History

Established in 2006.

Dr. Summy To opened her first practice in the exciting neighborhood of N. Williams in 2010 and in Laurelhurst in 2014. Myoptic Optometry is about relationships — with the quality vendors we work with, with the authenticity of the neighborhood, and most importantly, with clients. We care about our service, our product, and how we communicate with you, bottom line.

In 2014 Myoptic also added Dr. Paymon Hossini to the team. Dr. Hossini has been practicing in Portland since 2009 and brings so much skill and heart to the practice.

Business Owner

Optometry has given me so much to be thankful for. The privilege of meeting and getting to know wonderful people everyday. I love helping people enjoy sharp, comfortable vision for their particular needs, and doing all I can to ensure their eyes stay healthy for a lifetime. Myoptic gives me the perfect space to do what I love and do it the best way I can. I also built Myoptic to be a community partner through donated eye care services, our wonderful donation program and active volunteering with our amazing Portland nonprofit neighbors.

I graduated from the University of California at Berkeley where I studied economics and vision science and received my degree as an Optometric Physician in 1997. After backpacking SE Asia for a year (which I could write another several paragraphs about) and practicing in California for eight years, I found Portland, Oregon and fell in love with its people, energy and beauty.

In my free time, my family is my life. Exercising, cooking, traveling with my fa

Gresham, OR
Got my glasses and eye exam here and the experience was good. I was really happy with the pair I got and they were super helpful.

My mom got her glasses from here and recommended it to me. I had a pair of frames that I wasn’t all too happy with, so I decided to go. They have a REALLY good selection here, and I got something that I actually wanted to wear. Got a frame that I really liked, and the customer service was very friendly and helpful!

I love the selection of eyewear but it is super expensive. You probably want to be a daily eye glass wearer to pay $ 300/​average frame plus $ 300/​average lens= $ 600! The quality seems good though. Very hipster.

Absolutely loved everyone here! I had a lot of trouble finding frames that worked for me and they searched through every single pair, eventually finding a pair of sunglass frames and popped out the lenses! I highly recommend this place.

This is where you need to get your glasses. Great selection, good prices, and above all THE ABSOLUTE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE ANYWHERE.
I’ve had a handful of problems with my glasses (self-​inflicted; not a quality issue on their part) and they’ve jumped through hoops to help me out. As long as they’ve in business, I’ll never go anywhere else.
Cross-​posting this to their Laurelhurst store as well because I’ve been to both and receive the same amazing treatment regardless of location.

I can’t say enough good things about the staff at Myoptic. They were so helpful, knowledgeable and patient! They carry a great variety of frames and I found a pair I was quite happy with. The doctor was very professional and took the time to listen to my concerns. I would recommend Myoptic without hesitation.

Earlier in the day I had been in a different optometrists office trying to find a pair of glasses. I left that place feeling discouraged as I’d tried on SO many and couldn’t find any that I was excited about. The people there were fine but nothing special. I decided to stop by Myoptic and I am so glad that I did.
As soon as I walked in I was welcomed. Tristen offered to get me tray to hold all the glasses I liked and said he’d be happy to help me when I’d picked them out. I really appreciated that help was available but not lingering around me making me feel uncomfortable. As I’m learning, offering drinks while looking at glasses is normal here in Portland, so Tristen offered to get me some water, tea or beer (isn’t this awesome!).
The selection they offer is wonderful! It varies enough that I don’t feel like I’m only looking at different versions of the same hipster style glasses. Though it could be a bit overwhelming, it is a great selection. I also found the prices to be good and have no complaints there.
When it came to putting the glasses I’d decided on on hold, I was so happy with the experience I’d had that I decided to make them my new eye doctor. I left there feeling 100x better than I had earlier in the day.
I highly recommend Myoptic if you are looking for new frames or a new eye doctor.

