Jon Tyler Conner, OD

I’ve worn glasses for about 40 years so am no stranger to eye docs. My two experiences in two years with Dr. Conner rise above any others. He brings a level of focus, care, compassion and kindness that is rare in any service industry, and certainly medicine. It’s as if you’re the only patient in his care while in his office. He also offers a broad range of frames. BTW, his new address is 1801 Market, as he’s no longer on Tallman.

I have seen Dr. Conner twice. Once for a vision exam and glasses and once for a more urgent concern. On both occasions, he was thorough and helped me with significant improvement with my vision. He was able to fit me in same day for my urgent concern, for which I am very grateful.
Also, FYI he has moved next door to the Ballard Medical Plaza building (1801 NW Market St, Suite 107.

Dr. Conner is probably fine if your vision is really straight forward. But if you have a complicated prescription, go somewhere else. I wasted several years with less than ideal vision from my contacts. I have a significant astigmatism and he insisted that I wasn’t a candidate for rigid gas permeable contacts. When I switched to Seattle Vision, I immediately was prescribed Wave customized rigid gas permeable contacts and my vision is SO much better. I wish I had gotten a 2^nd opinion sooner. Plus he advised me to use custom soft contacts for a year at a time which I later found out is terrible for eye health.

Dr. Conner is a vision nerd, by which I mean he is super interested in all things eyeball. Having worn glasses/​contacts for ¾ of my life (so far), this is what I want in my eye doctor. Great experience, highly recommended. His frame selection is not large, but I’ll get my glasses somewhere else.

As a newbie to the Seattle/​Ballard area, I was i need of an eye exam and contacts, and found Dr. Connor’s office by accident… I walk my dogs by the office daily. I checked out a review on here, and it was positive, so I took down the number and called, and within a couple of days, I was seeing Dr. Connor. Dr. Connor was terrific. Nothing fancy, nothing flashy, just a doctor who was very polite, professional, thorough, and caring. He took the time to address ALL of my questions, concerns, options, and I couldn’t be happier. Kenzie, the woman at the front desk, was amazing at speaking to my insurance to assure that I got the most out of my coverage, and she made me feel very welcome. This quality of care is something that you don’t see much of anymore. They made a patient for good. If you are someone new in town looking for an eye dr, or if you are considering switching eye doctors for other reasons, I highly recommend Dr. Connor.

I was really pleased with the service. He took the time to answer my questions, and made sure I knew what I was doing, and what my options were. It was a great experience. Highly recommended.
