EyeWish Optometry

Dr. Mantua is very thorough and attentive. Last year, I had a problem with my prescription and she fixed it immediately. I was lucky to find the perfect frame for me at her optic shop. The staff is very professional and customer service oriented. Their eye examination protocol is great and includes high technology equipment for early diagnosis of eye conditions. Dr. Mantua was able to refer me to a specialist early on after her examination and that in itself is valuable when it comes to early detection and treatment. I look forward to coming back to try my new glasses. I highly recommend them.

Small office that stays open until 6 pm. They offer free cleaner when glasses purchase. I’m impressed by their friendly staff and availability to see clients. I found the office equipment not to be as clean as I would like. I believe the office sees a lot of people and the office takes most insurances.
The staff was more than willing to fit me into their schedule. I appreciated their hospitality and happy smiles. I found the staff to be professional and friendly. The service was very good and the Dr. seemed to know what she was doing. I would recommend this office to anyone who needs an eye doctor.
The selection of glasses was interesting. The styles were modern and up to date. I’ve been to eye doctors who try to sell out of date frames, but not at this location. The office stocks a wide variety of prices and styles. I liked the expensive Italian frames and would even think about some of the very inexpensive frames.

My family began going to Eyewish 18 years ago. What impressed me most was the competence with which they treated my five year old. Since then, our entire family has made them our eye care specialists. Three of us wear glasses, one wears contacts. They have late afternoon and Saturday office hours, always helpful. We highly recommend them.

Excellent service, friendly staff. They helped me make good eyeware choices based on my lifestyle as well as occupation. Love my Ecco frames. Nice to know they are made with recycled material, and a tree will be planted with each purchase.

I’ve been visiting Eye Wish for over 5 years. Both Dr. Mantual and Dr. Pond and very nice, responsive, considerate, thorough, and do care about my well-​being.
The staff is is also very helpful and patient with me. I ordered 3 pairs of Flexon frames over the years. They are very comfortable, but somehow the bridges between the lenses all broke within 3 months of each other. The staff were able to find reach the manufacturer and had the frames repaired at reasonable cost. Well, one of the pairs had just exceeded the warranty time, but the staff were able to convince the manufacturer to fix it for free. They solved my problems and addressed my concerns.
Price is expected as if it were any other optometrist office.
Highly recommended.

Whenever you move to a new area, you have to find your doctors, and I am happy to say I have found my Optometrist! Dr. Pond took extra time to explain things to me when I had questions and got me wearing the RIGHT contacts for my eyes. The text reminders also helped. Great place, recommend!

I like Dr. Pond; she is funny but competent. She spend all the time needed with you; the staff are super helpful and nice and very accommodating for appointments. They also have a nice collection of frames for adults and kids. I definitely recommend them if you are looking for an ophthalmologist.

Dr Pond and staff are excellent… Great service, attention to detail… walk out feeling well cared for.

Dr Mantua and her staff are great!
It has been a long time since I had my eyes checked and there hadn’t been much changes to my eyesight since I visited my last doctor. I am so glad I came her!!! They really took their time with me helping me understand what changed and finding glasses for my huge head!!! They have a very large selection of frames for heads my size. Thanks for everything!
Added bonus, I have some pretty cool pictures of my eyeballs now.

I have had eye exams with both Dr. Pond and Dr. Mantua. They are THE BEST! The entire staff is attentive and pleasant! They were very helpful in helping me select frames and answered all my questions. I highly recommend Eyewish for all your optometry needs!

There is nothing like personalized service, which is why I recommend EyeWish over any of the chain eyewear locations. First, Drs Pond and Mantua are both great — thorough and they certainly don’t insult your intelligence.
Secondly the whole team is just fantastic — from the exam to fitting lenses and glasses (I wear both) to recommending styles and technologies to make life easier, this is just the best office around.
No surprise to see an average of five stars here!

I have been seeing Dr. Pond since she began her practice in Novato. She’s the best!
She is thorough, and explains the condition of my eyes so I can understand it.
I would recommend her to anyone with Vision issues!

Updated review! My recent exam with Dr. Mantua was still as good as it gets. She is very thorough with the review and patient when answering my questions. I selected a lovely frame for my new (reading!) glasses and I was very impressed with the selection of frames and service provided. Thank you EyeWish Optometry!

I have been going to Dr. Pond for decades. She gives the most thorough exam, helps me understand the condition of my eyes, and how to best care for them. She is absolutely the best!!!

I have been going to Dr. Mantua and Dr. Pond for at least 5 years! They are so sweet and always really accommodating. I made a last minute call to get contacts, and they fit me in two days after I called for an appointment! They always have really cute glasses in stock and always trying to get you a good deal if they can. I will keep coming back and will be recommending them to anyone and everyone!

I’ve had great service and very attentive and thorough eye exams at EyeWish Optometry for 3 years now. Dr. Mantua and Dr. Pond are excellent optometrists. My husband also goes there. I do not wear contact lenses, however I was very satisfied with my progressive lenses ordered through their office. The glasses have been wonderful for working on the computer, looking down to worksheets or reading material, or looking up for a conversation with a co-​worker without taking off my glasses. My only mildly negative comment would be about frame choices. I haven’t found any ideal for me, however I am picky about accent medal color and brand names. If I have to advertise a brand name on my temple, I want it to be a brand I really love. I don’t love many brands. As a forethought, I would love to see OliverPeoples selections there.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Mantua for several years. She is super thorough and explains everything. She even emailed me my retina images. I never feel rushed when getting my checkup. When getting glasses, Shana is super helpful and the entire team there is always cheerful, helpful, and super efficient. I bought a pair of Costa sunglasses with progressive lenses and they needed to be sent back because they were defective. The folks at EyeWish went so far as to retest my vision and the glasses to figure out the problem. They will do whatever is necessary to guarantee you are happy with your purchase and always with a smile.

I have been having my eyes checked with Dr. Pond for many many years. She is always thorough, answers all my questions and has a wonderful style of patience that is rare in this century. «I wish» Dr. Pond will remain in business for a long time to come!

I went to Dr Pond on a referral from a friend before insurance. I now have Kaiser so I don’t go for eye appointments anymore. But I continue to go here for frames and with frames I have purchased on trips. Love Dr. Pond and the staff is always helpful and knowledgable even if my eye exams are no longer done there.

Both Dr. Mantua and Dr. Pond are great! The office is extremely friendly and helpful. This place is great and I would definitely recommend it.
