San Luis Obispo Optometric Center

Consistently great service and great staff every time I go. Dr. Parreira is the absolute best there is. She takes her time to explain everything she does and all results. She is caring, knowledgeable and funny. I would recommend this office to everyone.

Dr Parreira is one of the most thorough and caring doctors I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She is highly knowledgeable, seems to stay up to date on the research and uses cutting edge technology to offer her patients the best possible care. She always takes the time to explain things in a way that patients can understand and remember. She offers all the options and doesn’t pressure you to go with the most expensive choices. Finding medical care this great is highly unusual these days.

My wife and I were visiting from out of town, when she bent the frames of her glasses. We went to San Luis Obispo Optical to see if they could straighten them. The staff was very friendly, and immediately set to work fixing my wife’s glasses. In a few minutes, the glasses were done. They refused payment for the service! Best of all, my wife says they fit better now than they did before.

Seriously, after coming here, dealing with the wonderful staff, seeing Dr. Parreira, and coming back for a second consultation, I can 1000% say I will never go to another optometrist. She is not only sweet, caring, and good at what she does, she is INTELLIGENT; I learned so much more about my medical issues than I have with MDs or PAs.
Before, I went with Envision Optometry in downtown SLO, and I thought it was a pretty good office, but after going here, Dr. Parreira’s office makes Envision look like a dump. The contact lenses she prescribed were of better quality (I can wear them for a month without wanting to gouge my eyes out), and I can see so much clearer and sharper. I think she increased the strength on both, but on one eye she basically doubled it. In Envision, I remember the Dr. questioning himself a lot on my prescription, ultimately resulting it in a weaker strength than should be, and not the best/​strongest for my eyes.
Also got glasses and they fit great, and see just as great as my contacts. :)

This is by far the best optometrist center I have been to. The nose pads on my glasses fell off and I attempted to find replacement nose pads at CVS thinking I could fix it myself. After no luck in my search, I searched for a nearby optometrist center to purchase these nose pads. Thankfully, I stumbled upon this particular optometrist. They were extremely friendly and even offered to replace both my nose pads. This happened twice and they were still as friendly. I am obligated to write such a review because of their friendliness and courtesy.

I had a great experience at Dr. Parreira’s office. She identified my condition, one that has remained unknown for years and we are on the treatment path now. She listened to my complaints and gave me a thorough course of action to bring eventual relief. She also has an amazing machine that allows her to gauge one’s overall health in a way i have never seen before. She looked in amazing detail at my eyeballs and was able to rule out diabetes and circulation issues etc. She also ruled out the major eye diseases that I have feared during my symptom flareups! Also, although I thought my vision was great she was able to make it SOO much better with a very mild prescription… and I can’t wait for the glasses to arrive! Thank you!

This was the best exam and experience I have ever had for optometric services in 55+ years of needing glasses. I arrived early expecting to wait until my appointment time but they took me right in and began the preliminary part of the exam. Dr. Parreira was extremely professional, warm and caring and explained everything to me carefully. They have the most advance screening and equipment I have even seen. The entire staff made me feel very welcome. They followed up with me later in the week when I had a question. I recommend them highly.

I was referred to Dr. Parreira by another optometrist because of her expertise in contact lenses. She has worked tirelessly to provide me with contacts that have gone beyond my expectations.

Actions speak louder than words; I’ll return

I decided to go to this optometrist because of the good reviews I saw on Unilocal.Now I feel that I should keep the chain of positivity going. This office is very friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable about eye care. Dr. Amanda Parreira is extremely passionate about her profession and it shows when she is with patients. I have loved all of my frame selections so far and will continue to use this office for eye appointments in the future.

Excellent care with Dr Parreira! Recently I was leaving town and she worked worked me in for an emergency contact lense issue. She spends plenty of time explaining issues and is on the cutting edge with my eye care needs.

I received excellent service and care with Amanda Parreira. She gets you in and out very quickly without sacrificing quality of service. I would recommend this to anyone seeking eye care!

They are awesome! They are very nice, client focused, and have the best tech in the area to make sure that they can catch and diagnose issues early.

This office offers quality optical care with friendly service and very brief wait times. I started just bring one of my sons and now all 6 of us come and enjoy great optical care. Thanks!

I recently switched to Dr. Parreira for my eye care and am extremely satisfied with the service I received. She has state of the art equipment, and is very meticulous in getting the right prescription for your particular needs. I went from monovision contact lenses to multifocal and I couldn’t be happier. My vision is so much better! It reminds me of that Claritin clear commercial, where the scenery goes from dull and blurry to bright and beautiful! I am recommending Dr. Parreira to all my friends. Thank you, Dr. Parriera!

I called Dr. Parreira and she took me in to see her 10 minutes after I called to make an appointment. So happy because I had a lot of discomfort in my eye and she took care of my issue right away and my eye is back to normal!

My laziness knows no bounds, so I’m all kinds of appreciative that they always call ME to schedule my next appointment.

Each time I call with my «emergency» (something’s in my eye bugging me), she gets me in right away, that day. She has me «come right in and we’ll fit you in». She communicates very well so you’re not baffled when you leave. She’s is prompt and efficient with my time. Thank Doc!

Dr Parreira is wonderful. She’s patient, intelligent and responsive to her patients’ needs. After trying a lot of different places to get my contacts prescribed, she was the only who got the job done right, and right away, too. Her office team is really friendly, too. All in all, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone and everyone in my family has been using her services for years now.

Dr. Amanda Parreira is the most thorough optometrist I have ever been to. She provides me with the utmost of confidence that she will not only make my vision as clear as humanly possible but that she will detect any disease or defect in a timely manner. Her high tech office and tests provide a great comfort level for any apprehensive patient. If you want a comprehensive exam from a nice, highly competent eye doctor, Dr. Amanda Parreira is your best choice on the Central Coast. She came recommended to me by an ophthalmologist. How much better than that can it get?
