The comprehensive tests and machines used are top notch. She does different tests than what my former optometrists have done. Dr. Choi is knowledgeable and is very compassionate in what she does, and she knows how to pick out a frame and color to match your face. She picked a frame for me, but I wanted to try a few others. I ended up getting the frame she picked out. She was able to cut lens for my old frames as well, which was awesome! This office is very clean and gorgeous, and it has a great selection of frames to choose from. I love the brands they carry here. When I visit, there's typically parking in the free parking lot.

I was forced to go to The HMO optician who did not have the state-of-the-art equipment that she uses and did not have the patience or the ability she has. I was told my eyes could only be corrected to 20/25. As a working photographer and cinematographer, that was not good news. Medicare be damned, I ask her for a second opinion. She was able to get me to 20/20 and I will be forever grateful! Go to the best, there is no other!

When asked to explain it she was unable to do so in a way I could understand. I would NOT RECOMMEND SEEING HER. ONTHE BRIGHT SIDE. PAUL the optician was the VERY BEST. He helped me with fitting my glasses to make them more comfortable. He was kind, smart and a joy to work with. CYNTHIA who was the manager of the Optical side she Was FANASTIC too. 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.

I had never been to an eye doctor before that actually takes their time with me. She explained what she was doing, explained how my contacts and astigmatism works, and even explained the Lasik process to me. The office is nice, clean, and staff is friendly. Located within the small Manhattan Village mall and easy to find with plenty of free parking. I highly recommend Dr. Kuriki and I have found my new eye doctor!

I went to do eye check, after the eye check they told me they don't have the glasses they did couple of calls while I'm there to provide the glasses. They gave me a bad and a good news. good news that they found the glasses. Bad news that it doesn't have warranty. Of course I need the warranty, so they told me they will call by next week and let me know if they can provide it. After around 3 weeks they sent an email that they can't provide it. What do you think? Why didn't you ask what is the glasses I want if you can't provide all glasses? Why you wasted my time coming all this way and do the eye check for the prescription?

I hadn't heard a word from the office so I called right about May 10th. I was told we need to set up surgery dates. I said I thought we had dates for June 2nd & 9th. Apparently there was a surgery date for June 2nd & the June 9th date needed to be set up. I had a batch of appointments made during this phone call. I was also told at the time I needed to come in to the office or go to the pharmacy for eye drops, wipes and a face mask. I came into the office the next day and paid $60 for the items. I also asked while at the office how much the out of pocket costs will be. I was told they would find out the out of pocket costs the next day. On May 18th I had my doctors appointment for surgery approval & paid $25 for a co pay. I go back to the Dr Semel office May 19 for my pre op appointment. After the procedure I again asked before I left what will the out of pocket costs be. I was told my insurance will pay for surgery. However to get the surgery done to get rid of my glasses will be $5,500 for each eye. I then had to cancel all the appointments. I can't commit to a $11,000 payment right now. I should've been told this information when I came in for my first appointment. What a waste of everybody's time & money
