I needed replacement lenses fast and Europe Optical delivered single vision lenses with anti scratch and anti glare coatings for $80. In under one hour! If you need an affordable and quick glasses place look no further. read more

John provided me excellent service. The prices are reasonable and selection of eyewear is great! It's a Korean owned business but John is very helpful with those who do not speak Korean. I'd definitely recommend. read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid with my parents, and after 18 years, they're still the best. It's a family-owned shop with top quality prescription glasses, super fast service, and the friendliest staff. I recently got Chanel frames, and they customized them with nose pad supports so they fit perfectly. They always have the newest designer brands like Chanel, Celine, Prada, and Cartier, and so much more. read more

This optical establishment used to be top notch, however, in lieu of some recent experiences by myself as well as other friends who have originally recommended this place, we will never be going back again. The owner's wife is beyond rude, classless and condescending. Her son was really the driving force of this family establishment along with his father but he is no longer there. She has repeatedly been offensive with her comments and attitude to customers and doesn't seem to have a mindset of customer service. She has driven the customers away as business is clearly suffering from the days when it was truly an excellent establishment. There are many other wonderful optical stores who would love your business so save your time and go where your business is appreciated. Apparently, the woman has a history of poor business manners evidenced by reviews written in other platforms. Suffice to say, we are no longer patrons as well as our family and friends. What a shame. read more

Pure class! Great to see a family business that thrives on excellence. The father (owner) is very meticulous and the son is overly courteous. Professional and honest great service over all. Highly recommend. read more

I would 100% recommend Europe Optical. Before I went in to get my prescription glasses, they worked on my cousin's Chrome Hearts glasses made into sunglasses. It was reasonably priced and done pretty quickly. He's had 2 pairs made into sunglasses and absolutely loves them. This past month February 2024, I finally went in to get my prescription glasses fixed from my optometrist that has had multiple issues with the glasses I got done. They were able to figure out what was the problem and fix the two pairs the same day. I appreciate that you can come in, get your eyes checked for free and you can go home within 1-1.5 hour with your prescription glasses. NO WAITING TWO WEEKS! I have had a total of 3 glasses, Gentle Monsters (pictured), Prada's (which I had nose pads added) and a cat eye Tom Ford sunglasses made into glasses (also pictured). What I like is that you can bring in your glasses you already have or buy in store and the pricing to get the lens done and it's quite affordable. I will say they also have an expansive collection of glasses and if you use cash you can haggle a little! I got checked by Dr. M and she's so kind and easy to work with. The team that helps you choose your glasses and get your lens are also hospitable. Come through to Koreatown, this is the best, most affordable option not using your insurance. I think it's actually the best bang for your buck and I will be coming back every year. I'd rather pay out of pocket since the price of their lens is significantly cheaper than dealing with places that go through the insurance companies. 10/10 read more

Love this place. Always very helpful and sincere. I would never mind paying a little more (if that is ever even the case) to support a business like this read more

I have been getting glasses since I was a kid and they are the best! Great selection of glasses and great prices as well. I was able to get my new glasses fit with prescription lenses less than 30 minutes before they closed, which is a testament to their service as well as the quality that they are able to deliver. I would never go anywhere else for my glasses! read more

awesome place for glasses and anything related. wouldn't go anywhere else honestly. fast and friendly service in korean & english, very reasonable and affordable pricing. got color matched lenses for sunglasses, and lens replacement in my daily frames. super quick turnaround as well read more

I was sent here by "Pasquale" from Retro Super Future after I purchased a pair of optical frames last week. Initially, I had planned on going to my regular optometrist and had no intentions on giving anyone else my business due to : 1) inconveniences to location 2) aversion to change. Being self-employed, the high rates I pay for health insurance does not cover vision so I have been paying out-of-pocket for many years now. I called for a quote from my current optometrist and compared it to Europe Optical and there was no competition with pricing here. Normally, I wear contacts and eye glasses are only worn seldom. Last year, I got my lenses updated from Warby Parker which only costed me $50 so when I got the quote from my optometrist at over $400 (exam included), I said heck nawww! I was told to ask for GIO. He told me that they waived the exam fees when you purchase lenses. OKKKK! Well, thanks for saving me $120. You have my business for life. These days, I am not used to paying for eye exams since 1-800-Contacts (where I purchase mine) offer free online eye exams. Being the skeptic that I am, last summer, I was curious to see how accurate the exams were so I booked an appointment with my local optometrist and got the same exact results for $120 more. It's competitive out there and as a person that does not have vision insurance, you bet I will be coming back here and referring everyone and their mom to Europe Optical. The exam was super pleasant. Loved Dr. Choi's energy. She was upbeat, very welcoming and had a good sense of humor especially for a patient like me who came in right before they closed. Gio's customer service was second to none. I walked out with a new prescription and fresh glasses in under 30 minutes. Not sure how these wizards do it but why would anyone go anywhere else? The next day, I called and asked why my glasses kept making me dizzy and he told me to come in so that he could swap out the material of the lenses that may have caused it. The issue was the strength so he dialed it back to .25 and cut out new lenses and popped them in for me in under 20 minutes. He told me if I wanted to change it back that he would keep the original prescription lenses for me. Gio didn't charge me a dime and he remedied my problems instantly. This place deserves 10 stars. It'll be hard to beat their impressive speed, customer experience, pricing and quality. read more

