Who We Are

Our History

My family has been seeing Dr. Henry Rodgin for ten years, and I hope to keep doing so for at least ten more. He's friendly and extremely knowledgable, but even more importantly, his care compromises nothing between long-term health and well-fitted eyewear.

On one occasion, he even squeezed me in during office hours for an emergency exam and an eye drop prescription. Two years later, he looked back at the charts and asked if the condition ever recurred. You really can't ask for a better all-around eye physician.

Plan on meeting good, hard working people who have been employees for decades. They care for your eyes, but they also, truly, care about you. Great glasses, contacts selections.

I second the remarks on Dr. Rodgin's professionalism and empathy. I have been coming here for eye tests and glasses for about 20 years now, The equipment he uses has improved a great deal, as you would expect, but his professional manner is as good as it ever was. Plus, I can report that before a repeat visit he actually looks at the records of the past visits - which is something not all medical professionals do.

I had an appointment to check my vision, and or need for glasses. They were on time, courteous, and professional. Dr.Henry Rodkin is truly as good and as qualified as his awards and credentials on the wall attest to.
I will certainly go back there for my next visit.

Have been seeing Dr Rodgin for few years now and brought several members of the family in too. He is a great OD doctor looking out for eye health and best of the 'large asian practices' which are anti-septic and error prone.

Giving a 5* review because he stands by his work, axis of my glasses were wrong and fixed at no charge to me. Also he corrected a difficult standing desk prescription that one of above large asian practices nearby gave.

I've been going here for years. The staff is friendly. Dr Rodgin takes his time and explains everything to me. He helps keep prices down, and even helped me minimize the cost when I, a long term customer, was out of work.

Dr. Rodgin and Regina have been awesome!! I've been coming here since I was 7 years old and they're always so helpful. Dr. Rodgins is always comforting about the different machines in there especially the air blowing one always makes me nervous. Haha! He always asks how I'm doing in my life and all. Regina is awesome too! She is always very helpful in choosing my glasses and makes sure it's covered by my insurance :)

Dr Henry rodgin is one of the best I've ever seen he's very knowledgeable helpful and friendly you want a personal service go see him not Costco doctors I have been going there for the past 25 years well done doctor!

Four members of my family been patients of Dr Rodgin for close to 20 years. We always received an excellent service. I love the fact that not only he but his front desk stuff are very knowledgeable and consistent ( and stay with him for all these years ). I referred countless friends to him.

Dr. Rodgin is a wonderfully hospitable and kind man who happens to be an optometrist. I've been going for years now and always have a laugh-filled, educational experience. A rarity when it comes to this particular industry. If you're looking for a personable experience which brings you quality interaction with a true professional, I couldn't recommend Optivision more. The negative reviews on this page are from people who had problems with the lens manufacturer or frames manufacturer. They're not discussing Rodgin's "bedside manner" which is a straight 10/10. You can't go wrong here.

Our My family and I have been going to see Dr. Rodgin for about the past 15 years. From eye appointments and vision tests to filling my prescription eyeglasses, we have always received excellent care and precision. He is a wonderful optometrist and his office has a really good range of selection of eyewear.

From eye appointments and vision tests to filling my prescription eyeglasses, we have always received excellent care and precision. He is a wonderful optometrist and his office has a really good range of selection of eyewear. family has relied on Dr Rodgin's vision care for 17 years, with excellent results. He is exceedingly professional and knowledgeable, and in addition is polite, kind, and personable. When my husband's lasik surgery by an eye surgeon resulted in a painful scratched cornea, it was Dr Rodgin who managed his healing and recovery beautifully. Dr Rodgin explains what he's doing, and what his tests measure. He has made himself available whenever we have had questions, needed tests or check ups, or new prescriptions. He remembers people, keeps meticulous records, and his office staff are highly efficient and polite. His equipment and methods are the same as the big medical centers, but his interaction style is head and shoulders above the others. I will not see anyone else for my eyes. I trust him.

Doctor Rodgin is a fine optometrist. He's been taking care of my eyes now for about 6 years now and zero problems. I only wish I had found him sooner. He carries top name brand frames, and I need trifocals, so it might be difficult to find something I like. But I never seem to have a problem finding glasses that flatter my face or fit my prescription. And I get the works, progressives, transgressions, the computer lenses. It's all good! Dr. Rodgin makes sure my glasses are perfect. AND--if something happens to your glasses (breakage, damage, etc) they might even be covered by warranty. Full service eye care, worth the trip from Corralitos.

