Very happy with this place, they are straightforward and get to business without any beating around the bush. I came all the way from San Diego to go here to get an eye exam, lense and frame. My appointment was at 3:30pm so I had to come back the next day because they did not have anti-reflective lenses during the day but so worth it because I manage to find the right frames for my face shape. read more

My appointment is at 11:50am on a Monday. I arrived on time. I was told there is one more customer in front me and might run few minutes late. I saw that customer left and others stepping into the exam room. I was still waiting. By 12:25pm, I was still waiting. I asked the same assistant again and she explained they were running late and as of right now, there was still an additional customer in front me. And she suggested the option to reschedule after over half an hour wait!! Why inform me only few minutes late at first place? At the end, My appointment ran over 50 mins late!! If I had been informed the wait will be more than over 30 mins truthfully in the beginning, I would have rescheduled to next time. Zero respect of customers' time at all. Not a place that I will recommend to others nor come back in the future. read more

Dr. Lee, who checked my eyes gave me huge amount of attitude from the moment I walked in. She was very impatient with her attitude and responses. She even used hand gestures to express her irritation when replying to my question. She was condescending enouncing each word and spoke slowly in a way that you knew she was mocking you. When I was dismissed from her and it was time to try on glasses, no one among many staff came forward to help. They would rather chat with each other than come offering help. I had to catch one staff and told her that the doctor told me to try on glasses. She seemed confused and went on to the other side to check a file. Apparently my file was just left on the counter and no one was informed about what to do next with this customer. After I finally tried the glasses and wanted to leave with my prescription, the staff seemed confused again and had to find help from her co-worker. The other girl took a few minutes to get me my prescription and had similar attitude as the doctor when she asked me, "you need anything else?" I didn't know it was done, there was no clear indication, lack of confirming that's it, thanks or good bye, etc. She handed me a paper and was writing things on my file without saying a word. They place a paper on the glass table and that was it. If you want any service done in this place, be VERY proactive cause may workers here would pass you time and time again without asking if you need any help. Don't assume you will be take care of. Most likely they will forget you are even there. read more

My dad and mom made appointments 6 weeks ago, and we they got there, told my parents they aren't on the appointment, so need to wait,. Then they waited two hours .when is they're turn, they told my parents they can't go in two the same time, other one have to wait for longer, they need to let someone Else go first before them. because they don't have appointment....... Are you kidding me?? They made a appointment, because of your mistake,they waited two hours with appointment made 6 weeks ago.... No sorry and made us wait longer? And so rude.... And they saw someone else was complaint about then the mistake about the glasses. Don't go this place, so bad....... So baddddddd. And my parents is senior......... read more

I love Eye on Design! I tagged along with my boyfriend and his family a couple of times before getting a set of prescription sunglasses for myself, and I'm so happy about it. One of selling points for me was the fact that they have SOOOO many great selections to choose from. One the workers mentioned that they get new styles every week. That's insane! Most of their frames are high end (ex. Prada, Gucci, Ray Bans), but there are a few sections towards the back, right side of the store if you're facing the door entrance, that have models that are a little more affordable. They also have styles that are more for the older folks as well, and best thing is that they have cool styles that have nose pieces, for those like me who have no nose bridge. In addition, they do have contact lenses available. I personally have not tried contact lenses, so I'm not sure what the qualifications are, but they offer colored lenses too. The location is pretty hidden, in between a few restaurants and a neighborhood, but it's right off of Valley Blvd. in between Abbot Ave. and Bencamp St. They have limited parking on the side on Bencamp St., but since it's near a neighborhood, it's easy to street park if needed, since it does get quite busy sometimes. The inside of their office can get quite crowded, but they do have seating throughout the whole office which makes it great for older folks who don't really want to be there and want to take a nap, or kids who run out of energy or need to be controlled. They also have candy in the front of the office, if you need to bribe your kids with a treat, or if you're like me and can go for some yummy sweets. As I mentioned before, the can get very very very busy. So it's best to make an appointment, it might also be required for an eye exam, but I'm not 100% sure. I went into the office only to pick out glasses, and did not need an appointment to do that. I have not received my glasses yet, it's only been four days, but lead time to receive your glasses will vary. My boyfriend got his within two weeks and I was given a lead time of one week. Since a lot of their products are high-end, the prices can be a bit high, but they do accept insurance! My insurance is through Eye Med, so if that's a carrier you have, they do accept it. The workers are very helpful and will walk you through your insurance plan and the pricing once you present all the information to them. I visited the office last Sunday and was greeted by Brian, who is AMAZING! I'm personally super indecisive and have a hard time making final decisions, but he was so helpful with the process of finding "the one". He's super personable, helpful, and attentive even when a rush of people were around. I came in knowing what style I liked, but he was able to select a good amount of frames that matched my style, and also threw in a few unique selections to see if it would be something I would be interested in. He gave me cool little facts about the frames, and his opinions. He's super into the eyewear field, the fashion world, and in general really passionate about helping his clients. He made the experience really easy and enjoyable. I believe he mentioned his availability is Tuesday, Thursday, and weekends. The workers at Eye on Design are all pretty nice. They all seem very real and will tell you what they think is best. Some more knowledgeable than others, and most, if not all, speak Chinese! So bring your parents, or come yourself, because they're really great. read more