I've been coming to this business for at least 10 years and they are still the best Optical service I've ever visited. The Optometrist that provides eye exams is thorough, trustworthy, and kind. The service here is second to none. They cut and grind their own lenses and offer fast turnaround. Plus they have an extensive collection of frames to choose from at good prices. I've lived in NY, Philadelphia, and LA and this is the best Eyeglass store I've ever been to. All this and it's a family owned and operated business and everyone is knowledgeable and kind. Thank you Europe Optical! read more

I haven't been here for years since I went to college, but the service is the same as ever! Very friendly staff who goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable and make sure you make your own choice. The doctor and the guy at the front desk were unbelievably helpful in correcting my glasses and I was able to get a new pair of glasses (as pictured) with his guidance at such a discounted price! 10/10 would recommend! read more

I wanted to update my review to reiterate what a wonderful store this is. I just had my eyes examined again (very thorough exam), free with purchase of lenses and/or frames. They put new lenses in my natural water buffalo horn lenses. They conditioned the frames for THREE WEEKS! They will take the lenses out and recondition them at no cost every six months. This is a family run business that cares about what they do and their customers. The lenses are perfect (I'm a cameraman/photographer and am extremely particular). read more

Service is always impeccable. I went to other establishments due to my insurance, but nothing comes close to Europe Optical.

Been going here for a very long time. Great family owned business. Great thing is they have eye doctor right there and can make almost all the glasses there as well. Very good service, and good prices for all their services. Also the selection of glasses they have are great. read more

I went with my friend who got new glasses here yesterday. This place was quite busy. While we were waiting for the eye exam, Mr.Nice(sorry boss, forgot to ask your name:/) gave us drink and had a fun small talk. I really enjoyed talking with him :) FYI, they offer free eye exam if you get glasses. I was dropping artificial eye drop and Jiho caught it and recommended some eye drop brands and let me know how to use gel type eye drops and gave me some samples. I asked Jiho if he can clean my glasses (Oh my, I do sound like a Jin-sang customer) He not only cleaned the glass, but he also tightened my loose part of the glass and gave me glasses case :) Thank you!! I honestly didn't expect to get this quality of service in the U.S. Highly recommended especially for someone looking for trendy korean or stylish glasses. Thank you all, you guys completed my LA trip! my friend loves his new glass :) read more

Awesome customer service and fantastic value!!!Highly recommend. Free eye exam with purchase of contacts + glasses + 50% discount on select frames. Can't get any better than that. But back to the customer service tho...I am a really indecisive person and I couldn't decide on a frame, but the cute lady (sorry I never got her name) who worked there knows her shit and gave me great recommendations for my face shape and they even threw in a nose mount thing for free. I'm not going to lie, I was hesitant at first bc I'm just indecisive like that, but as soon as I got home, I discovered she was right on the nose lmao (so thank you, if you ever read this, and I'm sorry for ever doubting you!!!!) But yeah, this will def be my go-to...until I get lasik :) read more

I gladly drive from San Fernando valley to come get my glasses here I bought 3 pairs from them already and I'm due for my 4th pair highly recommended read more

This is the BEST place to go to get glasses or contacts. It's worth the drive. The friendliest people and the eye exam is free ! You can sometimes pick up lenses same day and contacts within a week or so and I have astigmatism. I recommend everyone to this place. !! read more

This place lost me as a repeat customer solely because of the bad experience I had with the younger lady helping me (short hair and glasses). After the first few minutes of looking around, she seemed impatient while trying to figure out what kind of shades I preferred as if it was a burden for her to take back, wipe and put back the sunglasses I was trying on. Her demeanor was cold and condescending all throughout. She picked out some of the tackiest sunglasses. The part that peeved me the most was as soon as another party walked in (and we were the only two parties), she said to me "You should come to the store during the weekday instead of a weekend so that you can move around more easily" - like WTF, I'm already there...and with this rude experience, why would I come back?! I should've left much earlier after the first few minutes. I hope she reads this to learn from her mistakes. Unless she wants to further drive customers away, she should'nt be on the customer front with this kind of poor attitude. read more

very professional and helpful. Fair prices too. Easy parking, and great Korean restaurant in same mall.

