For Your Eyes Only Optometry

Dr. Watson is the best! Very professional and fun, I had a great checkup and am excited to start wearing my new glasses. Highly recommend!

I have been coming to this office for twenty or so years. Dr Kennedy and her staff are always very nice and professional. They have a great selection of eye and sun glasses. If an issue arises which does happen with your glasses they always take care of you. My time coming here says a lot about this practice.

Super friendly staff, like old school customer service that most of us can’t even remember. Great service all– around. Highly recommend

I first went to see them about 2 years ago to get my eyes checked out and Dr. Kathleen was the absolute nicest. The entire staff was very friendly in greeting me and getting me set up with paperwork. The one thing I loved was that they asked me to pick out a pair of frames BEFORE the dilated my eyes. Previous offices I’ve been to dilated my eyes and THEN told me to pick out a pair of frames. Isn’t that ridiculous? Well not here! They make sure you know what frames you want, measure them and everything, and make sure that getting dilated is your last thing before leaving their office.
For a year I didn’t have vision insurance through my new job and have been waiting to go back. I was so glad to hear that my insurance was still accepted! I made an appt ASAP and was happy that my second experience was just as good as my first!

Before I moved to NYC, I worked with FYEOO in the Castro. It was a warm and welcoming office. My concerns were always immediately addressed and thoroughly explained. I felt comfortable, educated and pleased as I left the office. Sadly I didn’t need glasses (again) but the frames she had in the office were SO fashion-​forward. I wish I needed glasses, so I could have tried a few pairs on.

Always enjoy seeing the staff at For Your Eyes Only. They are very attentive and really know how to create a fun experience when shopping for frames. They keep it real and I totally appreciate that! I’ve seen Dr. Kennedy and Dr. Watson and they were both really great!

Been a customer for over 15 years. Love the staff. Paul was great helping me select new frames

I have been coming here for over 20 years. Every time I call to book an appointment, the staff is quick and accommodating. From the moment I arrive to the time I leave, everyone – staff, doctors – go out of their way to make sure I am comfortable, informed, and happy. When a prescription doesn’t feel exactly right, they recheck (and in one instance exchanged the lens) without hesitation. An excellent business, and happy they are within walking distance from where I live.

I recently moved to the lower Haight and was happy to find a gem of an optometrist in Dr Tonya Watson so close to my apt. She and her staff are amazing – super friendly, patient, and on time! Dr Watson explained to me the differences between various contact lenses so thoroughly when I mentioned interest in switching brands and really helped me to make an informed decision. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they have a very well-​stocked selection of contacts in-​store (even for astigmatism) and Dr Watson was very kind to provide me with daily lens samples to take home and try for the week. I felt really comfortable at my first comprehensive visit and subsequent follow-​up emails by Paul were very timely sent.
It’s the friendliest optometry office in the lovely Castro neighborhood.

Long overdue, my apologies to the friendly, professional, and all-​around excellent staff at For Your Eyes Only Optometry. I have had a few eye exams over the years at a number of different places, but this experience really takes the cake! The facility itself was lovely and clean. They have a great selection of designer eyewear to choose from. I want to give a special nod to Paul, the technician who helped me. He was so attentive, considerate, and generous with his suggestions and service. I was totally impressed with the exceptional level of service! Dr. Kennedy was also amazing to work with. She explained everything she was doing and what I should expect and clearly has a deep understanding of her craft and takes great care in what she does. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants top shelf service!

Just to follow-​up, they did email over a copy of my prescriptions for both eye-​glasses and contacts. It is a bummer that they did not spend more than a total of 5 minutes for the fitting. Glasses are still pinching behind my ears and causing headaches. I will have to go elsewhere to get them properly fitted, since I am certain the same deal would happen if I ever returned. It really is too bad.

Incredibly friendly and thorough eye exam!

Dr Kennedy and her staff rocks! I’m always made to feel special when I’m there and the level of service and modern equipment assures me that I’m getting the best optical exam possible!

I recently visited For Your Eyes Only for the first time after having a change in insurance carrier. Nothing against my previous optometrist, who I liked a great deal, but the thoroughness of the exam was so special that I just feel compelled to give a shout out. The exam wasn’t even in the same league as other exams I have had. I have just been so accustomed to «in and out» exams over the years, that when I had a super thorough exam, both by instrumentation and by Tonya Watson, OD, it just stood out. Dr. Watson spent a good deal of time talking to me about how a medication I had been on probably had not been the culprit in some temporary vision problems and and also giving me tips on overcoming problems with past progressive lens use. All in all, this was definitely a 5 star visit. I will be back.

The office is clean, comfortable and inviting. The staff are very professional and personable. I saw Dr. Watson and she was great! I love the fact that you can schedule reschedule and cancel appointments online which is really convenient. The hours are really flexible with Saturday and evening appointments available. I highly recommend this office. 5 stars all around!

Very helpful, friendly, and efficient! They helped me with an annoying insurance issue and dealt with the issue on their own. Other places want you to deal with the insurance companies They then followed up with me to confirm all was good! All I could ask for.

Dr. Kennedy and Dr. Watson are top notch doctors, very thorough and caring. They’ve really helped me transition back into contact lenses again, at a «mature» age. And they’ve hired a truly *great* staff! A delightful group of warm, fun and caring professionals. Every time I visit, I feel like I’m part of the «four eyes» family!

Dr. Kennedy and her polite and efficient staff have been taking care of my eyes ever since I realized I couldn’t make out the words on the page anymore.
As much as I hate having my eyes dilated for my yearly exam, it’s nice to know everything is okay in there.
The selection of frames covers my (limited) fashion needs and far beyond (they have frames made from STONE!) and I’m not suffering eye strain-​related headaches.

I have been coming here for at at least 7 years — I love them! Dr, Kennedy is fantastic and the frame selection is pretty great. The staff is wonderful — they are fun yet absolutely know what they’re doing.
In addition to the above, they have very generous hours & are super close to the Castro Street Station.

This was my first eye exam in 4 years. I was able to book the appointment online which was great. The office is nice and clean. The frame selection seemed a bit pricy but I didn’t look much further than the frames they had on display which were designer brands.
I arrived right at 2pm for my appointment at 2pm. Another woman arrived right behind me for her appointment at 2pm. I didn’t think much about it because the have 2 eye doctors on staff. But what I later found out after an appointment of ONE HOUR AND 40 MINUTES was that the one doctor was seeing multiple patients. So what was about 30 minutes in actual exam time was also 1 hour and 10 minutes of waiting time. Both waiting in the exam room and in the waiting room.
I did have my eyes dialated so I understand there’s a bit of waiting for that but when I was moved from the waiting room to the exam room for 20 more minutes, my eye sight cleared up and I told the receptionist I needed to go. So the doctor finally came in and quickly finished checking my eyes.
I will say that Dr. Kathleen Kennedy is very nice and explains everything she’s doing. Like the 2 different eye drops she put in… that I’m guessing gelled with the mascara I had on and 48 hours after my eye exam, my eye got irritated and is all puffy and red.
I’m not going back there ever again. A swollen eyelid and the office experience I had are not worth it.