Oregon City, OR
Every review is correct. My exam price was $ 150 + $ 39 for the new technology (take photos of inside your eye) which I did take advantage of because I hate people around my eyes and honestly I felt comfortable the whole time and I paid out of pocket so they discounted my $ 25.
The exam is well worth the price. Cheers

By far my favorite place to visit in all of Oregon. I always have the best experience! People who work here are genuinely caring, are full of knowledge and they make sure everyone is taken care of. You could be gone for a year and they will still remember you when you return. Comfortable and inviting environment, and they will go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied. This place is exemplary!

The reviews are spot on, the staff here are very friendly and helpful! On vacation from Georgia and forgot my contact lenses, stopped by their office and not only did they call my optometrist in Georgia for my information but also gave me the contacts free of charge! Would definitely recommend their services to anyone in the Portland area!

Christina is the absolute ideal when it comes to an optometric front-​of-​house employee. She flew around the office selecting frames for us that were tailored to our faces. Honest, open, and funny, she also managed to find the two of us the best looking frames we’ve ever laid on our noses. And were these $ 700 frames like we had pushed on us at Eye Studio in the Pearl? No, they were a much more reasonable $ 300 but they have very attractive frames that start at $ 100.
To boot, extremely transparent pricing. I loved the way Christina turns her computer monitor towards you, walks you through each of the options, and calculates the prices *with* you. Having had glasses since birth, I recognize this as a conscious pushback to the opaque pricing and shady selling tactics of other eye places.
On top of that, they carry Fetch and TOMS, both of which donate profits and inventory to the needy. Myoptic themselves donates profits to charity. This is the optometry store for the 21st century. Bravo to them for raising the bar on the industry.

I’ve been going to see Summy and her team for years and hands down the best exam and customer service anywhere! Be prepared, it’s a very thorough exam and not a quick glance at and eyechart and out.
The staff is very knowledgeable as well and super friendly too.
I cannot recommend them more!
PS:
When you check out, you get to choose a local charity they give part of their profits too as well.

I had a wonderful experience at Myoptic N. Williams recently receiving a routine eye exam. Employees were all very helpful and the exam didn’t take very long. There is a new machine available that allows you to see the inside of your eye with no dilation. It’s cool! Dr. Summy was happy to answer my regular and not so regular questions like «why do I see weird floaty things sometimes?»
I highly recommend Myoptic! As a bonus there is a new nearby bakery called Frice with delicious pastries (and coffee!)

The owner/​optometrist is a smart cookie (Berkley Grad). She is also cool, friendly and funny – besides a smart cookie and competent. She has 2 other equally capable and qualified optometrists to work with.
Myoptic uses Optimap (state-​of-​the-​art equipment) which takes a picture of the back of the retina and maps blood vessels. No dilation of eyes required with those eye drops that blurr vision and eyes sensitive to light for a few hours. They will e-​mail you your Optimap eye scan which is colorful and fascinating (neat-​o, my retina looks like abstract art and I may just frame and hang it on the wall)!
Everyone in the office and the opticians are helpful. Their frames are independent companies, not run-​of-​the-​mill (and prices of frame and services are in the ball park of others I have checked out). You want cool looking specs. You don’t wanna look like you are wearing the latest trend. You want you own cool style. But more than cool you want the right fit – and the optician’s make sure of both!
Myoptic gives a portion of every sale to 1 of 4 charities you choose. The charities are OPB (Education), the Food Bank (Hunger), Sustainable NW (Environment) and Mercy Corps (Disaster Relief). Myoptic is kind and showing love to the community addressing issues that matter to socially conscientious PDX’ers.
If you need an eye exam, a good optometrist who cares about you, cares about PDX and uses the latest equipment – why not give Myoptic a shot! I think you’ll SEE crystal clear – makes sense. My wife, mother-​in-​law and I got our eyes examined here and fitting for new specs.

My Optic staff and Dr. Summy To are amazing! Each and every time I go into My Optic, I am greeted with a warm welcome and lots of smiles. I have been seeing Dr. To for over seven years now and my whole family loves and adores her. She is extremely thorough, very very professional and I would not go to anyone else. I highly recommend My Optic!
Oh and she gives back to the community in my wonderful ways!

