    First off, I'd like to say I've never had such wonderful, personalized service for my optical needs. Jeff and Rod are both amazing opticians who deliver white glove service when it came to getting a pair of classes that suited my needs, style, and face frame. When it came to selecting a pair of glasses I was looking for something that was bold, elegant, professional, but could also be used for driving/in the sun. It seemed like I was pursing four types of glasses, but they truly helped me narrow it down to one pair. I ended up getting a pair of designer sunglasses and they were able to order a pair of transition lenses and put them in. The turnaround time was about one week which was great! Store wise, Peninsula Optical is a bright, modern and very clean optical shop. They have a great selection of Cartier and Maui Jim. While I was in picking up my glasses, the Maui Jim representative came in to personally give them the newest styles, so they definitely have the latest and greatest. They also carry their own brand as well. For anyone coming here, do be prepared for street parking as the shop is located on University Ave. Lastly, if you need prescription glasses, make sure to bring your prescription as there is no optometrist.

    Amazing place for glasses. They have a really wide and premium selection of frames. Their lenses (really great at reasonable price for what it is) and skills (measurements) are far better than any other places I've been to. Their lenses and measurements actually made my eyes more comfortable. Just bought two pairs of glasses, best glasses store I've been.

    Even wonder if he's the owner, Rod assisted when he was helping other customers and replaced the missing screw to secure the nose pad that was falling off. At the end, he insisted not to charge and called it a service. His kindness earned him a FIVE STARS!! Thank you, Rod!!
