Dr. Oku is amazing! She is kind, thorough, and makes eye appointments way more enjoyable than they have any right to be. She explains everything clearly, answers all my questions, and somehow makes getting your eyes checked feel relaxing instead of awkward. You can tell she truly cares about her patients and wants the best for them. Plus, thanks to her, I can confidently say I'm seeing life a little more clearly now Highly recommend Dr. Oku to anyone looking for a great eye doctor! read more

I just wanted to take a moment and praise the team at Riviera Village optometry. The doctors, of course, are phenomenal but speaking to the admin team, they really truly care. This morning my family and I overwhelmed their team with four different phone calls within an hour of them opening, and while I can confidently say that many administrators would normally be thoroughly annoyed by that, their team was not. Their focus was on getting us what we need even if that meant taking a few more calls from us than expected. We live 30 minutes away now from them and would still gladly make the drive whenever we need to, even though there are many optometrists closer read more

I've been coming to this office for about 4 years and they're honestly the best!! I've had only good experiences here with all the staff and they've even helped me picked out new stylish glasses! They are really patient and take their time when taking care of you. You can tell they really care about everyone they treat. read more

I just had my first visit with Dr. Oku and from the front desk to Ginger her nurse I was very pleased. I've been going to a chain optometrist for a couple of years because life was kind of messy. It was very nice to sit with a provider who stressed the importance of vision health. I did not feel like I was being sold anything and as a nurse for 25 years could tell Dr. Oku cares about her patients. I go back in a week for a follow up with her advised plan and will update my review then read more

Everyone was really friendly from front desk, techs, the doctor, and optical. I feel like they really cared about my vision and listened to me. My new prescription works great, and I love my new sunglasses. They have a great selection there, and their cleanliness and professionalism is highly noted. Thanks for the quality care, I would highly recommend. read more

I found this new optometry office for me and my daughter near me, and visited Dr. Lynn Oku for our routine eye exams and new eyeglasses. The eye exam felt very thorough. She was very nice, warm, and very patient with me, especially in finding the contact lenses that fits me. The staff were very friendly, too. They were very patient with me and my daughter, especially in finding eyeglasses. I just hope they have more selections for frames. The office was very spotless and modern. I highly recommend Dr. Oku to anyone looking for an optometrist who truly cares about her patients. read more

I have been going to Riviera Village Optometry for over 15 years and I am always thoroughly impressed by the experience. The office is clean and modern. The staff is exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, making me feel welcome from the moment I walk in. Dr. Oku takes the time to explain each step of the eye exam and answers every question patiently, ensuring I understand my options for vision correction. The staff takes the time to help me choose a frame (from their vast selection) that fits my face and compliments by complexion. I highly recommend Dr. Oku and this optometry office to anyone looking for professional, caring service. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Oku for many years now and I've had an exceptional experience. She is very knowledgeable and personable. The front office staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Oku for over 15 years for my eye care, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She and her entire staff are consistently professional, friendly, and welcoming. Dr. Oku truly takes the time to listen and answer all my questions. I always feel well cared for and never rushed. Highly recommend! read more

The service was fine and they did what they needed to do but what I noticed is they did not clean the machines or have any plastic wrappings around it which I noticed as soon as they started checking me, then a few days later I developed what seems to be contact dermatitis above and in my eyelids right under my eyebrow which is very concerning and has stayed with me for a couple weeks. Which leaves me to question how clean they keep the place. I personally would not go here for that reason alone. read more

We adore Dr. Oku whenever we visit for our check ups. She is caring with her examination, clear with her explanations, and concise with obtaining the results that exceed our expectations. Thank you Dr. Oku !! read more