I’ve had the unfortunate need to stop in here for emergency optometry appointments twice now, and each time, I have been blow away by the quality of care at Myoptic. This place rules. Summy is amazing and well versed in her craft. Once, I had a corneal abrasion, and she had me back at work in short order, and another time, my iris became inflamed, causing painful sensitivity to light, and her quick thinking cleared it up immediately. The Myoptic office is great about scheduling and following up – they use an automated text message system to remind you the day before your appointment that allows you to cancel if necessary. Staff are friendly, optometrist is amazing. Did I mention that they are awesome?!
Haven’t bought contacts or glasses in a while, but when I do, I’m going to give them a shot. Because I know that I would rather spend my money in a local business who actually cares (and shows it time and again) than some inflated eye-​wear chain who don’t give a shit about their patients. Thanks Summy (and staff)!!!

I’d been experiencing eye strain and tension headaches, so it was time for my first ever eye exam! Every person I dealt with, from the eye exam to the free adjustment, was tremendously friendly and helpful.
Greg led me through a series of eye tests; Paymon gave me an exam and offered some solutions for my computer vision problems; and when I eventually decided on Warby Parker glasses (a brand not carried at Myoptic), a cheery red-​head fixed my glasses up with no hesitation.
My partner also uses Myoptic, and the both of us will keep coming back!

I’ve been coming here for years to get my glasses. They have really great technology and always are quick in service.
They have many high end machines for eye exams, no need to dilate eyes and blow air into eye ball. They have the newest machines to avoid that. This makes the exam quick.
There selection is decent but only cater to high end. This makes price a bit high. Best to come here only if you have good eye insurance.
They have the full line of mykita here and lots of wooden frames. Great for hipsters.
I will continue to come back as long as I live in oregon.

Where is Tina Turner when you need her? Because, this place is simply the best, better than all the rest! Seriously. Amazing.
I came here 45 minutes before closing thinking, «ok, I’ll just look around…» — ha, no way can you come to this place without leaving with a nifty pair of specs. Immediately when I walked in I was greeted warmly by Travis and Christina. These people were so friendly and inviting.
Christina helped me every step of the way trying on various frames that would fit my ever so small face. She went through the entire process with me, in terms of what fits me well, what I should be looking for with my perscription (disclaimer** I have coke bottle glasses currently and am practically blind – my poor eyes!!), and billing/​what I’d be charged for. While I do wear contacts, I came here looking for something out of the ordinary and boy did I find the perfect pair.
I was told it would be about two weeks before my new frames are ready and I am chomping at the bit. My frames come with a 1 year warranty and lenses with a 2 year warranty. Please note, this little establishment carries designer, unique, one-​of-​a-​kind frames. With that being said, they are a bit on the pricey side, but you know me and my rule of thumb — you get what you pay for. Myoptic does take insurance and other various forms of payment, FYI. Once my new specs arrive I’ll be sure to write an update review.
Dr. To– while I did not see you for an eye appointment, you truly have an amazing staff. Keep up the great work Myoptic! My eyes are forever in your trustworthy hands.

New year meant it was time for me to finally get on the ball and get an eye exam. I went for the full thing, dilating the eyes, new glasses, the works! The staff and Dr. To are all amazing.
Every step of the exam they were friendly and professional. They communicated what they were doing and what I needed to do clearly and concisely. There was no pressure to order new glasses, my vision had changed a bit. I figured I deserved a new pair, it had been over three years since my last visit after all.
When selecting my new glasses I kept saying I didn’t really care that much what they look like since I only wear them while driving or at the theater. They insisted on finding a pair that looked good on me. Well they succeeded, I have been wearing them more than I planned and have received quite a few compliments.
It took me just over 3 years to return for an eye exam because nothing was wrong with my old glasses, right? … and I was just there a year or so ago, right? No fault of Myoptic, I know they sent me a postcard or an email, or maybe multiples of either or both. I just like to maintain my 10 star procrastinator rating.