I have been going to Optivision and seeing Dr. Henry Rodgin for many years. I just recently had an appointment with him to get new glasses. I have very special frames called Minimas. I got my original frame from him a long time ago. i have another pair of Minimas for reading too. So far I haven't found anyone other optical place that can work on these frames. I get so many compliments on these frames. Optivision is the best. My glasses came out great, and he even made a couple of tweaks on my reading and sunglasses for me. The staff is professional, while being very personable. I go to the office, even though it's a distance from my house, because I've had such great care there. I highly recommend Optivision and Dr. Henry Rodgin.

Dr Rodgin has been my family doctor for more than 15 years , always very professional and courteous . His exams are right on and never had an issue .

Dr. Rodgin is terrific. I've been wearing contacts and glasses for 20+ years now. I have gone to a lot of optometrists in that time and been told by more than one that my eyes are beyond their abilities. Dr. Rodgin has the latest tools to precisely measure eyes and the skills to fit me with outstanding eyewear. Even when I moved out of the area (5 years in DC), I would be sure to make an appointment with Dr. Rodgin when back in the bay area.

Dr. Rodgin has been our family eye doctor for several years now. We switched to Dr. Rodgin from a popular chain of optometrists and opticians. Every time Dr. Rodin takes his time to understand and address our concerns and questions - very professionally and in a personable manner. The best we like in Dr.Rodgin is the importance he gives for what we feel - not just relying on his instruments. This is especially true with our kids - since our kids felt more comfortable with slightly lower prescription. I personally think Dr.Rodgin is a geek (and being one makes it more appealing), and he was never hesitant to share details about his new toys. Especially, the recent gadget he had let him take a picture of my retina without requiring dilation!!
Dr.Rodgin's staff is courteous and helpful in scheduling appointments and helping to get right pair of glasses. The only drawback with Dr. Rodgin's office is the limited window of his office hours - which makes it hard to visit him after or before work hours.

Fast efficient eye exams and the latest test equipment and, most important, the glasses turn out spot on. My whole family use Optivision for this reason.

Dr. Rodgin has been caring for my eyes for over 5 years now. He is very knowledgeable and always enthusiastic about answering questions. He is friendly and dedicated to making sure I am completely satisfied with his services and glasses. I am confident my eyes are in the best care available in the area.

Best Optician in the area. I switched insurance a couple of years back and had to visit a different highly rated optician in Sunnyvale, I came back here since getting new insurance.

Don't let the office fool you, the contrast is staggering. Dr. Rodgin is incredibly friendly and patient, he explained everything and even helped me understand the tests he was doing on my eyes. After extensive testing and making sure he got it just right he gave me the right prescription. He even walked me through how to get the best deal on contacts and glasses per my insurance's coverage. As it turns out my previous optician had given me the wrong one, probably due to the hurry he was in during all of my eye exams. I wouldn't trust any other doctor with my vision.

Dr. Rodgins is probably the best optometrist that I've ever been to. I've been seeing Dr. Rodgins for the past 10 years now. He's always taken the time to explain every procedure and result, he lets me know what the different risks are to my eyes as I age, and he always does it with a smile! The best thing about Dr. Rodgins is that he helps patients make the best and most informed decisions!

I have been going to Dr. Rodgin's for about 4 years now. I've had a couple eye check-ups there, and bought contact lenses. He's very thorough. Last time he took the time to explain to me in detail what each device does and how he determines whether an eye is healthy. I decided to get contact lenses. My contacts were ready for pick up the next day! Everything went very smoothly. Also he is quite friendly, and chats with you about life, and makes you feel comfortable in his office.

I've been seeing Dr Rodgin for 25 years now, and I've always been happy. My whole family sees him and he's practically an extended part of it. He and his staff go out of their way to make sure we're happy and have the right prescription, frames etc. Never been disappointed once in many many many visits.

Ihave been a customer for a few years now. At another local Optometrist, my daughter had been recommended for "eye therapy" which was going to cost a fortune. I wanted a second opinion. Dr. Rodgin was that second opinion. Dr. Rodgin got her into the right prescription and no expensive "eye therapy" 3 X's per week was needed.

Then, I started coming for myself. And, then my husband started seeing Dr. Rodgin.