Riviera Village Optometry is located in Redondo Beach. There is street parking and a close by, open parking lot. Dr Mark Williams has been our family's optometrist for over 35 years. He is not only a skillful optometrist but is kind, warm, helpful and a genuinely nice person. The staff is also friendly and helpful. You couldn't go to a better place. Highly recommend. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Oku for about 10 years now and she and her team continue to be the very best in eye care. Prior to meeting Dr Oku, I had seen over 6 other optometrists and ophthalmologists in search of someone who could fit me with contacts lens that were both clear and comfortable. I wear hard gas permeable lens which are apparently less common. None of these docs could fit me well or cared to try and make adjustments. I had resigned to the fact that I would have to fly back home to Hawaii to see my childhood eye doc who originally fit me with great contacts. Then I met Dr Oku and her staff. They not only were warm and welcoming, but extremely caring and understanding of my situation. Dr Oku spent a lot of time (probably close to an hour) asking me questions, examinating my eyes, and addressing my concerns. She reassured me that she understood and would order contacts that she felt would be best. She also reassured me that if the contacts ordered were not a perfect fit, she could make adjustments and exchange them. Well, when I put on the contacts, the comfort and fit were perfect (feels like you have nothing in your eye) and the vision was great!! Over the past 10 years that I have been seeing Dr Oku, my prescriptions have changed and I now need multifocal lens. I have sometimes had to report to Dr Oku that a lens was not quite right. They will have me come right back in, ask questions, order a replacement and make sure I get the perfect lens! I have also gotten several pairs of glasses through their office, all fitted perfectly in their office. They have a great selection of frames and can make thin lightweight lens. So, if you have had a tough time getting a perfect fit of contact lens or glasses, look no further than Dr Oku and her team. She now takes care of my wife and kids as well! read more

I made an appointment at Dr. Oku's office as my husband is a long time patient and has always spoken fondly of her. As someone who has worn glasses since they were 3, I'm pretty choosy about my eye doctors. Dr. Oku is great. She has a friendly and warm demeanor and her eye exam was thorough. She didn't blink an eye (ha..sorry) at my somewhat complicated prescription and I had my glasses and trial contacts within three weeks. The office itself is on the smaller side, but the staff is super friendly and they have a good size selection of frames to choose from in-house. I was able to get an appointment very quickly and I will continue to visit this location for my glasses and contacts! read more

Lynn is super friendly and was very thorough and efficient. Got a pair of new glasses within a week!

Attentive, personalized service. Not the cheapest around, but worth it for the service and aftercare (e.g. of frames broken in a fall).

This has been my eye doctor since I got my first glasses in the first grade! Dr. Williams and Dr. Oku have cared for me and many members of my family so well for many years, and I highly recommend them. read more

So I'm preparing to leave on a two week road trip, to both vacation and visit colleges with my teenage son, when I realize I've got only one fresh pair of contacts left. I immediately go to my computer and find one of the gazillion emails I've received from 1800Contacts prompting me to reorder and submit an order for a small quantity of lenses, agree to overnight shipping so I have them for the trip. I get a call this morning from 1800Contacts stating they cannot fill my order because my Optometrist would not authorize the prescription on record. That they would need updated perspiration to ship the order... understand here, that I am using the same glasses and contact lenses prescribed based on my last exam without issue. So I call Dr. Williams' office, explain the situation yada yada, after which the gal on the phone gives me the "office policy" speech about needing to see patients regularly blah blah blah... I explain, as above; same glasses, same contact lenses, no problems, need contacts for the trip etc. She says she'll need to speak with Dr. Williams and get back to me. I'm thinking "cool, Dr. Williams is a cool dude, he'll get it..." Well I guess I missed the mark. In pure Soup Nazi fashion, the answer five hours later at 4:30 PM was "no contacts for you!" I guess contacts, access to an unlimited supply is the leverage they have on your wallet... Thankfully there's no Optometry Gestapo that's going to break down my door and take my glasses if I don't schedule an exam soon... So for the next two weeks during my vacation with my son, hiking in the wood, fishing, water sports etc., it's either glasses or a soft focus world where I can't even read my watch. When I get home, I'll don my perfectly good glasses and start shopping for a new Optometrist. Thanks Mark! read more

