A Legacy of Craftsmanship Since 1930
Phoenix Optical began in 1930, when Isabel Ascher and her sister Rae Weinberg started designing and handcrafting glasses. What started as a small family passion grew into a legacy that continues to shape eyewear nearly a century later.
Serving the Bay Area for Over 60 Years
For more than four decades, we’ve proudly served the Bay Area. Many of our loyal customers followed us from our original Berkeley shop on Shattuck Avenue to our current Rockridge location in Oakland.
Every new chapter has been guided by one goal: to offer exceptional eyewear, personal service, and make people feel truly seen.
We are deeply grateful to the communities that have supported us over the generations.