If you go here please ask for Brian! He is super friendly and helpful, and will answer any questions that you might have with no hesitation. I went in during a very busy day, and he took the time to answer all my questions as well as let me try on multiple frames to see which one suited me the best. He is very knowledge in the different types of frames and is very in touch with the "trendy" ones. He helped me choose a frame that was trendy and suited my face shape well! It was definitely one of the best and easiest experience I've had with getting glasses. He made me feel very welcomed and it was super easy to make conversation with him. I would recommend that if anyone needed glasses to please go ask for Brian! Thank you so much for your time and great service! I will definitely come back here if I need anything else. read more

Eye On Design Optometry - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Came to get my eyes checked on 6/9/20 in the afternoon, the service was nice and all but the air conditioner wasnt work well on this hottttt day, itwas horrible, my temperature was high and the lady kept check my temperature! Hope it gets fixed . read more

Terrible experience with terrible attitude from there. They are not responsible for the mistakes they made. They think they are always right. Don't waste time and money there. Not responsible AT ALL!!!!!!!! I got a pair of glasses last week. I went back there to check if there is a problem. Because it made me feel headache and dizzy. People from Eye On Design said NO. We don't think our glasses has any problem at all. We think your eye test has problems. Excuse me? I used this prescription for 2 pairs of glasses. They are all good. And I went another optical to check it, they said there is a problem causing me feel dizzy. I went back to Eye On Design, they rejected to be responsible for it. Such a terrible experience. I paid them $100, and they gave me this trash. They even broke my new frame. read more

I am absolutely beyond satisfied with my experience today. Earlier, I was feeling sick as I was shopping for glasses with my niece. After eating some bad dim sum I began to have stomach cramps and pains. The employee Brian assisted me in offering both my niece and I water and showed me where the bathroom was. He was able to see that I was not in the best physical and mental state and offered his services of water and using the restroom to help me recoup myself. As I finished using the restroom, Brian recommended some other great Dim Sum spots in the area because I was not satisfied with my experience today (P.S I live near Compton so no good DIM sum near me) I am truly appreciative of the service, intuition, and care I received from Brian and his understanding of what it is like to have bad Dim Sum. He also recommended some beautiful glasses for my niece. His understanding of frames and it's correlation to facial structure and features can not be matched. Mr. Brian is truly an expert and is developing into a young successful professional. His customer service was absolutely top notch and there is nothing I would change about my experience today as embarrassing as it was. My niece has new glasses and I am a satisfied camper with a general idea of new and amazing dim sum spots to check out!!!! Thank you Brian for your hospitality and professionalism and thank you Eye Om Design for having him!!! read more

Wide variety of eye glasses from affordable to brand name you can pick from here, Jill was helping me during the whole process, from insurance checking to glasses picking and to payment. She was very nice, knowledgeable, and experienced. Easy parking outside. read more

Ask for Annie! She always takes care of me every time I need new frames or repairs. She is straight forward and will tell you like it is. Everyone else is nice attending to every customer that walks in. It gets really busy so you have to SPEAK UP if you need help. You can't just walk in and expect catered red carpet service. This is the SGV, that's not how we roll. If you're here for an exam, then ask for Dr. Li. You SAVE TIME by making an appointment rather than being a walk-in. Yes, even with an appointment there is still a wait time but which doctor's office have no wait time. Dr. Li will answer all your questions and concerns, so be respectful when you're waiting since you would want the same TLC when you're being examed. They have a huge selection of frames to meet everyone's needs. read more