Going without needed eyeglasses has its advantages: can't see dust on the furniture & can't see the wrinkles on my face, I mean the fine lines. Disadvantage: the TV is blurry. Can't see wrinkles on the actors either, why does everybody look so young? Oh wait...... So I decided it was time to make sure I don't have some creepy degenerative eye disease. No, I just need glasses, according to Dr. Oku. She's young (no fine lines yet), pretty, professional, patient, with a very gentle chairside manner. I was lured by her string of 5-star reviews, to which I add one more. As eye doctors go, Dr. Oku's the real deal. The eye exam was interesting and rather fun, and then we chose rimless lenses for my new specs, which will be ready in about 10 days. Holy crap, is that John Lennon in the mirror?! Oh wait..... Anyway, thought for the day: "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. - Marcel Proust read more

I chose Riviera Village Optometry based on Yelp reviews. I've seen Dr. Oku three times and she's excellent! Beyond great credentials, she's on top of all the current trends in eyecare. She diagnosed a chronic condition that I'd been struggling with and recommended treatment protocols that have been very effective. At one point, I had an emergency and she quickly fit me into her schedule. It's a great relief to have an excellent doctor with a 15 minutes' drive who is so knowledgeable and committed to maintaining eye health. She's also really friendly, supportive and welcoming, as is her team in the front office. Now that my eyes have recovered, I can't wait to choose a pair of cute frames from their beautifully curated collection. read more

Wonderful person. Always takes time to answer my questions. Always makes me feel at eze. This is a great office. The staff is also wonderful. Highly recommended! read more

Great service and wonderful doctors. Dr Oku is the best! Plenty of parking makes this a convenient spot to visit.

I have not had my eyes checked in over a decade. I found Riviera Village Optometry based on Dr. Oku's Yelp reviews, but I actually saw Dr. Wiliams. The front desk lady that handles the phones was always so pleasant, even when I reschedule 3 times. I really appreciate that Dr. William was exactly on schedule. I am so used to waiting way past my appointment time for doctors. My appointment was smooth and easy. He did not, in anyway, pressure me to get corrective eye glasses, but since I have such great insurance I bought a new pair for night driving. Dr. Davis did, however, exert some slight pressure for me to actually wear my glasses by telling me it would not make my eyes weaker. I still decline to during the day, but wear them at night when my stigmatism interferes. Bottom Line: A very nice and professional practice with a friendly, neighborhood feel! read more

I could not ask for a better optometrist! I have been with Dr. Oku ever since she started at the Riviera Village office. She is definitely very thorough and detail-oriented. I definitely feel like I am in good hands. In particular, I have avery difficult prescription for contacts because of an astigmatism and Dr. Oku always informs of my options and the newest lenses out there. At my most recent check-up, I got fitted with a great fitting lens. Yay! I can wear contacts now! And in terms of getting fitted for glasses, her office has a great collection and I can certainly count on her style sense to match me with frames that are the most flattering. For excellent personal care, I highly recommend Dr. Oku as your optometrist. read more

Dr. Oku has taken excellent care of me. She understands my vision by itself but also in context with my other medical issues. She is no ordinary optomitrist. I trust her skills and judgement without hesitation. I highly recommend Dr. Oku. read more

There are bad doctors, good doctors and then there are phenomenal doctors who work tirelessly to perfect your health. Dr. Williams is that kind of optometrist. The kind that perfects your vision no matter how long it takes. He has literally spent countless hours working with me, as my case isn't so cut and dry. I wouldn't trust my eyes to anyone else. He listens intently, educates you thoroughly and perfects each aspect of your vision. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. He is a great optometrist. I've already recommended him to several friends and they had the exact same experience. The office staff are genuine, caring and some of the sweetest women you will ever meet. You are in great hands all around. read more

Dr. Lynn Oku is an excellent Optometrist. We live in Korea-town and drive all the way to Redondo Beach. She takes her time and cares about her patient. My children adores her and enjoys every moment with her. I really appreciate them still take me even though we are late. The facility is in a great location and the staff is very friendly. Everyone should have Dr. Oku as their Optometrist. She's the best! read more

