have been going to Dr. Wong and Dr. Solum since we moved to Edmonds 14 years ago. They are excellent doctors and great people. They are thorough and take the time to explain treatment options. Dr. Wong also helped my husband’s mother from the Ivory Coast obtain charitable cataract surgery that restored her sight so she could remain in her home for the last years of her life. They really care about their patients!

Very helpful and professional. Good hours for appointments.

I saw Dr. Wong this week and he took the time to listen to my questions and concerns. He explained the results of the examination as he performed each test. I don’t like the feeling of being rushed through a medical exam so I was so glad that this was the complete opposite experience. My first visit — I’ll definitely be back!

I got an examination from Dr. Solum. My previous prescription from another doctor wasn’t very good. What Dr. Solum gave me was great! I must say that Dr. Solum has to be the happiest person on the planet. What a pleasure! I’d recommend her at the drop of a hat. EVC is the best!

Dr. Wong is amazing. He is so nice and friendly and actually funny sometimes too. He always listens and pays attention to what I say. I never wait longer than 2 mins and they have a vast selection of eyewear. I don’t live in the area but I still drive down to see Dr. Wong. He is the best!

Maybe it was just an off day, but I found Dr. Wong to be a little bit pushy. He didn’t listen to me when I tried to correct a miscommunication regarding my previous prescriptions. He kept trying to push the daily contacts for me, even though I told him I wasn’t comfortable with the price. He tried to prove that it’s not a big price jump to switch to daily contacts, but his explanation doesn’t hold water if you research contact prices online. I just came away from that appointment feeling a little irritated, so I found another optometrist that I like much better.

I stopped by the Edmonds Vision Center to get my glasses adjusted. I had gone elsewhere a month before, and somehow they just kept slipping down my nose. The service was prompt and friendly here, and best of all, they fixed up my glasses for me on the spot. Much appreciated.

These guys suck. The didn’t call and failed to fill my prescription for two weeks. And then didn’t offer to rush or anything. Didn’t even say sorry. Had a total stuck up attitude. Avoid. (And, btw, most of the posiitives for this place are from PR firms, probably.)

Attentive & caring apology received from Dr. Wong. He truly cares about his patients experience and was fast to clear up the issue. His attention to customers needs is much appreciated.

Dr. Wong and his staff are excellent. My whole family come to this clinic for check-​ups and eyeglasses and receive stellar information and service consistently. The Dr. is always personable, patient, and informative.
I recommend this clinic without reservation.

I’ve been going to Edmonds Vision Center for 4 years. I’ve now have been seen by both Dr. Wong and Dr. Solum. I have to say I’m so glad I found this place. Both doctors are so friendly and knowledgeable. Their front desk staff are always professional and friendly. I’ve purchased both glasses and contacts through EVC and have had easy and pleasant experiences. Judging by the amount of positive reviews, I’m not the only one that thinks this place is great!

I’ve had a bad experience with buying glasses the other month and was very unsure of where to go and cautious about who I pay money to. I’ve Unilocaled many places and checked them out but did not feel comfortable ordering glasses until I came to this place! The staff was very friendly and the optician was the one who came out and helped me pick some frames that would fit my face. I showed him a couple frames I was looking at and he steered me in the right direction. It was a bit pricey due to my crappy insurance. Ordered my glasses and picked them up today! It took about a week to come in and I can actually see out of these lenses clearly (unlike the other place I went) and I’m very happy with this business! I would highly recommended them to anyone looking for a good optical shop! Next time I need a new prescription I will be going to see their optician also! :)

I went here based on the Unilocal reviews and what I saw on their website. This was such a pleasant trip to the eye doctor and I have been going to different doctors for more than a decade. I had Dr. Wong for my appointment and he was extremely pleasant and thorough. I had such a great time that I scheduled my wife for an appointment in the new year.
I came on a Saturday after my appointment to look at glasses to go with my new prescription and the optical staff is very friendly and helpful. I never felt pushed toward any frame brand or style. After about 30 minutes I had my new pair of frames and lens picked out and was out the door and on with my day. They have a very wide selection of frames in all price ranges and styles. I’ll be recommending them to all my friends and co-​workers that wear glasses.

I found Edmonds Vision Center through its positive Unilocal reviews and it’s in my insurance network, so I decided to try it out.
My husband’s first appointment was on a Saturday and one of the machines was not working properly, so we were delayed quite a bit (45 mins) in getting in to see the doctor, so we also left quite a bit later than expected. However, the staff was very apologetic and even offered Tully’s gift cards for the inconvenience.
My first appointment, also on a Saturday, was delayed as well because another patient took a walk-​in appointment with an urgent need. But this delay was much shorter than the first (15 mins).
Dr. Wong is very attentive and explains his recommendations thoroughly. He was patient with me as I sought a new contact lens brand and had me try a number of options until we found just the right fit. I was given three different pairs of trial lenses and follow-​up appointments to check the fit were quick and free.
The staff is knowledgeable about insurance coverage, scheduling appointments is a breeze and everyone is friendly. Also, I really value the Saturday appointment options as well as office hours late during the week (after work). Also, the contact lens prices quoted by EVC were competitive to 1−800-Contacts.
The new facility is really nice, clean and located in downtown Edmonds, so you can spend some time before or after your appointment to window shop and enjoy the scenery.

Full disclosure here, I haven’t actually visited this optometrist. BUT I cannot speak highly enough of the administration staffer Rachael. I requested an appointment online for a weird pupil thing I had going on. It was an automated appointment request system.
The next day Rachael presumably read my request and immediately contacted me as she recognized I had strange symptoms that may need to be addressed. She asked about my symptoms and consulted with the doctor and kept me informed and tried to arrange an early appt for me to see the doctor as a medical visit. I couldnt see the doctor in Edmonds due to work commitments but I made an appt with a doctor closer to where I worked.
Turned out there was nothing to worry about and I just went on and forgot all about it. A couple of days later, because I had made no contact. Rachael made sure to contact me, and ensure that everything was OK and ask if I needed anything.
I cannot praise the professionalism, care and attention of this woman enough. It is so rare to find that in companies these days that it is a real treat to know that excellent customer service still exists.
I will definitely be making this my optometrist next year when my eye exam comes up.

great experience. Dr. Wong was super nice and seemed like he actually listened to me about the way I see.
Will update again once I get my new glasses and contacts