I had a pair of glasses and I needed to change only the lenses. Then I brought the glasses to this shop. They had worked on changing the lenses, then I went back to the shop to pick it up. At the time of picking up the glasses, my glasses were already wrapped and put in a case. So without any doubt, I paid for the service and came back home. Long story short, as soon as I opened the case of glasses, I see these huge white spots (1 spot each in the center of the glasses). Those were scratches that were made by them. Day after, I brought the glasses with scratches and told them could guys fix this since the scratches have been made by you guys? Their immediate answer was "No, the scratches were probably made by you". I was speechless, I had told them to please fix the lenses because the person who had handed me the glasses didn't even be honest about causing the damage. Honestly, If they would have not lied about the scratches and told me about their mistake from the beginning; I would have forgiven them. But the way that they treat their customer is such a disgusting way. I would have not even had to write such a long review for this complaint if they did not lie.. Anyways guys Do not shop at this store, if you do, just think of consequences. read more

I went to my replace broken glasses. The owner is very knowledgeable and a decent human being. Rates are decent and they repaired the glasses within 2 hours. read more

I've been coming here for over 10 years. Just came back because I broke my glasses. Love their free exam and the optometrist is very nice and has good energy the owner is very nice and always had good frames at good prices. They have blue light protection which helps a lot because I work looking at computer all day long. I got new glasses today and he gave me 20% off without me even asking. I tried another company once because of a Groupon but it was a trick because they just increased the price and ended up being more expensive. Highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

I've been going here for years and always satisfied with the service and products! The optometrist is SO nice and efficient and the lovely older couple that works there are always so sweet too! I always get contacts & update my glasses when needed and they are always done well. Nice clean establishment! read more

By far the best service available in LA. I'm from the valley and I drive all the way here to get my contact refills and glasses. The customer service here is beyond exceptional plus they're cheaper than Walmart. What more could I ask for? Ask for Jeo he is so incredibly kind and the fact that there were many times I could have paid more money, he gives me options that pay less even when I don't ask. If you're in the area and looking for a good optometrist, this is your best place read more

My mom and I have been going here for years. Good Customer service is always consistent. I referred someone for his vision exam. He had a concern with his current glasses that he purchased elsewhere. They checked his vision and told him it was good. He didn't need to make any changes. I'm happy to say not only is this place always clean and well maintained. They are also honest. I will keep referring my friends to Europe Optical. Thank you read more

Great service. Showed up 30 minutes before they were closing and they were able to do my eye test, help me chose glasses and prepare them right away. Was able to walk out with my new glasses within 40 minutes. Great customer service and great prices. read more

This is the best place to get your glasses in all of Los Angeles if you enjoy most fashionable glasses with noticeably lower price than downtown or Westside venues. Mr. Myung, the owner, has been in the business for over three decades and I have been coming here for about 25 years. You all should check this place out. read more

Europe Optical's been my family's go-to optical store for a long time now. Now that my eyes have succumbed to genetics and slowly deteriorate, Europe Optical will probably be mine too! This store's owned by the nicest Korean couple who know what they're doing. Even though they're not super young, they are very trendy and make great recommendations on frames for your face. The other people that work there are all super courteous. There used to be an elderly Jewish optometrist here but I guess he's recently retired and been replaced by a young Korean woman optometrist. Honestly, the previous doctor kind of intimidated me and the new one is much friendlier. Especially when I have to sit in front of that stupid "blow-air-in-your-eyes" machine. Terrifying. There are a ton of different frames and brands here from high end luxury brands to discounted no name Korean brand frames. They seriously have everything. They work with your health insurance as well. The nice man (Mr. Myoung I believe is his name) is definitely pretty generous with getting you a deal on your glasses. I love Europe Optical. I hope they'll be around for as long as I have eyes. read more

