Five Stars -- Truly Exceptional Experience
I had an outstanding experience at Opt Optometric's Palm Springs location, and
I couldn't be happier with the results.
I've always struggled to find glasses that fit comfortably because I have a larger bridge, and most places rush the process or recommend styles that don't suit me. But Todd Bauer changed that. He took the time to really assess fit, explain options, and guide me toward frames I never would have considered on my own, the Moscot Lemtosh. I trusted his expertise, and I'm so glad I did. The fit is perfect, the color suits me, and I've already received so many compliments.
Todd also helped me choose the right progressive lenses and transition tint. Again, with absolutely no pressure or upselling. The combination he recommended is spot on: comfortable, functional, and stylish.
From start to finish, the experience was personal, thoughtful, and above and beyond any optical appointment I've had before. Todd's expertise, patience, and genuine approach made the whole process enjoyable.
If you're looking for quality service, someone who cares about getting it right, and an experience that feels customized rather than transactional, go see Todd Bauer at Opt Optometric in Palm Springs.
Highly recommend.


We have been patients of OPT Optometric for over 10 years, originally at their San Francisco location, and we are so happy to continue our care at the Palm Springs office.
Todd is hands down the best glasses stylist anywhere--his eye for style, fit, and what actually looks great on you is unmatched. He makes choosing glasses easy and fun, and we always leave feeling confident in our choices.
Dr. Tawill is amazing--thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. You never feel rushed, and you always feel like you're in excellent hands.
OPT Optometric sets the standard for eye care. Professional, stylish, and truly patient-focused. We wouldn't go anywhere else.
I had such a great experience at OPT Optometric in Palm Springs that I had to share it. Dr. Tawil is incredibly thorough and patient -- the kind of person who actually takes the time to explain what's going on with your eyes instead of rushing you through. And the optician, Todd, is absolutely fantastic. He has this really intuitive sense of style and face shape, and he makes the whole process of choosing frames feel fun instead of overwhelming.
Their eyewear selection is exceptional. I've gotten Jacques Marie Mage and Thierry Lasry frames here, and they're honestly some of the best I've ever owned -- beautifully made, super comfortable, and people constantly compliment them. It's rare to find a place that nails both the medical side and the style side, but OPT really does.
I've been going to OPT for ages at their San Francisco location, so trusting them is second nature to me at this point -- their sense of style has always been spot-on, and I've never once left with a pair of glasses I didn't love.
Highly recommend them if you want thoughtful care and genuinely amazing eyewear.
My wife and I have been loyal customers of OPT Optometric since around 2018, starting at their San Francisco location. That's where I got my very first pair of glasses to help with computer work. I worked with Dr. Philip Tawil, who was fantastic at walking me through the first four years of rapidly changing prescription needs.
However, the real reason we've remained loyal--and now fly to Palm Springs--is the Optician, Todd Bauer.
Todd is an eyewear stylist supreme who consistently upgraded our look and kept us fashionable. He has an incredible eye for picking out glasses like no one else. Choosing a new look can be overwhelming, but Todd makes it easy, relaxed, and fun. It's always a great conversation that ends with another amazing set of eyewear that just feels "right."
We were sad to hear Todd was moving to the Palm Springs location, but we were not deterred! Palm Springs is an easy flight from San Francisco, and we now fly down specifically to have him walk us through new frame options. That is how much we trust and respect his opinion. We can't imagine doing it without him and have introduced him to several family members and friends over the years.
If you are looking for glasses and want an optician who makes the entire process fun and delivers stunning results, go see Todd Bauer at OPT Optometric Palm Springs!
I've been going to OPT for over 5 years--starting at their San Francisco location and now visiting the Palm Springs store since Todd moved there. Todd is absolutely the best at helping you choose frames that perfectly complement your face and style. I've gotten so many compliments on every pair of glasses I've purchased from OPT--literally for years after!
Dr. Tawil is also wonderful--warm, personable, and with fantastic taste in eyewear. You can tell everyone at OPT truly cares about both quality and customer experience. I actually look forward to my eye appointments and picking out new glasses every time I visit. Todd and Dr. Tawil are a delight, and you will not be disappointed!
Like many others leaving reviews, I've been loyal since the SF days, purchasing my first pair in 2017. I was hooked. Since then it's been an annual ritual where I get a new style and can count on Todd to help me look great. These days the ritual has evolved to include a trip to PS. Todd will find glasses that match your vibe and facial features and won't shy away from giving you a strong opinion. Which is great. We all need honesty when it comes to styling. Truly a gem of a place, with gems of humans. No pushyness, just honesty, down to earthness and a lot of laughs.
My wife and I visit Palm Springs often, and we always make it a point to stop by OPT Optometric while we're in town. The new location is beautiful, easy to get to, and has super convenient parking, but what really makes it special is Todd.
We've known Todd since the early days at OPT SF, and it's great seeing him running the Palm Springs location now. He's got an incredible eye for style and always helps us find frames that fit perfectly and stand out. Whether you're after something affordable or a statement pair that no one else will have, he'll find the right one for you.
It's always a bonus when we run into Dr. Tawil down here too, always personable and sharp, even offering local tips like the best time to go to Paul Bar. Every visit feels like catching up with friends, and somehow we always end up leaving with a new pair of frames.
If you're in Palm Springs, definitely stop in to say hi to Todd and check out the selection.
When we used to live in San Francisco, Opt was our friendly neighborhood eyewear shop and clinic. We are so happy Opt opened a branch in Palm Springs. They have a great selection of Jacque Marie Mage frames, Dita, and other luxury eyewear. Todd is an awesome optician who provides a bespoke experience in selecting the best eyewear for each individual. We always to forward to seeing Todd every time we require new frames.
