Jasmin is amazing....she fixed my vintage sunglasses in less than 1 minute and with a smile!

I have been a client for several years, Hospitality and Service are immaculate. Thank you

I received the wrong prescription for both glasses and contacts. They fixed the glasses after the second visit but refused to take back the contacts because the box was open. read more

I found this place because it was the closest Optometrist to me according to my insurance. I did not have high expectations at all as I usually don't have a great experience at the Optometrist. To my surprise, this was probably the best Optometrist experience I've ever had! (coming from someone with life long vision issues). Dr. Fuentes was so kind, cool, informative, and made me feel comfortable + well taken care of. Luiza helped me pick out the best possible frames for my progressive prescription and lens thickness, and was also so kind and patient with me while I searched (it can be hard!!). I don't want to go anywhere else again! I have full trust in this team. If you are debating, do ittttt. read more

The team here is fantastic. I've been seeing Dr. Ito for many years and she always has a very professional staff. Today new lenses were put into my glasses and I never left the car. Their Covid-19 protocols are great. From what I saw, they are doing their best to keep everyone as safe as possible. Thanks team. read more

Staff was exceptional - careful, kind and thorough. Offices were spotless with participation. And they have great follow thru over text.

Best example I have seen of any business operating during this pandemic. They are on top of their game: doors are locked until you arrive in for your schedule appt, they meet you at door w mask gloves a bottle of sanitizer and take your temp + ask questions about your exposure. I've been going here for ~5-6 years and they've always been compassionate and professional optometrists, but they asked for a review and I felt compelled today read more

Awesome experience, always great group and would recommend them always read more

Great care and service. Very thorough eye examinations by staff and also both doctors explain technical terms very clearly. A very happy patient! read more

Recently visited to have some new lenses put into an old pair of frames i had. Everybody there was very kind and helpful. Javier was the best. He was able to provide plenty of options for different lenses and was super attentive, helping me with knowledge on different materials and other factors for certain kinds of usage. It was great to have somebody there that really cares about your glasses, being sure that I had everything I needed. At the end of the day I got transition lenses with some glare protection for my computer. I was very skeptical at first to try them, but upon receiving them I am so happy, and they look great!. No more switching from frame to frame to help my eyes from the sun, and they are very comfortable for long hours on my computer. Thanks Javier! Overall a great custom experience with quality product and people. Will definitely be returning here. Thanks Ocean Park Optometry! read more

Ocean Park Optometry - They did such a great job helping me pick out my lenses. And they were able to mount them onto my vintage pair. So happy with them! - Optometrists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Staff is very professional and friendly here! i love Dr. Fuentes. they are very good about the covid precautions. I love all of the staff members here. Dr. Fuentes has also been more than willing and helpful in finding contacts that suit my comfort the best. Safe to say i've found the ones after trying so many! read more

Amazing service! I was helped out by Javier who was very helpful in helping me choose the best lenses to fit my personal needs/preferences. 10/10 recommend coming to this office, the team is amazing! read more

Ocean Park Optometry - My pair of glasses I got! - Optometrists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

All time favorite staff! They are all so helpful. Javier and Sekari were able to answer all my million questions and helped me make the best decision for my contacts and glasses. Will always return again! Thank you! read more

I love Dr. Ito. I've been going here for several years. She is so knowledgeable about the field of optometry, and she's always willing to spend time sharing her knowledge. She addresses my concerns in a smart, holistic way that makes me understand more about eye care. I trust her completely and would recommend her to anyone. Also, all of the support staff is fantastic. They're knowledgeable, polite and attentive. What a terrific team of caretakers. read more

I had been dreading going to the eye doctor for a long time and waited until the last possible moment before I ran out of contacts when my co-workers suggested Visionworks. I made an appointment online and was e-mailed all the forms I needed to fill out so it was all done before I even stepped foot into their office! When I walked in for my appointment, I signed in to the iPad at the front desk and was taken back to start my eye exam after waiting only a few minutes. Pretty normal procedure here but I did notice how clean everything was--a must for an eye doctor's office! I finished all the tests and met with Dr. Sarah Ito, who was incredibly warm, kind, and helpful in explaining the results of my exam, as well as suggesting a prescription and contact lenses that fit my needs. She put things in terms that I could understand, which is difficult considering how little I know about anything medical! Once Dr. Ito had checked my prescription, I was assisted by a woman in the front who looked at my insurance plan and worked through the paperwork and calculations to see what I owed. She was easygoing as well and told me the office would call and e-mail me when my prescription was in (which they did) and that was it! Simple enough. All in all, this was actually a pretty enjoyable experience, everyone I encountered was knowledgable and friendly, and the office was a beautiful, clean space. They also worked very efficiently so I was in and out of there quickly (about a half an hour total). I would definitely recommend Visionworks, especially if you hate going to the doctor as much as I do! read more

I had such a horrible experience with Luiza. She was incredibly rude and dismissive of me. Will not be returning again!

