The best sunglasses ever! Professional suggestions and really helpful recommendations. Love this place and definitely will comeback for new collection

The service was impeccable. Faye is so sweet and helpful. They have a beautiful display of stylish eyeglasses. I would recommend coming here based on selection and customer service alone. What better than to be greeted with an authentic smile?

They don't have a lot of good brands in there, Rayban and Tomis the only professional optical brand they carry. I bought a pair of Korean glasses which I later found out was waaaay over priced. They told me it's a famous Korean BRAND and charged me $198. But, later I couldn't find any information about the so called brand... When I asked them about this, they told me it's a famous Korean FACTORY... Well, I'm not someone who cares so much for a named brand, but I do understand, a brand name and design add a lot of money on the price tag. And with something that came straight out of a factory, $198 is definitely waaaay over priced. It is more expensive then well known brands like warby Parker, Mikita or Moscot. Plus, when I confronted them, all they gave me was excuses... read more

I had bad experience from this dishonest optical company, will not come back again. I have VSP and looking for an in-network optical company, so I can use my in-network benefit for a pair of glasses. When I am on the phone and this guy told me they are in-network. So I stopped by the store to pick the frame and lenses that I want. The total amount I paid out of my pocket for a pair of glasses was over $500. Then the guy told me "out of network benefit was better than in-network benefit because I will get more reimbursement and I believed in him. Few weeks later, I received a $70 check from VSP, the amount is way less than a frame covered by (in-network). VSP benefits for within network. Frame coverage (copay is $0) $ 140 +$20 (for brand frame)=$160 (20% off any amount over your allowance) read more

Before I went to this optical store, I didn't hope I can get what I want, but this place surprises me. When I came in the store, I saw lots of good brands, because there were too much choices, I didn't know how to start. The store owner is very helpful and patient, after listening what I want, the owner helped me picked several pairs of glasses, I tried them on。(actually, I am kind of sorry to the owner because I used for a long time to try them, but the owner is very patient and warm, I really appreciate it.）From those pairs of glasses, I got what I really want. This Gucci glasses looks awesome on me,and it is light that won't hurt my nose, so so happy to get it. And the price is very reasonable, at this store every penny spent is worth. I can't wait to let everyone know this good store. read more

I first visited this optical shop last year to get glasses for my two children. The owner was incredibly welcoming, patient, and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain which lenses would be the best for kids, considering both durability and eye protection. What impressed me the most was how reasonable the prices were--I ended up saving a significant amount of money while still getting high-quality glasses for my children. Today, I returned because my daughter accidentally broke her frames. Once again, the owner was just as friendly and helpful as before. He quickly found a replacement frame that fit her lenses perfectly and took care of everything with great attention to detail. His kindness and professionalism made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I'll definitely be coming back soon to get a new pair of glasses for my son. This shop truly offers outstanding service, great products, and fair prices. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for eyewear--you won't be disappointed! read more

Absolutely thrilled with my experience at Brighter Optical! I brought in my own DITA frame, and after visiting several optical shops, I kept hearing either "we don't work with customer frames" or "we don't carry Zeiss lenses." Thankfully, I found this place. They specialize in Zeiss lenses and were incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process. They even offered the latest Zeiss DuraVision Gold UV coating, which many places either didn't have or weren't familiar with. The staff took the time to explain the lens options and made sure everything was done properly with my frame. The finished glasses turned out perfect--great fit, excellent lens quality, and outstanding attention to detail. If you're looking for a shop that truly knows Zeiss products and can handle high-end frames like DITA, I highly recommend Brighter Optical. I'll definitely be coming back for my next pair! read more

I originally came in planning to buy a Gentle Monster frame, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that they carry CARIN as well. After trying both, I ended up choosing a CARIN frame because it was noticeably lighter, more comfortable, and offered better value for the price. Nolan was patient, knowledgeable, and never pushy. Nolan took the time to help me compare different options and find the perfect fit. The entire experience was smooth and professional.

I was visiting the city and unfortunately lost my glasses in the hotel nearby. I came here because I remember passing by this place after getting The Alley milk tea. I needed the glasses quick and Tom helped me get my new Zeiss glasses ready in an hour! The Zeiss glasses price is much lower than China by the way. Now I'm back in China with new glasses on and finally have time to say thank you to Tom for saving the rest of my US trip. read more

I like to make sure I can get the most out of my purchase for everything I buy so I usually have a lot of questions. Especially when it comes to glasses that I wear everyday. Tom is very patient with all my questions. He helped me pick out the perfect pair with discounted price. I was also told that I'm welcomed to come back if the glasses need any adjustment or repair. Will definitely recommend to my friends and colleagues. read more

Title: Great Deal & Awesome Service! Just got my Ray-Ban Meta here, and I'm super happy with the whole experience! The service was friendly and professional, and they helped me install my prescription lenses， best part is I got the Ray-Ban meta for $30 less than the official site--such a great deal! Highly recommend this place for quality eyewear at a good price. Will definitely be back! read more

