Scratches in "new" lenses

Absolutely horrible place to get glasses from. After receiving my new glasses, I found multiple small scratch on the left side. I was able to order new lenses to get them replaced, got called in to drop off the glasses only to get a call saying they found a scratch and I have to wait for another order. Finally, after the new order, I go once again and got the lenses replaced, however, after arriving home and inspecting them I once again find the same type of stretches that they had the very first time. Optometrist is responsible for cutting the lenses to the frames and this continues to happen and is insanely unprofessional. It isn't my profession, but it's absurd to that they can't properly check frames before having their customers come in and charging them. Better off somewhere else. I'd rather go pay full price for new lenses than ever go to this place again.

Great place!

I think this place is great fast and easy. I personally have been coming to this place since I was small in fact I got my fist glasses here and till this day I've been getting my proscription and glasses. Now i bring my son here as well since he has to ware glasses also. The only complaint is that they really need to update their frames sometimes I feel like they always have the same kinds.. Oh and the doctor is great and friendly... Will recommend!

I've been going here since I was 5. The girls are very helpful in finding your frame. Always enjoyed going to get new glasses, every year.

I recently went to this optical place for an eye exam without insurance, and they told me I needed…read moreglasses, so I trusted their judgment and spent $600 on a pair. After waiting three long weeks for them to arrive, everything looked blurry and wrong the moment I put them on. When I returned to the store hoping for a refund, they flatly refused--no returns, no money back. Instead, they suggested I pay out of pocket for another exam as a "second opinion," with the vague promise they might help afterward. Frustrated but determined, I did exactly that with a different doctor, who confirmed I don't need any prescription at all. I sent them the new report as proof, expecting a full refund, but they still wouldn't budge. Their only concession was to let me turn the unnecessary glasses into sunglasses for a credit. With no other options left, I reluctantly took them up on that offer--only for it to drag on another three weeks with the glasses still not returned to me. It's obvious their initial exam was inaccurate, their staff refused to take responsibility, and corporate clearly doesn't care enough to make it right. I won't be going back, and I'd strongly advise anyone else to steer clear unless you're okay with the very real risk of being misled, overcharged, and left with no resolution.

She was incredibly detailed, friendly, and made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire exam. I've been to several optometrists before, but this was by far the best experience I've had. She was very patient and understanding about my concerns and my complicated vision needs. My previous glasses were made at Target Optical, and they were so uncomfortable that my eyes constantly felt tired and strained. The gentleman who helped me with my glasses fitting and insurance was also extremely professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to all my concerns. I just picked up my new glasses yesterday, and wow -- they are so comfortable! I'm beyond happy that I found this office, and Gold Optometry will definitely be my optometrist from now on. Highly recommend!

I went back about three times and saw four different technicians for adjustments. Mr. Matthew Park was the last person who assisted me, and he truly stood out. He was patient, attentive, and highly knowledgeable. He even remade my lenses at no charge and put in a great deal of effort to ensure I was satisfied. I went back once more for another adjustment, and now they feel almost perfect. If you're someone who's hard to please or have a more challenging case, I highly recommend asking for Mr. Park. He clearly knows what he's doing and goes above and beyond to help--without ever showing frustration.

The tech (didn't get her name) was also very nice and friendly. I wanted to give a 5 star review to Jeanette who helped me pick out my new glasses this time! She is the best! From the moment I walked in to when I left she was amazing! Very informative and honest while being so cool and fun to talk to. She's patient and doesn't try to rush you just to make a sale which is refreshing and calming. I hope she's here every time I have to come back! :) thank you for making it a great experience!

Full disclose, this review is regarding my experience only ordering glasses, no optometrist visit…read more TLDR: I got what I needed, but will keep looking for a different place for my family's needs. My toddler daughter needed glasses and we already had a prescription from her pediatric Ophthalmologist. I was searching for a place closer to home that carried toddler frames, because the recommendations from her pediatric Ophthalmologist at the Dohney eye institute in Pasadena were all in SGV. I called New Vision specifically asking about frames for my 20-month old and after being satisfied with their answers, made an appointment. However, their selection was disappointing and they didn't have the strap-on toddler frames, as I was told on the phone. I went with the only viable option reluctantly because I wanted to get the glasses and didn't want to waste more time. I gave them the prescription (in paper form) and they had trouble with their scanner so told me they'd give it back to me when we picked up the glasses. I asked if my daughter needed to be present, and they said yes. When glasses were ready, they texted me at 3:48 Friday asking me to make an appointment, and said they were closing at 4:15 and reopened on Monday. Had I been notified even a couple hours earlier, I could have rearranged my schedule instead of waiting until Monday. So that was disappointing. Finally when picking them up, my daughter tried them on but they didn't really do anything else so not sure why my daughter needed to be present or why I needed to make an appointment. And they also didn't have the paper prescription that I had been promised. The person giving me the glasses made zero effort and just told me how easy it is to request it again from the ophthalmologist office. I obviously know this. This just underscored to me that things aren't communicated properly about patient requests.
