Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. They do a thorough job without upselling everything.

Looks like Dr Taranto is not there anymore. The new doctor seems fine. However, even without new glasses, I only replaced the lenses and it was quite expensive even with insurance. read more

I've never felt so at ease at the eye doctors! My eyesight is pretty bad so I go at least every other year. Dr. Hyun made sure I was comfortable and was very knowledgeable, explaining each step for the smoothest visit. There's street meter parking and they validate across the street too! Would highly recommend this optometry! read more

How do you choose an optometry shop when there are so many on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City? Look no further: go get your glasses and contacts at Opulent Eyes. Everyone here is professional, experienced, friendly, and so nice. Dr. Kang has 28 years of experience, and she was extremely thorough and explained things well during my exam. Joe at the front desk is extremely courteous and pleasant. Mina is a terrific optician and fitted my new glasses perfectly. She helped me pick fantastic new frames (round purple tortoiseshell) and fitted them perfectly. I also had new lenses put into my old beloved Michael Kors frames, and she fitted those too. In addition, she reshaped two old pairs of glasses for me that had gotten warped over the years (my Coach prescription sunglasses and my Gucci single lens glasses). The customer service here is superb. The price point is very fair. They take a variety of insurance plans. The frame selection is fabulous. I can't speak to contact lenses because I don't wear them, but I would imagine that given such great customer service, contact lens wearers would walk out very happy, just as I did with my new glasses. Here's a nice plus: they validate parking at the Bank of America lot across the street! This is the optometry shop to go to! There are so many on Ventura Boulevard, so save yourself the time, headache, and hassle of reading a ton of reviews. Head to Opulent Eyes. read more

See all

Very happy with the care my wife and I received . Quick to schedule an appointment, the exam and info from the doctor was very thorough.

Super Nice Friendly and we're extremely efficient will be coming back to get more glasses

I am so glad this is my eye place! Recently, my father was visiting me from Illinois, and he severely hurt his eyes while trying to remove his contacts. He was in so much pain, so I called Opulent, and we were able to get him seen by the doctor in less than an hour! Dr. Hyun was so patient and kind and sweet to laugh at my dad's dad jokes. We found out that pieces of my dad's cornea were damaged and chunks were missing! We easily got a prescription, and the next day, my dad felt so much better, and his vision improved! Thank you, Opulent! read more

The Dr. Hyunwas great and efficient, he was able to get me in and out relatively easy! I got my prediction quick and easy ! and they also helped me with ordering safety glasses online with my specific prescription! Super helpful and Mango is a great customer service rep haha read more

I have been coming here for at least 7 years and I have always a had a good experience and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. They aware any question and help make sure you get the best bang for your buck. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for an optometrist in studio city read more

Wonderful visit, exam & I really love their selection of eye wear. The only problem was that I had too many "favorites" to choose from. Btw, Love my new glasses. read more

Great service! I had such an amazing experience. I came in for their $99 lens and frame and it went so smoothly, high quality glasses!

I think they messed up my number in astigmatism by just a little but made a difference in a high number like mine. I ended up going to a different optometrist and they fixed it. New ownership is little greedy and feels very corporate. It might be your jam but it's not mine. I changed to a different provider permanently. read more

Came here to update glasses for my husband and myself. We had a great experience. The office is clean and welcoming. The doctor was knowledgeable and easy to understand. We both had new exams and got new glasses from the updated results. They took our MPI insurance for the exam and glasses. Highly recommend. read more

great place! so glad I found this little gem. Staff was nice and getting a check up was super quick and easy!

Everyone at Opulent was so helpful. Joel took care of me and taught me a lot about my he health of my eyes. Thanks so much!

TL;dr: Dr. Joel Hyun did a great job, finding the best distance (driving, movies, TV, outdoor activities, etc) and near (using computer/phone, reading, etc) prescriptions for me and answering my questions about eye health. Since my personal preference is not to have progressive lenses but instead to have 2 pairs of glasses, the staff helped me pick great frames (but be aware, it takes up to 4 weeks to get a pair made, at least the frames covered by my insurance; YMMV). *Now a flashback to 2 years ago, when I got an eye exam from another optometry office in Studio City (let's call them Schmoan Schmoptometry). They gave me the prescriptions I asked for, for distance glasses and near/computer glasses, which I chose to fill at stores with great deals on beautiful frames (Warby Parker and Jins, check them out!). Immediately, I thought there was a mistake in how the distance pair was filled, because I still couldn't clearly read license plates when I was driving, and I could just read street signs clearly enough to pass my eye exam at the DMV. I went back to the store and had them double check the glasses, but they filled it exactly to the prescription. I even took the distance glasses to another optician's office, and they also confirmed that the lenses were filled exactly as the prescription. I just figured that my eyes must be getting much worse much faster, and I just had to muddle along waiting 2 years till the next time my insurance made me eligible for a new pair of glasses. But NOPE. It turns out, that *prescription* was off, not the glasses, not my eyes. How do I know? Because this time, in 2024, I came to see Dr Hyun at Opulent Eyes, and he did a CAREFUL exam, and got me a prescription that is absolutely perfect. The first day with my new prescription, I literally was driving around reading license plates out loud because I was so excited how clear my distance vision had finally become! Yes, Opulent Eyes does offer you a free bottle of lens cleaner if you write them a Yelp review, but I had already asked for Dr Hyun's business card before I even knew that because I wanted to share with Yelp people that here is a doctor who is respectful of patients' needs (LISTENS to you describe what you didn't like about past glasses experiences or trouble spots with vision), extremely good at what he does, and who will enable you to read license plates and everything else you need to see for distance vision! read more

