I’m a recent transplant from Florida to Phoenix Arizona and I’m an avid pickleball player. Through some new friends in pickleball, I was referred to Lakeshore Optical. I’ve been reluctant in my older age to realize my eyesight isn’t what it used to be. After an informative eye exam by Dr. John Castro, I finally realized I needed glasses. Alan Singer relentlessly showed me glasses after glasses as I was very particular as to how I looked with glasses. I finally chose two pairs of glasses that I felt comfortable with. I then sat with Zach Singer who informed me of the lens options and what is covered with my insurance. Zach was very professional and knowledgeable of the process. I also found out the business is family owned and they have been in the optical business for four generations 🙏

I had a wonderful experience thanks to Zach! He was incredibly friendly, patient, and genuinely took the time to help me find the perfect pair of glasses. He listened to what I was looking for, offered great suggestions, and never made me feel rushed. On top of that, he had a great sense of humor and made the whole experience enjoyable. Outstanding customer service from start to finish. Thank you, Zach, for making what can sometimes be a stressful process so easy and fun. I absolutely love my new glasses!