I have spent time at this optometry. I entered the business with intentions of acquiring a specific pair of sunglasses. I was met by a employee by the name of Brian. He was informative and pleasant in his informational on the selection of glasses. While the optometry did not have the pair I desired, I left feeling as if Brian had done everything in his power to assist me. I would recommend this business to my peers. read more

This is for you, Brian. My family and I have been coming here for our vision needs for at least 5 years. I've noticed that the customer service has improved dramatically. That being said, the wait to get your eyes checked is still a little long, especially if you come as a family of 5. But this is an issue for every optometry I've been to. The selection of glasses here is ginormous and I always happen to find glasses I like. Brian helped us at our most recent visit to the optometrist. He was friendly, patient (my dad is a diva and picked out 20 pairs), and had great suggestions for each individual. And Annie is great with the insurance and adult calculations. Would not hesitate to recommend Eye on Design! Highly suggest to arrive at your appointment time. read more

Terrible experience with terrible attitude from there. They are not responsible for the mistakes they made. They think they are always right. Don't waste time and money there. The lenses quality is really bad.the coatings split off.really bad service.fight with customer. read more

This has been the optometry store my family and I have been going for years, since I was a kid. The workers speak Chinese and English which is helpful. We usually receive service from a very helpful bilingual worker named Brian. He assists us most of the time in timely and helpful manner. I usually come to get my check up and purchase my contacts. The only complaint is that if you walk in without an appointment, the wait can be prolonged a little. read more

They have the worst customer service. The only helpful person is Annie. They have so much staff and yet no one was helping us. When we asked they literally said "no I'm busy." They kept telling us to wait for the doctor to call our name but no one actually wrote us down in the appointment list to begin with so we were never called and it took asking the doctor himself to figure out what went wrong. But even the doctor dismissed us and said he was on his lunch break. So we were sent to the second doctor who condemned us by essential saying she couldn't do as well as a job on us because she wasn't the doctor who attended us last appointment. So she said to wait for the other doctor to finish his lunch break. So we were forced to wait again! After an 1 and half we finally got my eyes checked. I was ordering contacts and the doctor said I could call in to finalize the order next week. But one of the service staff argued we couldn't call and had to come back in. So we spent another half hour tracking down another staff member who wasn't busy to clarify. Turns out we were right. They were clueless. read more

This place's waiting time is FOREVER. Appointment is useless here. They made you wait forever despite you have an appointment. Come only when you have plenty time to kill and have nothing else meaningful in your life to do read more

I ordered contacts last in November 2016. They told me they would give me a call in 3 weeks when it arrived. January 2017 came, and I didn't receive a call. I called them, and they said they would check on my order and call me back. They didn't. I called again a week later. Same thing, no call. I called today, nearly 2 months after my order. They told me they never submitted my order, and I would have to wait another ten days. Extremely unprofessional and uncommunicative. read more

We've been going to Eye On Design for almost 15 years. We've moved to the San Francisco Bay Area for over 10 years and we continue to go there for eyeglasses almost every year whenever I go visit my extended family who're still in the area. They have the best selection for all the shops in the area especially if you're looking for high-end frames. While they show the list prices of the frames, they do give some discount and I've gotten the best overall prices from them as compared to other shops. As a result, they're also among the busiest shops in the area which resulted in some of the complaints below, though I would definitely disagree with some people's complaints about poor customer services. Yes, their staff may not be always attentive when the shop is packed as a zoo, but whenever there're issues or if you need special arrangements or rush work, they'll always take good care of you. Most recently I made a mistake myself (which I won't elaborate here) and was ready to eat the cost of my mistake (several hundreds!), but the owner was kind enough to help me spare the cost which required her to do some extra work personally. And: - Yes you definitely should make an appointment if you need an eye exam. I was actually surprised that as busy as she always is, the optometrist easily spent over half-an-hour examining and photographing my eyes last time (some issues with computer screen exposures) and more thorough than when I saw an American/Caucasian ophthalmologist for a medical eye exam before. Yes if you are young with near perfect eyes, it may be shorter. But don't expect to walk in and get a time unless you're willing to wait for an uncertain amount of time. They're booked solid esp. during weekends, so treat that as any of your doctors' visits, make an appointment. - Yes they may not be attentive when busy, but they're always friendly and I never felt rushed. They're really nice people who genuinely care about your getting a great pair of eyeglasses including the owners and their large staff, but can be busy during weekends. read more