I've been to Opulent Eyes twice and was seen by different optometrists, both very professional and knowledgeable. Costs were thoroughly explained. Also a great range of eyewear to select from. I've since moved to Sherman Oaks but my family and I will be returning for our annuals. read more

Office is nice, doctor is thorough. Front office is a disaster. Lots of issues with miscommunication, delays and dropping the ball on submitting orders. I'm now waiting close to two months for my pair of glasses I ordered from them. It's absolutely unacceptable and I will be going to a new optometrist moving forward. read more

I have never been to such an AWESOME optometry office ever before. 10/10 place. If I could give them more stars I would. At first, I was going to go to Warby Parker to get some glasses. I walked past here, stopped in, and Mina was so nice and welcoming. I wandered over to Warby Parker's but came RIGHT back to Opulent Eyes. And boy, am I glad I did. Mina made such a good impression. Now, I'm so happy to have found my new go-to optometry office. They have Incredible customer service and EXCELLENT quality work. These are probably the best lenses I've ever had. I'll be coming back whenever I need new glasses!!! Once again, thank you Mina and the team for being so helpful and professional. Plus! They have excellent prices and beautiful frames. read more

I had a pleasant experience here. Very welcoming office staff. The optometrist was very professional, thorough and friendly. The waiting area was clean, and well-organized. My appointment started right on time. This was my first visit here but my family has been coming here for a few years and has always had a good experience as well. read more

I had been looking for an optometrist ever since moving out to LA & probably tried 3 different ones before visiting Dr. Jeffrey. He is one of the most personable Drs I've ever visited and the banter makes me look forward to going in for an appointment. Victor the Optician is also incredibly nice & helpful. He & Dr. Taranto always spend time making sure they can get you the best deal possible which goes a long way when purchasing contacts. Their service is always super quick & efficient as well, to where I never find myself waiting in the front waiting room or in the patient room for long. The only way I'll switch optometrists is if one of us moves! read more

This one is tough. I like Dr. Taranto very much. he is personable and knowledgeable with an excellent bedside manner; he has the most up-to-date equipment and did a good job explaining the procedures and why my prescription was what it was. His front office/storefront is something else entirely. I like to have glasses made by my optometrist; in my experience, they provide the closest thing to my actual prescription. So I decided to do that again -- big mistake. My appointment was on Dec. 28th; I purchased new frames and lenses that day. I was told it would take about a week and a half; that is longer than I am used to waiting, but I thought it was worth it. On Jan. 6th, I emailed to get a status update - no reply. Since no one replied to my email, I called and was told my glasses would be ready on January 11th or 12th. When I called on Jan. 14th and was told that my lenses had come in, however one of the lenses needed to be redone. I was assured that a stern conversation was had with the lab, they were rushing my lenses, and I would absolutely have them on Tuesday, Jan. 18th. I called on Wednesday, Jan. 19th, and left a message; once again, no return phone call. On Thursday, Jan. 20th, I went into the office. I was told my lenses had arrived; they just needed five minutes to put them in my frames. After five minutes, the manager came back and once again told me the story of lenses being delivered incorrectly. I reminded him that he had assured me they would be ready on Tuesday, and it was Thursday. He told me that it was the lab's fault, they were behind, and it was this way all across the industry. I reminded him of my unanswered calls and emails; his excuse was that he had a lot on his plate. I asked for a refund and went to my car to get the correct credit card to be refunded. When I returned, he was on the phone with the lab (Where I learned that my re-do lenses hadn't even been started). He then proceeded to have a conversation with the lab, on speaker, in front of me. (In what I can only guess was an attempt to prove that it was the lab's fault?) At that point, I just wanted a refund. I had already pointed out that while I might not like lab delays, I could undoubtedly understand them; it was the unanswered calls and emails that turned me off. Bottom line, if you simply want an eye exam, Dr. Taranto is great, for anything else, find another place. read more

I just had my second regular exam at Opulent Eyes and it was delightful! I returned because of their Optomap retinal scan machine which can be done instead of dilation and then you get a digital image record of your eye health to compare to - its nerdy but I love it. The new team there is fantastic - Dr. Kim is confident and proficient, she was able to explain where my eye health is now and what I can expect in the coming years. Joe does a fantastic job running the office. Mina will help you pick out the best frames. Their selection of REALLY GOOD frames is amazing with a wide price range of options. The new lighting and set up in the office and frame shop is excellent. Go check them out! read more

