I received a very thorough eye exam (probably the most thorough one I've ever received) by Dr. Chan this morning. With a family history of eye related conditions, I appreciated his thoroughness and feedback throughout the exam.
The studio is very conveniently located in Back Bay next to Starbucks. Dr. Chan and his office assistant proactively brought up my health insurance coverage and contact lens rebate for the best deal. They also price match contacts with places like Costco. I wasn't sure of my FSA balance and they made sure to charge what they could to my card. Overall, great experience

Would have given zero starts if that was an option. I purchased a pair of glasses here but never received them. I started calling after a few weeks and was told that the lenses the lab made didn't pass quality control and to be remade. A week and half later I was told they were finishing up the lenses at the lab. 6 weeks later, still no glasses and now they tell me the lab damaged the frame and the frame is no longer available. Every step of the way through this process I have had to call and email for a status update even through Dr. Chan said he'd keep me up-to-date. He never did. Meanwhile

With Dr. Chan, it's really the small things that come together to create an exceptional experience. I came here for an eye exam over two years ago, and he still remembered me. Although I just came here for a renewed prescription, he took the time to thoroughly examine my eyes for any possible issues. Unlike some other doctors who will run multiple procedures without telling the patient what they are doing, Dr. Chan will take care to explain every step of what he is doing, and will willingly answer any questions. This may seem like a norm for any optometrist, but I have yet to see any optometrist

This review is only for the appalling service offered by Dr. Chan's assistant (bearded hipster with thick frames) and not for a review of Chan's eye exam although I would say his explanations and answers for your questions are thorough and I believe his services during the exams are exemplary like from most capable optometrists but I did not understand the ins and outs of what is actually performed during the exam (5 stars).
Today (5/4/17), I asked his assistant about the likelihood of misaligned frames due to the incorrect lenses sizing after the lenses creation process (I got it made

I've been going to Dr. Chan for years. He is very thorough w/ his exam. I never feel as though the exam is rushed, and he answers any questions I have with thought and care. The office location is convenient for me...it's a block from the Arlington St. T Stop. I usually order my contacts through him and they always come in quickly. I would recommend Dr. Chan to anyone looking for an optometrist.

I had a really great experience with Dr. Chan. He explained everything he was doing very thoroughly and my eye exam was about 40 minutes long. The optician downstairs was very nice and patient even though I spent a long time choosing a pair of glasses, which I didn't purchase that day. I am definitely recommending studio optics to others!

I saw Dr. Chan earlier this month for an eye exam (glasses and contact lenses) and he was great!! He was detailed, thorough and you can tell he knew his technical chops around the job.
The staff was great too as they greeted me, informed me my appointment was running on time. They even emailed me the new patient paperwork beforehand, which made the process and appointment even more seamless.
I will definitely be back and recommend him!

Studio Optics is well worth the 5 stars and more. At first I thought I'd be there for hours sifting through various styles to find the right fit however Breno was exceedingly helpful with my selection. You can tell instantly that Breno is a man of great style so I did not question when he pulled out a couple frames for me within a matter of seconds. Every single one of them I fell in love with. They were all flattering and a perfect fit for my face. He eliminated the scary part of finding a style, all that was left was choosing a color combination. I chose a color that would go best with almost

I went to see Dr. Chan four times over two years, and each time, during the eye exam, he did not spend more than five minutes with me. He had his interns do all the work. Instead of using a phoropter (that thing with the multiple lenses that the optometrist flips back and forth to test your vision), he had his interns open a wooden case and HOLD UP LENSES and ask me how well I saw! I asked the young intern why she didn't use the more sophisticated equipment, and she said that Dr. Chan had told her the handheld method was "more accurate." You can guess how easy it is to gauge

A trip to Studio Optics will be worth your time. I've been wearing Warby's and wanted an upgrade. Dr. Chen was referred to me by a friend. He's got a great selection of quality eyewear. Breno, the optician, took hours with me trying on frames. He suggested a style I would have never chosen for myself. I couldn't get used to the progressive lens from my prescription. I went back to get a single vision lens and was willing to pay for them and they just took care of me. Where do you get service like that these days. If you're looking for new specs drop by and check them out

I was able to get an appointment same day at the time I wanted! The examination was very thorough. Dr Chan seemed very concerned that I had fallen and hit my face a few days prior and did a lot of extra tests on my eyes to make sure the fall hadn't harmed them. He was incredibly nice every step of the way. Best eye doctor I've ever seen!
Then when I went to get my glasses the staff was very friendly as well. He fixed my glasses without my asking (noticing I had taped them together after they broke from my fall) and helped me select a new pair. He even called my insurance for me to ask

Had a great customer service experience here which already had me go back and spend $400.
I went to Dr Chan for an eye exam. When I was ready to pay and didn't remember my eye insurance info, the desk clerk tried every single major insurance company until she found me and was able to charge them and only have me pay a $25 co-pay. Very impressive.
Went back last week and bought a $400 paid of Oliver People's eyeglasses.

I've been seeing Dr. Chan for almost 10 years, and yes he can be a bit brusque, but he's really good at eye exams. He caught a condition I had originally diagnosed in Colorado and no other clinician has ever caught it.
I trust him so much he now sees the rest of my family and sorted out one of my daughters prescription issue. Fully recommend Studio Optics. And he price matches too

I was on vacation and had an eye issue and stopped by this office. I guess a warning sign should have been that his office was totally dead on a Saturday afternoon...
Maybe it's because I'm from the south but Dr. Chen seemed to have zero interest in helping my eye situation. His first question was about my insurance. He was all business in examining me and it came across pretty rude. I won't go back because I don't live here but if I did I'd "OPT" (ha ha pun intended) for someone else.

I checked this place out because of the location to my office and I am in need of new prescription for my contacts ASAP (literally wearing my last pair of contacts on my eyes as we speak).
The staff was pleasant. Jonathon was really nice and helpful on the phone scheduling my appointment.
The place is located in Back Bay, Boston. It's very similar to our office building-- old and historic. They seem to have a great selection of glasses on the first floor, which is where you fill out paperwork.
On the second floor is the exam room. Before the eye exam, Dr. Chan asks if I had any concerns

You could see me as one of 3 ways: last-minute, spontaneous, or just plain awesome. In any case, I called one late Saturday morning with some generic questions regarding cost and insurance. It wasn't his job, but Dr. Chan actually looked everything up for me and explained my policy. Then, I asked if I could walk-in, and yatta yatta yatta, I was on my way there 15 minutes later.
30 minutes. In the door. New patient forms. Eye and contact lenses exam. Out the door. Boom.
Dr. Chan was thorough, yet efficient. He explained the different exams and what I should expect prior to shining different