Highly recommend this place. Ask for Gio, the young guy. Low prices, great selection. Went in today bc a lens had fallen out. They replaced both screws, cleaned the glasses, gave everything a nice overhaul and didn't charge a cent. Lots of parking as well. read more

Ive been getting my contacts from this place for about 3 years, but then i also wanted a pair of extra glasses so i Got mine done today the lady doctor did my eye exam, i was so in love with the way she treats her patient. she was so humble and professional, she informed me how my eye conditions were changed with full-easy explanation. Staffs here are also super chill and very easy going, Plus this cozy nice place has been always clean and well organized since the day1 I visited them. amazing. Price given to me was super reasonable i thank god i found this place 3 years ago. I will get all my future eyewears done in here lol! read more

Awesome family business with helpful insight on what glasses work the best for your look / prescription.

Best optometrist in town. Received a FREE eye exam and several different trial pairs of lenses. I have a stigmatism, so to receive a trial pair or Toric lenses is much appreciated. They also have the up and coming new FDA-approval pending daily Bausch and Lomb circle lenses in brown and black. I was lucky enough to receive trial pairs in both colors! The eye doc is lovely and truly does an amazing job at making you feel at ease. She's very fast and on point. You are definitely getting quality service here. They had my selection of frames ready in less than 10 minutes. The young man helped me choose my pair of my new Paul Frames and I absolutely love them! I'll attach a pic of them. The eye exam alone at Lenscrafters can be equivalent to the cost of lenses or glasses. I highly recommend this spot. ^^ read more

Europe Optical - My new pair of Paul Franks! - Optometrists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I thought my eye-sight was so bad that the only way I could ever enjoy the modern day miracle called the boob tube again was to get a bigger TV. So I bought a 55 inch flat screen. That, however, did not solve my problems. I still couldn't see. Finally, it dawned on me that it's time to get new eye glasses. I researched, of course. After reading the yelp reviews, I decided against two friends' advice to go to costco($45 eye exam plus frames and lenses) and came to this store instead. I am so glad I did. I was able to use my old frames, which are actually pretty new and in perfect working order, and just get new lenses. They did NOT try to upsell me at all!!! The whole thing ended up costing me only $80, including an eye exam. My new glasses work soooooo much better than my old lenses. I can see my 55 inch flat screen now! Maybe I can even downsize to a 46 inch? lol I also purchased new contact lenses here. They also seem to make my world much clearer and more HD.(lol) Only $20 a month, which is a whole lot lower than I imagined. The eye examiner, a 94-year-old gentleman was a racist(lol) and a smarta$$, but he was very nice and amusing, in an old gentleman way..^_* He told me I would live a long time. No idea how he came to that conclusion by looking at my eyes, but good to know!! Also, you better know how old you were last year cuz he'll pop quiz you! lol Thanks Yelp for another great discovery! I wish I had known of this place sooner. Now I have to throw away a whole year's worth of old contacts. read more

This place is amazing! you can get a walk in check up at almost anytime. Their turn around for glasses and contacts is unbelivably fast and everyone is helpful, patient, and friendly. read more

Update - the pup decided to chew on my glasses and they weren't salvageable. Eye exam, picked frames, and will be back in an hour to pick them up. I originally went to get a lower priced pair of frames since I mainly wear contacts but they have such a huge selection I tried many different pairs. The quality and feel of the mid to higher frames can't compare to the lower priced frames. Happy with my selection and cant wait to pick them up. By the way my eyes got better. Win win today. read more

Affirming my long term relationship with this place. For the past three years I've "graduated" to progressive lenses and both optometrists and staff have been consistently excellent. They offer good advice on frames, they're mindful of budget and aesthetics. They keep impeccable records and offer great value. I've tried Warby Parker, but nothing beats a real life experience with the folks at Europe Optical. I'm excited for my next new pair of glasses! read more

This is my second time going, can I just say it's the best optometrist I've ever been to hands down. I've had glasses all my life and this is the first place I truly feel they care how you feel with you're glasses or contacts. My mom had surgery for catarax on one of her eyes and the glasses they gave her felt off to her. She tried to get used to them but she couldn't so I brought her back. The glasses the surgeon gave her were way to strong. They checked her eyes again and gave her the right glasses this time. Explain how her eyes were and how to help her see better. Can I just say how much we love this place!! I got contacts this year and she made sure I left with the correct ones for my eyes. I'm so overjoyed that my mom will be more comfortable with her glasses. Well be back next year! read more
