Blue Ribbon Optical

I have vintage frames and the plastic can get a little funky looking– apparently it gets dried out. I dropped them off on Saturday morning and picked them up in the afternoon, and they were LIKE NEW! Really nice people, great prices, and thorough expert service. Also a cute cat who may place a gentle paw on your arm to politely suggest another round of petting.

My lens popped out of my frames and I couldn’t screw them back in for the life of me. Ron not only fixed it but also adjusted my frames for me at a really great price and it all took less than half an hour! He was super nice and my glasses fit SO much better now. Couldn’t be happier :)

Amazing place! A friend of mine who is new to the U.S. and speaks English only poorly needed glasses, so I took him here for help. Ron and Vee went out of their way to make sure that he felt at home and got all the help he needed. A week later, when his new glasses were ready, we went back to pick them up and the fit and look were perfect. Blue Ribbon gets tops scores for service, helpfulness and great glasses.

this guy is the McGyver of glasses! I broke my spring hinge glasses, and after calling like 4 optical stores said I just have to order a new one. Either they’re just plain lazy or plain WEAK. I call Blue Ribbon, told them about my glasses and they asked me to come in. Mr McGyver assesed the damage and said ‘yeah I can fix it’. 1 day. boom! got a call the next day and had my favorite glasses fixed for a very decent price. strong work! lets eat some rice and adobo! lets do this!

I was very impressed with my trip here. I came in with a pair of safety frames that needed nose pads and they helped me right away. In addition to service, they have a nice selection of frames and a very nice cat you can enjoy if you have to wait.

Super friendly people. I found this place from Unilocal after I broke one of my eyeglass hinges on a weekend. Ron told me they could repair it by the end of the next day. They charged me $ 45 for a broken hinge (which is absolutely reasonable!). Their attention to detail was top notch and my glasses looked like a brand new pair. They also had a beautiful furry Siberian cat called Cookie in store, which kept me entertained while Ron was taking a look at my glasses. Will definitely go back, for the great quality of work, customer care and for the huge fluffy cat!

Great services! Ron and Vee are very nice person. 5 stars for the good communication and the eyeglasses cleaner :)

Very good customer service. Very fast and understanding of clients needs. I brought my Eye glasses that morning and he had it done for me that afternoon before my work, so he understands our needs. Pricing is very fair, he charged me 45 $ for a broken hinge. I highly recommend blue ribbon optical for any eye wear repair.

I needed to have nose pads added to my prescription plastic frames. Lens Crafters in Colma could not do the work even though I had purchased my frames there. Blue Ribbon Optical to the rescue! Ron said he could add the nose pads, and a day later I picked up my glasses and was extremely satisfied. I can now wear my glasses comfortably. I’m thankful to have been referred to Blue Ribbon Optical. They have wonderful customer service, and their cat Cookie is pretty cute too!

Vee is a wonderful lady and she fixed my glasses (which were bought in another city). When I tried to pay her she insisted that it was on the house. I will definitely buy my next pair of glasses there and recommend the place to my friends.

Other than the fact that the store is on Mission St near the Daly City border, I can’t explain why there is not a line out the door. This place deserves it. A year ago a friend visiting from Arizona broke her glass frames. In one day, they were repaired and at an extremely reasonable price. Today I brought in my glasses whose rubber/​plastic nose piece had broken off its metal arm attached to the wire frame. For $ 5 (five-​NOT a typo) he replaced BOTH the broken one and the one opposite (so that they would match). Earlier, when I broke this part, I phoned my local eyeglass store in SF and was told this would have to be sent out for repairs. I cannot imagine what that would have cost. Nothing near $ 5.

Went to there last week with my one leg broken glasses. I didn’t expect anyone can fix my glasses frame because someone step on it and one of the frame leg completely off the frame. But Ron took it and told me give him few days to work on it. Three days later, Vee called me and tell me my glasses is ready to go. I was so happy I can have my glasses back again. That is not even the best part, when I pick up my glasses last weekend I showed Ron my back up glasses. It has been used almost 7 years, and those glasses came out the frame a little bit. Ron told me give him few mins, and then he fixed my back up glasses too!!! It was like juts happened in 5 mins, its like magic!!! I asked him how much should I pay and he said its OK! Can u believe it??? I have been United States 6 years and I have never get free service like this!
For everyone who has eye glasses problem in bay area I highly recommend you go to Blue Ribbon Optical. Go find Ron and he will take care your glasses.
Both Ron and Vee are very friendly and nice! I very enjoy chat with them. They also have a big cute cat, I forgot her name but she is very friendly too. Overall, I enjoy every second that I spend at Blue Ribbon Optical :)

I’ve researched many optical shops in the San Francisco area as well as other cities and I’m ecstatic to have found Ron and Vee. My frame is a larger than normal frame so I had trouble finding a shop who could do it. Not only could Ron do it, but his turn around time was 2 days and his attention to detail and concern for the customer is impeccable. His prices are absolutely the best in town hands down, and the total experience was the best I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back to order lenses for sunglasses, and I’ll never go to anyone else while I’m still living in San Francisco.
Their shop is also super easy to get to from the city and there is easy parking in front on the street. They are really great people and I can’t stress enough how impressed I am with their business and quality.