What we like best is that he just knows his practice, and there's not a feeling of continuous up-selling. We just need to see! He explains, "this coating is going to cost you $120, do you want it? It's not necessary." And, then I can make an informed decision on what to buy, or not buy.

But, the real reason for this posting is that I was using readers with my contacts to work on the computer and to read. Once my contacts are out I can see up close without any problems. With my prescription glasses I simply take them off to read. I felt silly wearing contacts and readers, but I didn't think there was any other solution.

It turns out there is a solution, that Dr. Rodgin suggested last week. Different strength prescriptions for each eye. The dominant eye does the faraway vision. The other eye with a weaker prescription can see up close. With my contacts in I can safely drive, and I can read, and I can work on the computer without readers! It's really wonderful. I feel like I've been given my vision back!

Thank you Dr. Rodgin!

I have been going to Dr Rodgin for 26 years now and am extremely satisfied. Over the years, my wife, son and daughter have all been long term customers as well. Service is always prompt and Dr Rodgin has helped me manage through many eye issues, both big and small, and changing prescriptions over the years. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Dr Rodgin is a great eye dr. He's professional, friendly, flexible and works with his patients' specific needs. I was a patient for years, but when I moved I decided to find someone closer to me. I ended up coming back to Dr Rodgin because I felt he was worth the extra drive for good service. Also, he works with top quality specialists. When I had a torn retina one year he sent me to a very good dr who fixed me right up. Definitely recommend him.

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Rodgin since 1989. His examination room is well equipped with the latest technology, his diagnoses are thorough, and he fully explains how your eyes are doing. We have each transitioned though several prescription changes as the years have passed, and we have been highly pleased with the way the glasses he has prescribed have worked out. His staff women are professional and helpful.

Dr. Henry Rodgin is the best optometrist I have ever had! He is very polite and knowledgeable about everything. What also impresses me is that he always has the most advanced equipment and being from High Tech, I am very observant of new technology. I have had optometrists in the past that rush through my exam so fast and then the eye glasses do not even work for my eyes. Dr. Rodgin also has a very nice selection of frames from ones for young people to name brands and very sophisticated frames. He also has special contacts for people who like contacts as my friend who went to him said he loves his contacts from Dr. Rodgin. His service is wonderful and his assistants are very helpful. Their waiting room is nice with great new magazines for every interest. He is a caring optometrist as well. I live in Las Vegas now, and I still fly out to see only him at my optomotetrist. He also has many years of experience. Another interesting fact is that my mother's eye blood vessels were popping and she told me her optometrist said it was from allergies. I have had allergies all my life which Dr. Rodgin gave me a special prescription for my eyes for and my eye blood vessels have never popped in my life from my allergies. My mom's cardiologist said that she needed to be on blood pressure medication; however, she would not take it so she asked me to ask Dr. Henry Rodgin about her eyes and without even seeing her or knowing her story, he told me that was from her blood pressure problem. So, my mom listened to her cardiologist and takes her blood pressure medication and now her eye blood vessels do not pop.

Dr. Rodgin gave me the best eye exam I have ever had! He was extremely thorough, checking to make sure my eyes were healthy, and gave me glasses which gave me better vision than I've ever had before then. His staff was also polite, and helpful in choosing a frame. I am looking forward to returning to Dr. Rodgin next year for my eye exam!

I went to Dr. Rodgin when my previous doctor was completely unable to find a prescription that worked for me although I’d been with her for years. It was so bad I didn’t know how I’d past DVM. Dr. Rodgin came up with solutions so I can see long distance, the computer and reading! What a difference!
I appreciate Dr. Rodgins professionalism. He is very thorough checking my eye health, concerning himself with a family history of macular degeneration and cataracts. He listens well to any concerns and has had me checked more thoroughly for regina problems when I had some very persistent floaters that were bothering me. His hours are patient friendly and its easy to make an appointment. I never wait and his staff has been very helpful with frames selection and repair. My husband recommended that I go to Dr. Rodgin and we both trust him with our eyesight. Office is convenient to get to. So happy to have him looking after us!

I have been seeing Dr Rodgin for almost 30 years, he has always had the best temperament, equipment, and staff of any Optometrist I have used. YES Costco may be cheaper, but they are not going to learn your name and like and dislikes, nor call you to make sure everything is ok, like he has done when I had eye problems. I have always had the staff call when my glasses and contacts are ready. Normally within 1 week. If you don’t like or want a happy, smiling, caring professional, you can always go find someone else.
