They also have a wide variety of glasses, with really nice brands! I would recommend them to anyone!

I had a previous Optometrist for 20 yrs, therefore, this was a big step for me to find another…read moreDoctor. I found an Optometrist in Whittier, Dr. Poolsaad. Upon my visit, the staff in particular, Barbara, is very personable and made my visit as comfortable as possible from start to finish. Dr Poolsaad took the time to ensure I was comfortable and he listened to all my question and he provided me with answers I could fully understand. I was very nervous and I was thankful Dr. Poolsaad, administered each test with care and precision. The results are promising as my vision with my new contacts has improved. In further review, I found it very comforting that Dr. Poolsaad was familiar with my Retina specialist and that brings so much comfort in the case coordination for my eye health is required. Hands down! My family and I found our new Optometrist.

I came to him originally with red stinging eyes and he realized right away that I needed a special kind of contacts... my previous eye doctor tried several kinds but I still had the redness and stinging. Dr. Rice nailed it and got me back to normal on the first try. SO HAPPY! Since my initial visit, I've been back routinely and he's still the same great doctor with the same great laid-back attitude. When ordering contacts or glasses, the turn-around time is within a week. I would recommend him in a heart beat to anyone that asks. The guy that helps you with your glasses is also very helpful and gives you great insight and opinion on what you need and what works with your face and the current styles. Ladies at the front desk are incredibly nice, very welcoming and friendly. GO SEE HIM IF YOU NEED YOUR EYES CHECKED!!!! You'll love it there. Cheers to you Dr. Rice!

So far we are loving this place. My final review will be when I order my glasses in January 2026…read more My bestie referred me here after almost 20 years going to an office in Compton where, I can swear, I was overpaying for all services. It just made no sense. I came here, they were very quick, sweet, and had lots of variety to choose from. They also had designer frames which I like. Dr. Buldavino was our eye doctor. She was so thorough and explained everything. I really like her. She helped me understand a lot of my eye issues. She made it so easy to learn. I definitely will be back. I paid my exact copay and I paid for the picture of my eyes (which was very competitive pricing) and for the lens copay. Everything was clean from the rooms to the frame where area to the restrooms. There is parking but it can get packed. The staff is nice. I was happy that I could communicate via text. I was also able to complete my new patient paperwork and submit it to thevisioncenter@verizon.net

Dr Otsuji is phenomenal, because of him I was able to find out why my vision changed drastically in a matter of a year, he was the only Dr able to figure it out.

I get excited visiting his office because I know Dr will do great work to get me the right contacts and glasses so I can be comfortable until my next yearly appointment. You will not be disappointed visiting this amazing office, let the staff know Alberto sent you.

I first came to Visual Effects Optometry about eight years ago to get my first set of prescription…read moreeyeglasses before I was about to lose my vision insurance. I saw Dr. Dang back then and got the standard set of eye tests, and he found the parameters for my prescription. They have a large selection of frames, and I ended up with a nice pair of Oakleys that I still have to this day. Since I no longer have vision insurance, I have gotten new lenses a few times over the years from Costco. Since I got the frames here, I stop by once every few years when something doesn't feel right, or if the nose pads seem worn. Diane always seems to be at the front desk, and amazingly remembers me every time I walk in the door even though it is pretty infrequent. She is always so friendly and helpful, and adjusts my frames perfectly every time. I really should get a quote for new lenses from them next time, maybe it is not that much of a difference even without insurance. Dr. Dang was great, and Diane is the best. I would recommend Visual Effects Optometry.

The new doctor misdiagnosed my husband, and they clearly lack the proper equipment to take accurate measurements for hard contact lenses so the contacts they ordered didn't fit at all and had to be reordered. What followed was an absolute communication nightmare. We called multiple times asking for updates and were repeatedly told they would call us when they knew something. A full month went by with complete silence. When we finally called again, they got back to us a day later with the convenient excuse that the order had supposedly been "lost in transit." What a coincidence. A month of no contact, no follow-up, no accountability, and then suddenly the order just vanished? This practice used to be great. Now it's a waste of your time and money. Look elsewhere.