After getting some plastic frames from Costco, I wanted to get some «arms & nose pads» since plastic frames rarely stay on my Asian-​nose. The optometrist at Costco recommended Ron at Blue Ribbon Optical, since he was good job and that he would give me a discount.
For me, this optometry is a bit of the way. The location is a little strange, not really a street you would go to shop to buy things. However, the parking was great, and the two times I went, I got parking right in front. The parking is free for 2-​hours (no meters, yay!).
Ron said he could put nosepads on my glasses no problem. It was $ 65 but by mentioning Costco I got it done for $ 60. My optometrist said they could also do it for $ 60, so I’m guessing this is the going rate. He was able to fix it very quickly, a turnaround time of 2 days. In addition, Ron is the one repairing all of the glasses, it’s not sent somewhere else to be fixed. I was impressed that he knew his stuff and could tell where to raise and extend my glasses w/​the nosepads since he didn’t even take measurements. In the end, my glasses fit perfectly. Before, they would sit low on my nose and therefore my eyes weren’t looking out in the center. But now they’re centered, and I can see perfectly.
I was really pleased with my service. I would highly recommend for all my friends who need repairs done. Also, the hours are very convenient, closing at 6pm everyday except Saturday (5pm).
Ron is a really nice guy, along with whom I think is his wife. They also have a cute cat named Cookie (siberian) who is super friendly (I’m not a cat person usually, but this one was very fluffy and friendly!). Also he’s Filipino, which I thought was kinda cool since I’ve never met someone in the optometry field that was Filipino (all the ones I know are Chinese).

3 weeks without glasses, I saw the ratings on Unilocal,I would definitely agree with Unilocalers. Don & Vee were both very helpful and wonderful people that helped me pick out my glasses. With the budget that I had they were able to help me with affordable frame and lenses. I went to Costco they said 7 – 10 days I got my glasses in just a couple of days.
Thank you, you guys are a life saver, I’m able to see now. Going to save up again and buy another pair of glasses just in case, I will definitely come back here to get my glasses.
Please stop by this location, wonderful people and wonderful service provided here.
Thank you again very much appreciated,
Don & Vee

When I broke my fav Hobie Aviator sunglasses I had no idea where to go. Costco no longer carried the style, also they don’t do repairs. But they did direct me to Blue Ribbon on the border of Daly City & SF, and for this I am extremely grateful.
Ron and his wife are extremely customer centric, as Ron takes great pride in his work. Ron is a rare professional that will take time to get to know his customers and their needs. I had severed the arm of the sunglasses, Ron said he would try his best but couldn’t promise, thus when I received a call to pick up the glasses I was excited.
I couldn’t believe what an amazing job Ron did. They looked better than new. He welded both arms back on the frame (which made sense, since one broke off the other was sure to follow) replaced the nose pads and re-​coated the frames with bronze. Ron did all of this for an amount that was less than I was willing to pay.
I highly recommend Ron and Blue Ribbon to any anyone seeking old fashion quality service and craftsmanship!

They are very professional optometrists! Both Ron and Vee are extremely friendly. This is simply the best Optometrist’s I’ve ever been to. They are up to date with the technology. I came here to adjust my eyeglasses twice and both times I left extremely happily! Keep up your GREAT WORK Ron and Vee!

Amazing service. The husband and wife duo made me feel very comfortable and welcome as they were helping me out with my glasses. I took my plastic frames to get nose pads added on and was extremely satisfied with the results. They’re so friendly and made sure I was happy with the results. I would definitely come back to them next time I’m in town.

Blue Ribbon is great, Ron is great, prices are reasonable. You can’t do wrong going here. My glass rims were busted. He slapped my lens into a new frame lickty=split, and I was out of there.

I’m just blown away by what great service Ron Enriquez provides. I have a border collie who must be on Ron’s payroll. About twice a year he manages to get hold of my glasses and chew up the arms. The first time that happened I thought the frames were ruined. But Costco recommended Ron, and he did an absolutely great job of replacing the arms and making the glasses new again. He’s also a great guy to talk to. It’s a really professional and feel-​good service.
