She helped me by answering all the questions I had about the office. She was so very KIND and UNDERSTANDING. I would definitely refer people to buy glasses there and get them fit by the fabulous duo Paul and Cynthia. They made my awful visit ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.

DANGEROUS MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE. THIS IS A UNCARING CORPORATE FACTORY POSING AS A SMALL LOCAL…read moreBUSINESS. Warning to the South Bay: This is NOT the local, caring optometry office it pretends to be. They are part of VSP Ventures, a massive corporate giant (Google it & see attached pic), and it shows. They treat patients like numbers on a spreadsheet, not humans and repeatedly got my eye exams wrong. The Negligence: For six years, they failed to diagnose a standard condition I've had since 2017. In July 2025, Dr. Lee removed my astigmatism correction entirely. When I explicitly told her I couldn't see and questioned the prescription, I was dismissed. A manager promised to call me back--no one ever did. The Result: I spent months driving with dangerous, blurry vision and wasted over $3,000 on 9 pairs of useless glasses because I thought better glasses would help me, but the problem was their incompetence. I finally went to a new independent doctor (Leaf Optometry), who immediately diagnosed the issue and confirmed Manhattan Beach Vision Group has been getting it wrong for years after looking over all my previous prescriptions. Do not trust your eyes to this factory. They care about volume, not accuracy. Go to a real local doctor who actually listens and cares.

They don't pressure you to purchase anything or upgrade. I was very comfortable and my glasses were ready in just a couple days.

Highly recommend and will return here for replacements.

I had a 4:30 pm appointment and as soon as I walked in, I waited about 3 minutes and they had called my name already. I was greeted by the front desk receptionist Silvia with a welcoming smile! I was then helped out by Micah who performed the preliminary procedures for my eye exam. He was very professional and took the time to explain what each state of the art equipment does. I was then seen by Dr Chad Shimazaki. Awesome optometrist. Very professional and helpful! He took the time to explain what all the results meant from my eye exam. He made me feel like I was part of North Torrance Optometry family already! Lastly, I was able to meet his father Dr Tak Shimazaki, the one who started it all. He was very friendly and welcoming. He was even doing some housekeeping to make sure the office was nice and tidy. Hands down I highly recommend North Torrance optometry to anyone looking for help with their vision. At the end of my consultation, Wendy who explained all the numbers and pricing to me was super helpful! I have nothing to say but positive things about this business! Very professional and great service!!! Highly recommended!
