I patronized this practice thanks to a referral from a friend, but I will never EVER return. Dr. Dossa's primary concern appears to be generating revenue through frame sales vs. providing high quality and high touch patient care. At the start of our visit, when she asked me about my current frames, she visibly recoiled when I showed her my Warby Parker frames. She literally refused to touch them, saying "These frames just break all the time." Sure, doc. That's why Warber Parker stores are all over the country. Her elitist view of her eco-friendly (but aesthetically a HOT MESS) frames translates into refusing to check on any other pairs of glasses, which is the first time in my 45 years of wearing glasses that I've had this experience. Optometrists should be checking your eyewear--irrespective of brand. To boot: It was clear that Dr. Dossa never read my patient files prior to my first or second visit. I have a fairly uncommon condition (retinal deposits) and when I reminded here of this, she tried to upsell me on a random diagnostic test (again, the first time in my 40+ years that this has been the case), and further implored that I consider the needs of her other patients and their end-of-year flex spending needs by pushing out this "threshold exam," until the new year. Really? Friends, let me say that: Black Eyesight Matters. Why the hell do I need to wait on my test because of your end of year patient rush? Once again: it's clear that Dr. Dossa is only interested in providing services that translate to a cash grab. I was dismayed when I realized that during my first appointment last year, she never dilated my eyes (again, a standard service). Additionally, there were other diagnostic tests for peripheral acuity (visual field tests) and the autorefractor assessment hat she refused to perform. This was an invaluable learning lesson. The next time I detect bias--as I did within the first five minutes of my appointment--I will simply walk out.

I’m a big fan of Lunette du Monde. Excellent care by Dr Dossa and Val and the optician, also the scheduling staff is friendly and efficient. Dr Dossa explained what the inside of my eye looks like and how I can help maintain healthy eyes. I have been a patient with their office for many years.

Lunettes du Monde is a welcome asset on Fourth Street to which I am happy to refer my friends and neighbors. A copious selection of frames to suit every taste—something for every face. Dr. Faiza has provided me with the best and most thorough eye examinations. She is able and willing to explain the health status of your eyes. Her staff is welcoming, cordial, and knowledgeable. Five stars!

Apr 13, 2023
I really feel they went the extra mile to make me feel heard and special, not trying to rush through things to get a bunch of patients in and out. I was able to ask all of my questions and voice concerns, plenty of time to browse at frames. I’m really glad I picked this practice

The service is always excellent!

I would give Dr Dossa 10 stars if I could. She is a superb optometrist who listens carefully, is compassionate and truly cares about her patients. I have complicated vision problems and her expertise has helped me address them in a pro-active way. Simply said; she is the best optometrist I have ever seen and I can't imagine a better one. Her staff is highly skilled and the office is comfortable and welcoming.

Professional, knowledgeable and caring business

Dr. Dossa and her colleagues are all great. The practice is characterized by professionalism, kindness, expertise, courtesy, and efficiency. I've been trusting my eyesight to Dr. Dossa since she took over the practice at Lunettes du Monde, and I always leave my appointments feeling confident that no one could be more thorough or knowledgeable about all things optometric. Plus, she's as nice as can be. The shop's options for frames, etc. are extensive and up to date, and the office is comfortable and inviting. In short, IMO, Lunettes du Mondes is as good as it gets for optometry.

Dr. Dossa and her staff are great! They are patient and very friendly and will help you decide the best course of action for your eyes.

What a lovely experience! I am always a bit anxious when visiting a new doctor, but was so thankful for my experience with Dr. Dossa and and the opticians at Lunettes du Monde Optometry. Dr. Dossa is wonderful, and treated my acute eye symptoms with the urgency that was needed. She was kind, knowledgeable and extremely helpful by referring me to an opthamologist for a possible surgical remedy. Her staff is lovely as well. Very friendly and personable, which I really appreciated. It’s so hard to find a genuinely nice and talented doctor right now, so I consider myself lucky I found her on Yelp!

Great service! Highly recommend.

Dr. Dossa is the absolute best!! We are lucky to have her in the Bay Area. Personable, professional and caring every time you visit. Been going there for years and continue to recommend friends and family to visit her.
Feb 27, 2022
Every single person that works here are just the nicest people you’ll ever interact with. From Dr. Faiza to Val and Bill on the floor you can’t ask for a better team to help you with your optical needs. No pushy sales vibe just friendly and attentive to your needs. The frame selection is always changing and always eccentric here. You get what you pay for. It’s quality from top to bottom. I love patronizing this place and it’s like seeing old friends everytime I walk in the door.

We have moved across the bay into SF but still make the journey back to Berkeley to put our eyes in the very capable care of Dr. Dossa and her wonderful team. We appreciate the thorough, expert care and the hands-on, professional and friendly assitance through their well stocked and curated collection of unique and stylish frames.
Aug 1, 2021
Excellent service, excellent care, excellent selection of frames!
Jul 25, 2021
Your eyes are too important to go to the fastest cheapest option. The doctor takes time, does imaging for future use if needed, explains options, even addresses nutrition. Strongly recommend.

