Optometry at SKEYE
Experience doctor-led eye care designed around your lifestyle. Whether you're looking for a quick, technology-enabled eye exam while shopping or comprehensive dry eye and specialty care, SKEYE makes exceptional vision care more accessible than ever.
Where Eye Health Meets Beauty
Every exam at SKEYE goes beyond reading a chart. We assess the full health of your eyes, screen for dry eye, and tailor your prescription — all in a calm, design-forward setting that feels nothing like a waiting room.
Now we see patients two ways: full-service in person on Melrose, and through doctor-led remote exams available at all of our eye care studios. Same doctors. Same standards. Two ways to come see us.
Two models. One standard of care.

Remote, never impersonal.
Our virtual exams use the same doctors and the same clinical standards as In person clinic — just delivered through a smarter setup. Here's what a visit looks like:
1 · Come in to Remote Clinic
A SKEYE technician greets you in our Eye Care Studio and captures your measurements and ocular imaging on advanced diagnostic equipment.
2 · Meet your doctor, live
Your licensed SKEYE optometrist reviews everything and examines you in real time over secure, private video — answering your questions exactly as they would in the room.
3 · Leave with your plan
Your prescription is finalized, your lenses are fitted, and your next steps are set before you walk out.
It's a full doctor's exam — built for how people actually live on the go.

SAME DAY COLORED CONTACT LENS EXAMS
Unlock a world of color with a SKEYE colored contact lens prescription. At both Melrose and Old Pasadena, we carry FDA-cleared Hapa Kristin lenses on-site — so in most cases you can be fitted and leave the same day.
If your contact lens prescription is current, we offer an expedited colored contact fitting at a reduced fee. If it's expired, a full contact lens exam comes first. Either way, the goal is a safe, comfortable fit — and a same-day look whenever possible.
