I was welcomed as soon as I walked in, and my appointment started right away. I didn't have to wait. The staff were very helpful. The staff member who was helping me pick out frames and prepare the bill was new. I appreciated that she took the time to check with other staff when she was unsure. The optometrist was very thorough. I appreciate that she reviewed my images and explained what they meant.

My day took quite an unexpected turn when my toddler jumped on my glasses while there were on my face and completely broke the frame. One side was beyond repair — even crazy glue wouldn’t have saved it! As a teacher, I really can’t function long without my glasses. I can’t drive or do much of anything properly. I went to Iris hoping for some kind of miracle, and ladies there truly worked as a team to try to help. They carefully checked if the frame could be repaired, but in the end we realized I definitely needed new frames. Instead of giving up, they started trying different options and somehow managed to find a perfect pair that fit my prescription lenses exactly. I honestly have no idea how those optical wizards made it work, but they did! They got everything fitted so I can actually function like a normal human again while I wait the two weeks for my new glasses to be ready. I’m so impressed with the teamwork and care from the staff here. They were patient, creative, and genuinely determined to help. The frames they chose fit me perfectly, and as a bonus I even saved money on taxes since I was only paying for the frames and using my existing lenses. Thank you so much, ladies — I’m incredibly grateful. I highly recommend Iris! 👓✨

Best eye clinic in Oceanside. Have not only saved my eyesight but when my husband had an eye event and his own clinic would not see him right away, Donna got him in to see Dr Phillips right away and object was removed from the eye within 5 minutes. Can not say enough about the front store staff and Dr Phillips

I wish I had gotten their names, but I really want to thank the two ladies who were working at Iris the day I went in. I had been staying at Tigh-Na-Mara and I wore my glasses into the sauna for five minutes the night before. When I came out, my glasses were warped. I had to take a taxi to the optometrist because I could not see anything. Although I haven’t worn contact lenses for 20 years, they were able to give me some comfortable temporary lenses to at least get me home. I appreciate how kind and helpful they were, and that they tried to come up with a solution for me. Note to anyone using the sauna at that resort… There are no signs warning you, but the dry heat in there is very high and can cost you a lot of money no matter how good the coating is on your glasses, so leave your glasses outside the door.

I broke my glasses in half and needed an emergency solution to get through the day and drive home safely. They called my regular IRIS location, and had me out the door wearing an emergency pair of contact lenses within a few minutes. Very helpful and understanding staff!

Excellent clinic with terrific staff out front and behind the scenes. Dr M has a wealth of experience and made me feel like I was a partner in the complex process of sorting out my concerns. Communication with the clinic was excellent and there was no problem with getting timely appointments or follow-ups. I’m really pleased that they’re in my community.

Great service and such a fun crew of people working there! Everyone was friendly and kind, upbeat and helpful— they made me feel relaxed right away. The lab tech was lovely and patient with me when taking photos— we had to redo them and she made a point of saying it was not my fault that I kept blinking! The optometrist, Dr Phillips, was superb - she doesn’t like the test where they blow air into your eyes so she doesn’t do it (huge relief for me!) and she was excited to show me my optic nerve and cones! It was cool to see her so enthusiastic about eye care and eyeballs in general! Overall I had a lovely visit and I’m excited for my new glasses!