Dr. Dossa is fantastic. Her warm and friendly demeanor rivals her excellent, meticulous diagnostic expertise. You are putting the health of your eyes in very good hands under her care. Additionally, her office is professional and responsive, and the selection of eyewear is fabulous. Her staff will find you the perfect frames and fit them to you beautifully.

Dr. Dossa and team are the BEST. I just had my yearly eye exam, and they took every precaution to keep the staff and me safe during COVID. Dr. Dossa took her time, and explained everything to me without me feeling rushed. They always welcome me back like an old friend, and even offered to contact the company that makes my current pair of glasses to see if they can fix the chipped coating on my frame.
Sep 21, 2020
I went during the coronavirus pandemic. They checked my temperature as soon as I arrived. Hand sanitizer was available and all staff modeled the appropriate measures. The office was bright, clean and organized. The staff are professional and polite. Dr. Dossa was very welcoming and explained what she was doing each step of the way. All of your information could be accessed through a secure online portal. A professional and welcoming practice.
Sep 3, 2020
Dr. Dossa is fabulous. Always gives a thorough and thoughtful exam. The office is lovely with lots of new gorgeous frames. Recommend Dr.Dossa for a one stop shop for eye care and eye wear!
Aug 27, 2020
This was my first time seeing Dr. Dossa and I could not have been more impressed. She carefully took my history, explained all of the tests she was performing and what that meant for my vision. She even consulted my insurance coverage to make sure I was receiving my maximum benefits. They have a wonderful selection of independent frame manufacturers and a super friendly team who helped me pick out the perfect shape for my face. Above that, they took all the necessary precautions against COVID-19 and I felt safe and well-taken care of. I highly recommend Lunettes de Monde and will definitely be returning.
Aug 22, 2020
Dr. Dossa and her staff are excellent and work so hard and patiently with my non-cooperative eye sight!
Aug 14, 2020
Dr. Dossa and her staff provide superb service. I moved out of the bay area but I am a returning costumer because they do my glasses right the first time.
Aug 7, 2020
Dr. Dossa and her staff are the most personable and knowledgeable total eye care professionals anyone could ask for. After several years of visits they almost feel like extended family. Her selection of eyewear is cutting edge and offers many style variations. We couldn’t ask for any better care and attention. Her exams are thorough and my glasses have always been properly fit and prescribed.

Feb 14, 2020
Exemplary service in every way from Dr. Dossa and the gang at Lunettes du Monde Optometry - in professional knowledge and skill in eye examination, choosing/fitting glasses, thoroughly explaining steps during eye exam, guiding through insurance coverage; and very friendly greetings and rapport all around. Lunettes gives an experience one can trust and enjoy which makes it a very top choice in my book.
Feb 11, 2020
I was delighted about all parts of my visit. The staff is gracious and highly professional. Dr. Dosa is perfect. She's highly competent, has terrific interpersonal skills, is attuned to patient needs and concerns, and cares about her patients as individuals. Her attention to the smallest details shows that she is an ethical provider--an ethical person.

I used to hate going yo the eye doctor not wanting anyone to mess around my eyes but Dr Dossa is very gentle, kind, reassuring and explains everything she does and sees to my satisfaction and her staff is wonderful!!! I would highly recommend this team of professionals.

My family and I love our experience with Lunettes du Monde! The staff is warm, friendly and super knowledegable. Their selection of frames is so unique and exciting. They are talented match-makers.

Fantastic service and frame selection! Highly recommended!
Oct 7, 2019
Service has been excellent for several years with the result that I have excellent vision. I have confidence that this will continue as iDr. Dossa and her staff check for possible changes and anticipate needs so that they can be addressed.
Aug 13, 2019
Dr. Dosa and her whole team are wonderful. I've been buying my glasses and getting my eyes checked here for many years, and it was a very smooth transition when the Schletters retired (the former doctor and his wife who ran the place). I ALWAYS get compliments on my glasses, and always have, since purchasing them here. Dr. Dosa's exams are thorough and thoughtful. And whenever I buy new glasses her team is incredibly patient and so helpful in finding just the right shape and fit. I've had small issues with my glasses (as they came straight from the maker), and Lunettes du Monde always makes it right.

My wife and I live in Arcata CA but choose to use the services of Dr Doza at Lunettes du Monde because of the great patient service that Dr Dossa and her staff provides. Lunettes du Monde also has a fantastic stock of eye glass frames to chose from. The frame selection is so amazing. For years I have had people compliment me on the frames I wear.
Apr 11, 2019
I absolutely loved your staff from the minute I walked in the door! Dr. Dossa was so wonderful and very easy to talk with. I walked in without an appointment and was seen in just a few minutes. I have nothing but high regards for her professionalism and will recommend her to everyone. The frame selection is phenomenal! I was a client of Dr. Schletter's for 9 years, and feel Dr. Dossa is maintaining the same quality of service,and more.
Apr 12, 2015
I am so very pleased to be working with Dr. Dossa and her staff. They are wonderful and know what they are doing.