Dr. Oku is a great doctor, very helpful, very patient, very nice. Really what more could you ask for. I went to her last year and was thinking about getting contacts. I ultimately got both contacts and glasses from her and I love both. I should mention that I am really picky. She talked me through the pros and cons of contacts, helped me with finding the right kinds and with learning to put them in. She gave me samples for three different types, there were things I liked about two of them and on the phone she talked me through what was the most important and helped me break the tie. I was super happy wiht her recomendation. Also her staff is nice and professional. They make you feel very welcome and also give honest but nice opinions about "the look of glasses" on you. I have since moved and almost drove the 45 minutes to go back to her office just because i was so satisfied last time. read more

My husband, 2 boys and I all see Dr. Oku. She's patient and very thorough. You never feel rushed between the tests. Her office staff are always smiling and my boys feel very comfortable and at ease when we go to our annual appt. read more

Just had my first appointment with Dr Oku at Riviera Village Optical. We're new to town, so based my selection on Yelp reviews. The staff was welcoming and Dr Oku was great--thorough, professional, and friendly. I will certainly be back! Highly recommend! read more

Very sweet staff, open and welcoming. Doctor took her time and I didn't have to go through trials of contacts to fit my rx. Happy patient :)

Dr. Oku is a wonderful Eye Doctor, she always spends time with me and gives me a lot of options for contact lenses. The staff in the office is always friendly and responds to my needs promptly. I would recommend this office to anyone who is looking for an eye doctor in the South Bay area! read more

Lynn was my first optometrist after 10 years with the same eye doctor, only because we moved to Redondo Beach and he's too far away in Weho. She adjusted my prescription for both my glasses and contacts, it's made such a difference. Every time I run out of contacts and order, they're in within a couple days. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I wish for more flexible hours or Saturdays. Otherwise I love coming here! read more

I am pleased to write this referral on behalf of Dr Lynn Oku, who is as fine an optometrist as you will find. She is professional, thoughtful, thorough, caring, and dedicated to providing you with the best quality eye care available. Thank you, Dr Lynn, for your great customer service. Sincerely, Rex Romano Owner Rex Romano Builders read more

Dr. Oku took immediate action when I couldn't see out of my left eye. She made sure I was properly diagnosed, she checked up on me, and has taken excellent care of me ever since. I recommend her to all of my real estate clients and friends. Dr. Oku is personable, smart and a very good Doc. The office is friendly, helpful and convenient. Don't hesitate for one moment to call her for an appointment. read more

Dr. Oku is a fantastic optometrist! Moving here a couple of years ago, I was not looking forward to trying to find a new optometrist (I'm picky about my eyes), but I got lucky in finding Dr. Oku. Not only is she one of the nicest Drs. I know, she's excellent too! She doesn't rush you through an appointment and listens to your concerns. You'll love her too! read more

Dr Oku is the best!!! I had trouble with contacts for years (11 years) and have been to so many eye doctors that when I went to see her, I'd already given up on being able to wear them. In one visit, she fixed my problem. It's been a year and a half and now I have "back up glasses" because I wear contacts daily. That means so much to me and I'm so grateful to her for taking the time to hear me and then fixing the problem. I see better now than I ever have! read more

Dr. Oku has been caring for me, my wife, and two children for years. Dr. Oku and her entire staff are excellent and always make you feel welcome and well cared for. It always amazes me that the entire visit they treat you as if you were their only patient-never rushed, always so friendly. It makes dealing with my old eyes a pleasure! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Oku and her partner Dr. Williams for many years. They are both personable and sound doctors, and their staff is great as well. I enjoy my eye appointments. The staff is most accommodating at helping one find great frames. read more

Dr. Oku, if you are reading this THANK YOU!!! You are awesome. I finally know what is going on with my eyes. I really appreciate the time and patience that Dr. Oku gave me; she explained in detail her diagnosis of my eyes, gave me excellent tips. I am so happy to have found an eye doctor that really cares about her patients. read more