Dr Sarah Ito and the crew always do a thorough job. I have been going here for 4 or 5 years and have been impressed with their service. The technicians know their stuff and there's very little turnover telling you they must take care of the employees! I love that they remind me for annual exams via texts. Making appointments online is great. Antwanett always knows which frames look great and researches how to "max out" my insurance! Sometimes, I even read their newsletter! read more

I've been a patient here for a long time but I'm looking for a new optometrist now. At my last visit they charged me $84 for a mandatory retinal scan without the courtesy of a heads up. I'm not opposed to a scan necessarily but I deserve to be verbally notified before the visit. read more

This is my third year going here. Great service from Dr Ito and her staff. Super friendly and it's all high tech. No more puffs of air in the eye. There's a new machine for that! I also got some glasses that are now fitted with this crazy machine that measure your face or something. I always feel as if they do a very thorough job and explain everything that's going on without dumbing it down. It took about 45 min for the eye exam and checking out. read more

See the photo I attached of my prescription. There is a $35 charge to recheck your prescription no matter what, no matter how much time has lapsed, no matter if they made a mistake. Sarah Ito just wants your cash. My exam is from 10/10/12, 5 months from the date of my review. Also, sometimes you don't get new glasses right away after an eye exam. I also wear contacts and didn't have an immediate need for new glasses. But when I needed to figure out what was going on, Sarah Ito only wanted more money from me. What is really happening is that Sarah Ito caught herself up in a lie and is trying to work her way out of it. She even used her Yelp response to advertise the luxury brands she carries. What a slimeball. 2 Yelp Elite reviewers have given this place 1 star. Many of the 5 star reviews are from users who have 2 reviews, and seem to be fake. Everyone - YELP WORKS. I *never* would have gotten this type of response from Sarah Ito if I hadn't turned to Yelp! read more

This has been by far the best experience I have ever had at a optometrist. I found this place through my insurance company and with help from, of coure, Yelp, I made an appointment. Really easy to make an appointment and they have great hours, especially the fact they are open on Saturdays helped a lot. All the availble forms that are needed to be filled out prior to my appointment were available via their website, and can be done online. Parking is highly available since it is located in a large plaza. As soon as I entered I was greeted right away and had minimal wait to see the optician. My optician was Arvin, and he was great. Explained my insurance plan to me and worked with my budget. Helped me find a frame based on what I wanted in a frame and how it would function based on my face shape. Next I saw the Dr. Dr. Ito is very nice and she also threw in jokes here and there. It was a very pleasant experience. She explained every aspect of the tests that she was conducting on myself. Dr. Ito made me feel very comfortable in everything that she was doing. My glasses were ready in four days, exactly as promised. Overall I would recommend this place to anybody. They have a wide variety of frames, the staff is really nice. And they accept a lot of different kinds of insurance. I even told my sister to go here when she needs to have her eyes re-evaluated. read more

The prices left me wide eyed! Like many of the other reviews, yes it does take a long time to book an appointment here but that's beside the point. I've been going here for years and have ordered glasses and contacts from here but my most recent visit was very expensive for just exams. Do NOT get a contact lens exam. Even with my eye insurance (VSP) it was $149. Both VSP and Ocean Park Optometry lead you to believe it's covered by insurance when it is not. Just get a regular eye exam nothing else unless you want to pay $$$$. Other places charge half that without insurance. Save money and go somewhere else even if you have eye insurance. read more

In addition to the precise prescriptions provided by Dr. Ito, her optometrist Antwanett has a consummate appreciation for their product lines in eyewear and does a remarkable job in finding the right glasses to complement your needs and your appearance. read more

I've had 3 appointments so far with Ocean Park Optometry and they've all been great experiences. There's been no waiting, Dr. Ito is really thorough and informative, and the staff is so helpful and courteous (especially Antwanett, she's the best!)! I would highly recommend this office to anyone! read more

After booking an appointment a year prior, I showed up for my appointment and they had canceled it without notifying me. After wasting my morning on the phone, talking to them, they didn't offer an apology. Instead they told me that they canceled it in order to make room for other patients. In the middle of COVID we need compassion from doctors and these people lack it. I had gone there for many years. If you like unprofessional service focused on the bottom line, then this doctor is for you. read more

Quick and friendly service with a lot of great frames to choose from. I think they should add Persol, but the Ray Ban selection is quite good. Weird question: why doesn't the staff include any males? read more

It's the little things that mean a lot. I have a favorite pair of sunglasses that I wear almost every day for years now and they were running down and had a couple of pieces that were broken. I stopped by Ocean Park optometry and they're awesome staff took care of it for me. Fixed the nose piece, and cleaned everything up. A total tune-up. Great work, fast, and much appreciated. read more

Easy to make an appointment, they are being very COVID safe. Sanitary equipment, screening, temp checks and plastic barriers. The doctor was great and answered my questions. Antwanette helped me pick out frames and worked out the best deal with my insurance. AND easy parking. Great office I would recommend to friends! read more

I love everything about this optometry! The staff and Dr. Fuentes are amazing. They've helped with my concerns and issues - I truly feel like they care. read more

I have been going to this establishment since 1981. They are great. In my 60's I still have 20/25 vision. They carry interesting frames and all the tests needed to keep tabs on your vision. They let you know about possible future issues and how to avoid deteriorating vision. Good COVID protocols. read more

Dr. Ito and Dr.Flores are top notch and the staff are quite professional and efficient. I couldn't recommend a optometrist more, they are great! read more

I received the attached screen shots of an email and text message which I thought were reminders of the appointment I had scheduled a year in advance. When I arrived promptly at the time indicated I was told the appointment had been cancelled because I hadn't confirmed. When I showed them the text message and email I was told I could come back later with no apology or empathy for my wasted time. I'm not sure about you but I value my time more than that. I will be finding a new eye doctor. read more

Great experience. From service, safety and reasonably priced. The gentlemen at front desk was warm and friendly as well as the technician Antwanett.