Had an amazing experience here! My glasses had loose screws, and the big Chinese guy with tattoos helped me out right away. He was super cool, genuinely helpful, and hooked me up for free. You don't find kind, honest service like this much anymore. I'm incredibly grateful. Highly recommend this place! read more

My old lens was worn out so I've been planning on replacing them. Went to a couple of chain stores nearby but this store have the best price and service. They shipped the glasses to me as well! Saved me a trip. 旧眼镜戴了太久需要换，比较了附近几家连锁店但是价格都小贵，他们家是自己个人运营所以服务特别亲切价格也合适。最后选了个大圆框，直接给寄到家里，满意！ read more

I came in on 3-15-25 to have my wife's lens replaced. I'm not an expert on optometry or lenses but the Gentleman who attended to me certainly is, to my surprise he replaced them by hand in seconds. Couldn't have asked for better service. A must try if you're in the area. read more

I really love this shop. It's a complete hidden gem! I've been "visually challenged" since the age…read moreof eight. So I've literally been wearing some sort of corrective lens (glasses and contacts) for 35 years. The most difficult part for me was ALWAYS finding frames that fit me - my must have #1. That means I need nose pads. Then, I look at style - sad, right? So I wore contact lens FOREVER... I loathed whenever I had to go get new glasses. Well, not since a few years now. We come to this shop ALL the time. My AWESOME Poloroid polarized sunglasses are from here (with custom nose pads). Now that wearing glasses is back in style, YAY!! I thought there would be more selection now. NOPE, I was wrong. The trendy glasses now are large and round and I can't wear that style at all (I cannot wear most plastic frames w/o custom nose pads installed - which can be done at Monterey Park Optical! I bought my Tom Ford frames at a crazy low price at Costco and brought them to Mr. Ling (the optometrist - he's licensed in Taiwan, but since he opened this store, he only "fills eye glass prescriptions" - but he sees everything an optometrist does. He even double checks my family's prescriptions before he "fills" it, our whole family comes here and I refer people here whenever I can, since they are the best I've found so far. I'm almost positive that a prescription "re-check" is NOT a service he offers to other people (since he only has a Taiwanese License to practice Optometry). Mr. Ling and his wife Janet, yes, this is a "mom and pop" boutique eyewear shop. They have frames to fit all budgets. Never before have I found a pair of glasses that I liked and could stand up to my vigorous usage. I have seizure disorder, so I've ruined many pairs of glasses by falling over and breaking them (which is what happened to my Tom Ford light brown frames you see me wearing in some photos). I used my glasses all day, every day from when I wake up to when I go to sleep. Mr. Ling, the owner, himself wears an amazing looking Teal colored pair of glasses. I HAD to know what the brand was. His wife Janet also had amazing looking glasses. I realized fairly quickly that this store was a boutique store. Mr. Ling was wearing Silhouette Eyewear from Austria. His wife Janet was wearing an amazing pair of rose gold/pink glasses that are from Japan. And NO, they DO NOT carry COACH - Thank God... I can't stand Coach. And neither can they! Why? Because they don't think that the quality of Coach frames are good enough for what Coach wants to charge. I realized that Mr. Ling and his wife Janet scour the WORLD for eye wear. I ended up getting a pair of Silhouette's as well. I looked up their website: www.silhouette.com/us/en/home/ and found out that they have designer collections. Nope, I can't afford the $20,000 (yes, $20k for glasses!) 18kt solid gold pairs with 72 VS1 diamonds (last collection. Current collection is round colorful and plastic frames - no clue on price) and Monterey Park Optical said the glasses were beautiful, but each pair was $20k. Crazy! They have the 23kt thick gold plated frames there w/Schwarovki crystals for about $1000. Bling is not my style, and I had zero probs finding glasses here. Monterey Park Optical has all the brands you would want, Gucci, Burberry, Prada, etc. But their specialty is finding companies from all over the world that make only eye wear. When I saw Janet's glases, I asked her if the Japanese frames came with springs on the hinges. She literally took off her pair of glasses and pulled it into a straight line. So each link (that I thought was a fashion thing) was a spring. My Tom Ford glasses broke because of a recent seizure and the frames cracked when the side of my head hit the floor. The lenses were still good but had a scratch in the coating (they were expensive transitions lenses that had every kind of coating that you could buy). I literally only had to buy the frames and Mr. Ling installed the frames for me. He noticed the scratch and pointed it out to me, letting me know that once the coating is scratched there's no way to fix it. My mom tried to save money by doing the same thing that I did - just replace the frame, but her lenses were too scratched up. However, that didn't stop Mr. Ling from doing it for my mom anyway, even though the lenses needed replacing (in my opinion, Mr. Ling said, "if it's too scratched, bring it back". So about two days after my mom got her glasses back with the scratched lenses, she ended up going in and ordering new lenses. Mr. Ling and Janet know us well, all my family comes here and all my mom's friends. We love them! I have found my eyeglass heaven. I don't need to go anywhere else from now on! I literally don't want to go anywhere else. I can't find a better shop, nor better educated owners who care about the quality of glasses and their customer and not flashy names. Trust me, flashy name brands are generally cheaper than QUALITY. I love my Austrian glasses!!
