Along with evaluating your eye health, we seriously take time to listen to your visual concerns and together develop the best solution for your unique visual needs. 

Dr. Larry Harrison has been providing expert eyecare services to adults and children in the Bay Area for over 20 years.   Royce Kakar has over 16 years of experience in helping you select the best looking frame and in also designing the lightest and most comfortable eyewear you've ever had!

We offer not only a wide variety of traditional eyewear but also those not-so-common distinctive and unique frame companies.  We consistently pursue emerging frame brands who dedicate themselves to quality and style from around the globe. In addition, many of our frame brands are exclusvie to our office here in Marin.

Early exams for children are especially important before preschool to make sure there are no visual problems interfering with their learning like amblyopia which needs to be detected early in life to correct.

We are happy to provide free eye exams for your child under about 14 years old. If you cannot afford eyeglasses for your child under about 14 yrs old, just mention that to Royce and we will provide free eyeglasses along with a free eye exam.

We look for early detection of eye diseases. Among many potential eye health issues, we always evaluate the eye for diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration.  Any recent floaters in your eye need to be evaluated to be sure it's merely normal aging versus a retinal hole or detachment needing urgent care.  About one half of all detached retinas are preventable by locating small retinal holes during your eye exam and laser sealing them.

When appropriate, we also prescribe medications for eye infections, dry eyes, blepharitis and allergy issues. We are contact lens specialists and fit all types of contact lenses including multifocal contacts and contacts for astigmatism.

Our free 2 year eyeglass warranty covers both your frame and lenses for any breakage or scratches for whatever the reason. We will replace them absolutely free. You also have the freedom of 90 days to decide if you changed your mind and would rather have another frame. 

San Anselmo Optometry uses only the highest quality optical prescription lenses. Using high index lenses and high quality anti-reflection lens coatings may make your lenses the thinnest and clearest ever.

We specialize in solutions for digital eye strain and optimization for creating clear and enduring visual comfort and reducing eye strain especially at computer work environments.

We use only the very best patented progressive designs from companies like Hoya, Shamir and Zeiss to insure optimal adaptation and widest reading area. All prescription lenses, clear and sunglasses, at San Anselmo Optometry are fabricated with UV (ultra-violet) absorption to protect your eyes from potential harm.