It would really help if you knew someone working here. Customer service is bad (depending on who you get) I came here on Sunday morning right when they open and there was 4 party a head of me. I made a mistake of not making an appointment hoping it wouldn't take so long. Some China man doesn't even greet just asked what are you here for? I asked contact exam today he then asked if I had an appointment I said no. He looked at me do you have some time to wait today because we are all book today. I said yeah about how long. He said idk maybe more then 1 hour. I'm thinking okay since I'm here why not. Then he walks away and helps someone else uhh really? Some young hipster looking dude asks me have you been helped I said no. He gets right to it grabs my folder signs me in etc etc. After an hour the hipster dude asks me would you like to go shopping for an hour then come by I could give you a call. I said sure! Ran my errands came back an hour I realized that my file had been moved down. I asked and he said ohh there's one more person a head of you and smiles -.- ANOTHER 45 mins passes by I asked another lady hey what's taking so long she checked and said I was next I told her I've waited for almost 3 hours now wtheck she apologized and said I know we are backed up patents are taking longer then usual. Then she said I can give you some free contacts for making you wait so long. Nice! FINALLY it's my turn! I felt that the doctor didn't thoroughly checked me. She asked about my eye site then quickly checked me and that was it. I asked did I slightly go up? She said no it doesn't look like it. What!??!!! Don't brother wasting your time here go somewhere else read more

I never knew that any optometry business did same day pick-up. You can get glasses literally asap here. My glasses were ready in an hour. It beats having to wait weeks. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and man was it packed. Luckily I already had an eye exam a few days earlier and got a copy of my prescription. They have some lenses in house usually lower prescription though and lucky for me they had mine. They have a lot of brand name glasses like Tom ford, ray ban, Gucci, fendi, Dior, Celine etc. they also have sunglasses. I happen to like a pair of Dior glasses. They were priced at $339. I spoke with Peggy who is actually the owner of the business and she was willing to give me a lower price. The end price was much lower than the original and compared to other nearby optometrists, the price of the frame and the lenses are very good. Golden which is across the street in the 99 ranch plaza charges almost double for the cost of lenses. I'm really happy with my experience and purchase. I got glasses right away and for a good price. I will be coming back here anytime I need new glasses! Limited street parking read more

If you ever need a new pair of glasses/sunglasses, this is the spot to go! Eye on design is a place that has an amazing selection of eyewear from name brands and great priced brands too. I would like to give a shoutout to Dana there. She was very great and helpful whenever I'm in the shop. She is very attentive and understands what glasses fit best with your face shape. Will tell everyone to go here! read more

My wife and I come all the way from Las Vegas to get our glasses here. We are always treated with very personalized service. Today we came in and we were greeted by Candy who was super friendly. We went in soon after to see Dr. Cheng who is as caring as she is proficient. Peggy then helped us select frames and even suggested a great restaurant nearby. We look forward to being back here again. read more

I got my contact lens here, every staff was very helpful and friendly, the service is the best. They led me try on for one week, and came back for follow up, They were very patient to teach me how to put it on, very responsible and professional! read more

We are very pleased with the services here. Annie, Peggy and the whole staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They have 2 eye doctors on-site so we didn't have to wait long for our exams. I love how Annie has an eye for frames that best complement our face structures; she's awesome! The icing on the cake is after we selected our frames, our glasses were done in 20 minutes :) read more

Recently tried out Eye on Design and had a great experience in getting my new glasses. The eye exam itself was very business-y (no small talk or frills, which is fine by me), but the optometrist was helpful in explaining the nuances of how my astigmatism affected my prescription. For the frames, they have a massive (albeit pricey) selection and the staff are super helpful in providing recommendations and sorting through insurance information. Dana in particular helped me find a pair that was different from my usual but still complimented my face shape. read more

My boyfriend and I both came here for contacts and Brian was helpful the entire way. This place was very accommodating to our needs.

