Specialties

Site for Sore Eyes continues, as it did when their first optical store opened in 1979, to go beyond — providing the best quality eyewear, accurate eye exams and fast and courteous service from our sales staff and opticians –to serve Northern California with exceptional value. With nearly 40 locations, each of our California eyewear stores is individually owned, operated — and has its own unique style.

Along with a combination of style and service, each store offers great prices on our products and services. Site for Sore Eyes understands that deciding on eye exams, contact lenses or eyeglasses requires time and care. Our knowledgeable staff ensures you are confident in your eyewear and comfortable with your purchase before you walk out the door. Quick to answer questions or give fashion advice on eyeglasses, Site for Sore Eyes really is the eyecare store next door!
