We are thrilled to announce that Urban Optiks Optometry has once again been awarded "Best Optometrists in San Diego" by the discerning readers of San Diego Uptown & Downtown News. This affirmation of excellence has been a consistent honor, with our practice receiving the Best Optometrists award every year since 2009 from San Diego Uptown News and every year since 2015 from San Diego Downtown News.


This recognition extends beyond a single individual; it's a testament to the dedication and expertise of our entire team, led by owner Dr. Gary A. Klein. We express our deepest gratitude to our loyal patients, customers, and the community for this humbling acknowledgment.


A Legacy of Excellence


In 2008, Dr. Gary A. Klein founded Urban Optiks Optometry with a clear mission: to provide unparalleled eyecare and eyewear to the San Diego community. Over the years, our practice has evolved, harnessing cutting-edge examination and lens technology, curating an extraordinary collection of premium eyewear, and delivering an exceptional customer experience all in a unique boutique setting not found elsewhere in San Diego.


Differentiated Care


What sets Urban Optiks apart is our commitment to a personalized, one-on-one experience with our optometrists. Unlike many other optometry offices where pre-testing is often performed by techs, our doctors handle the entire exam process. This approach allows ample time for patients to interact with the doctor, ask questions, and receive thorough explanations of any findings or treatment plans.


Our tech-forward approach ensures a complete digital exam experience using the latest in examination technology. We believe in staying ahead of the curve to provide our patients with the best possible care.


A Fusion of Fashion, Technology, and Expertise


Urban Optiks Optometry is not just a place for eye care; it's an experience that fuses fashion, technology, and expertise. Our professionals are passionate about delivering high-quality care to our family of patients. We understand the impact that eye health can have on the quality of life, and we are dedicated to servicing all your eye care needs with excellence.


With over 40 years of clinical and business expertise, Dr. Klein, his Associate Doctors, and our highly skilled optical staff have crafted an unparalleled patient experience characterized by comfort, compassion, and professionalism.


Gratitude and Acknowledgment


To our patients, customers, and the entire San Diego community, we extend our heartfelt thanks. Your trust and support have been the driving force behind our success. As we celebrate this recognition, we recommit ourselves to providing exceptional eye care that exceeds all expectations.


Urban Optiks Optometry is not just a place to maintain your eye health; it's a destination where fashion meets technology, and expertise meets compassion. Thank you for choosing us and for being a part of the Urban Optiks family! We look forward to continuing our journey of excellence in eye care with you.