My struggles are echoing some of the previous reviews: Overly Understaffed and Pointless Reservation Firstly I wanna say the service was okay, not really attentive but okay, they respond to you when they get a chance. The doc was extremely professional and answered all my questions patiently, after you finally get to see her though. Here comes my struggle. On 10/11/2018 I called in and made an appointment on 10/13/2018 for an optometry test, the lady answered the phone put me down for 4:50PM. I arrived to their store at around 4:40PM, soon enough they gave me a basic medical form to fill up and told me to wait. There were 7 staff on the floor and 1 doctor in the back room, the store was crowded. So I waited, waited, and waited, for over an hour. I didn't get to see the doctor until 5:50PM, and 7 walk-in customers were sent to the doctor before me. I know at least 6 of these groups were walk-ins because the lady over the phone told me that they give a 30-minute time frame for each appointment/reservation, or otherwise some of these customers had waited longer than I did. My question is, if you want to prioritize the walk-in customers instead of appointments/reservations, why do you take any appointments/reservations in the the first place? It's really sad when a store decide to waste customers' time carelessly. I understand that the store wants to make money and doesn't want the walk-ins to walk out, but making pointless reservations just contradicts the principles of having a business by refusing to fulfill the promises with their customers. I wish you see this review and prepare to wait for the unnecessary wait time. read more

The staff here are incredibly kind and helpful, I highly recommend them :) I really appreciate them especially through these times. Thank you! read more

I made a appointment on 1:30. When I arrived they told me to wait for 30 mins. Okay, when I came back the 2nd time, and they still told me to wait for 2more people,and it took for another 30mins. Until 3:00 o'clock I haven't get chance to see the doctor yet, and I MADE a appointment on 1:30!! If you cant make the schedule work, don't ask the patient to call before they come since the appointment schedule doesn't work anyway!! I left without check my vision and wastes 2 hours here! Worst experience ever!!! Wont come anymore! read more

I've been a long time customer and I've recommended this optometry to many people. Brian is always helpful and very knowledgeable on different frames and how to take care of them! Doctors are great and very caring! Hardly no wait time and I got my new glasses that same day!! Amazing place and will recommend Eye On Design to many family and friends! read more

Came to Eye On Design Optometry every year since 2000 with my boyfriends and friends. Don't expect they will serve you once you walk in. Usually, you have to find someone who is free to help. Almost every visit the office is pack but somehow, they can get things done quickly because you can pick up your glasses in less than an hour. People who work there are very busy but once they help you, you'll know they are very friendly and helpful. read more

Always happy to see the smiling faces of Peggy, Brian and Nancy here. This place is popular and has the newest designs so naturally if you're looking for an eye exam, make sure you make an appointment! read more

Decided to come and try this place out after a friend suggested it. I have to say this little shop is amazing., they were quite busy upon my visit but you can not fault a business for doing well (Especially on Saturday afternoon in my case). When it was my turn I had their complete attention, and they showed me a bunch of styles similar to what I currently had and suggested some they thought would fit me well. And I ended up going with one that they recommended. They seem to have a few optometrist on staff here and I was seen Dr Tran, she was very peppy and nice, energetic may be a good way to describe her. In the end she was very nice and helpful. If you are in need of glasses this is great a place to go. Prices are on our with most optometrists slightly on the cheaper side, their selection is huge, and for most prescriptions they can get your glasses done in a hour. read more

I need a pair of sunglasses, so while waiting for my wife shopping in Ranch99 , I walked into Eye on design. Upon Stepping into the store, the sales person Brian approached me immediately with a warm smile, in no time he introduced the best for what I needed with a very reasonable price, with his professionalism and the perfect taste of fashion I learned a lot of eye glasses. Thank you so much Brian, and definitely will recommend to my friends when they need any glasses. read more

BEST optometry ever!!! I have been coming here for at least 10 years now. Always quick and easy. In and Out in under 30 mins. Also, sometimes they can even get your glasses to you same day. BUTTTT now I only come here for eye exams because of Jins... But the Optometrists here are all nice and friendly. Also super cheap. Only $55 for glasses/contacts exam. Thanks!!! read more

I always come to this place to get my eyes check. There are a lot of ppl come here but it wont take long. Looking for Brian to help you out...he is amazing and will make things happen :) impressed as always. read more

My experience at Eye on has been pleasant and great. Feel welcome every time I visit this place to get my new glasses.