Opulent Eyes Optometry - Super happy with my new prescription glasses! Thank you - Optometrists Near Me - Studio City, California

A Surprisingly Great Experience!! I wasn't sure what to expect. When I called to make my annual appointment with Dr. Taranto, I received the news that he had left Opulent Eyes. I decided to give Dr. Kim a try. I was happy with the new staff when I called - Joe, Jordan, and Mina. They were very professional and courteous and making the appointment was easy. Walking into the new Opulent Eyes was visually pleasing. It's so much brighter and more open than before. Plus, Joe, Mina, and Jordan were just as pleasant and helpful in person. Dr. Kim was very hospitable and more than competent. She has all the latest technology. She knows her business and she's very personable. I like to have a good time when I see my Doctors, and Dr. Kim was warm and friendly. Although I will miss Dr. Taranto, I am more than satisfied with Dr. Kim and her staff. read more

I am so grateful to the team at Opulent Eyes. Mina is absolutely wonderful. They were able to help get me a new prescription and a beautiful set of eye glasses and sunglasses. I've gotten eyeglasses from them and brought in my own sunglass frames and everything is turned out really well. I just really like them as a team as well and I know there are a ton of I wear options on Ventura, but this one is really superior. read more

I cannot praise this store more highly. I came in with a pair of glasses with a broken hinge/arm. I had just been to another eye store where the woman there told me there was nothing they could do after barely looking at them - she was super smug. The guy at this business, Victor, was wonderful! He is fixing my frames free of charge and was calm, kind, and listened to my issues instead of immediately turning me down and trying to sell me new frames, like the first store. Come here and work with Victor! read more

I just left this establishment and it was such a good experience. So clean, fast, and reliable. I will definitely be a forever customer. Also, their prices were unbeatable. I almost didn't believe my total it was so inexpensive. I can't wait to pick up my glasses! read more

They are wonderful!! I lost my last pair of contacts last week and have been stuck in glasses. I called several places trying to find a place that took my insurance and was open on Saturday. They went above and beyond to help me sort out my insurance coverage etc and got me some fresh contacts. I had a great experience with them and will be back! read more

The new opticians were awesome! Thank you for great customer service! read more

Nice and clean facility. Everyone is so professional and patient. Lenses turned out great. They helped me take care of an elderly neighbor's eye exam as well and were extremely compassionate towards her. read more

I've worn glasses my entire life, so I know a little about this, and I just got three pair of glasses here. I can happily report that they fit fine, the lenses were correct, and I really like the frames. Prices were good too! I'd recommend them without hesitation. read more

I'm in undergrad and I have been getting so much eye strain and headaches on the computer. I have to be on the computer for hours every day and then at the end of the day I have a splitting headache, and everything is double.  I went in to see Dr. Taranto and he explained to me that I needed prism in my glasses. I had been seeing the same Optometrist for the last 6 years and he always told me that I spent way too much time on the computer. After I got my glasses from Dr. Taranto, I no longer have any headaches, eye strain, or double vision! If I could give 6 stars I would! read more

It's always very easy and quick. The doctor is so kind and very knowledgeable. Also the front desk is wonderful and so helpful with insurance. read more

Such a great business, I called to make an apt and was delighted with the level of customer service. unfortunately, they didn't had the brand that I was looking for but I will come back 100% Thank you read more

Super kind considerate and great service. The optometrist was extremely kind and professional. The front desk was extremely helpful and took good care of us read more

Great experience every time. Dr. Taranto and staff are A1 people who have always treated me professionally and kindly. I'd recommend to anyone! read more

Highly recommend! Dr. Taranto is friendly, knowledgeable, and really takes the time to understand your needs and concerns. His passion for optometry and client care has really come through in all of my appointments! At the front desk, Vic is incredibly helpful and personable. From start to finish, Dr. Taranto's office offers the care of a small private practice combined with the most up-to-date technology you might find at a bigger optometry clinic. read more

Got super awesome frames and contacts here! Everyone is super nice and the check up was a good price. Definitely recommend

This guy is the best in the business. Have been going to him for years. Whenever I have an ocular problem (which unfortunately is more often than I'd like) I turn to Dr Taranto and the problem is solved. Super friendly guy. Great service. Knows everything there is to know about the eye. Can't recommend him and his practice enough. read more

Amazing. I went in here to have some sunglasses jeujed, and was so impressed by Vic. He was super helpful and welcoming, and took me from an "i'll stop here real quick to get my glasses fixed" customer to a "I'm abandoning my current optometrist and becoming a devoted customer" person. They have a great selection of Celine, Tom Ford, and Ray-Ban frames, too. read more
