This place not only examined my eyes to determine what I would need to make my vision better but it…read morehonestly gave me a feast for the eyes. They did have a significant slip-up, that I will document but that did not disqualify them from receiving five stars because it was a gap in service that with some care and attention it can be closed. I had recently lost my credit card and I went to this place only with my debit card. When I went there I did not understand that the process would cost me 89.00 dollars and that was a cost that I did not budget for but I could still cover, not because I am rich, but because in the moment I could stitch pennies and dimes together into a net of rescue. I could get something put in my eyes to dilate them for test purposes. But that would mean that I could not drive because my eyes would be blurry. But all this hassle could be avoided if I took pictures of the inside of my eyes. The eye- tech (not her actual title, I am sure) explained that they could use a retinal imaging machine to take pictures of the inside of my eyes. But this would cost extra--- 39 dollars extra, I think., or close to that price I did not write everything down, but it was around that cost. I expressed that I would opt for that option but I also expressed that someone should have told me that from the get. Like why would you not tell me the cost of services before. I came Or more broadly, why would you not present options before I attended the appointment. A friend let me borrow 50 bucks over Venmo. I sent the money back. She send me a picture where she was charged interest. I sent her 5 more dollars to ensure she got her full amount. She has her own house and an AirBandB. Meaning that some people will mind their pennies with such a pinch that they would rather bring a partner to drive them, then spend the money on the eye picture taking machine. I hope you could all understand that what I am saying is just a common sense practice that is really a best practice. Like don't surprise your guests. Let them open their eyes wide when they are asked to for eye exam purposes, not with surprise bills. I also had to order some new pairs of glasses, and that cost like 25.00 more. And then I would have to also pay the price of the co-pay. So by the end of the visit I had all I needed but at the cost of 89.00 dollars, or so. It was around that neighborhood. Being able to understand these costs upfront, again, just seems like a best practice that they should adopt. This will take their services from good to stellar, in one Yelper's opinion. However, the whole experience was like visiting my eyes within and understanding them to be a gallery at an art museum and a universe within their own right. When the eye-tech used the retinal machine to take pictures of my eyes, I was like this is super cool. She guided my head so my eye could find a camera lens. When I saw inside I saw like a machine's signature mark. Then the flash came-- a clear green blast. It was cool, and it made me imagine that I was being hypnotize by a robot witch. When I saw the optometrist he showed me the pictures taken by the machine, meaning, I saw my eyes from within. And that is were I saw the universe inside of my pupils. It looked like red branches that stretched for infinity. I should have taken pictures of the pictures. The trees within my eyes were a cosmic forest that spread throughout the space that resides within each of us. It was grand to see the promise of splendor that molds my sight of wonder. The optometrist- did not get his name- explained to me that my left eye was not working as well as my right eyed. But not only did he explain it, I could also see what he was talking about. He used another machine to cover my left eye and I saw well. When he covered my right eye, and I relied on my left, my vision was blurry, it was kind of scary to understand that my left eye had become withered due to age. It was evidence that I could see, not just feel. The eye department helped me pick a pair of shades that will come soon enough. I have transitioned into an eye glass wearer. I wanted red frames, I was informed that these were not an option. My options were either olive, blue, or black. I wanted some color. I always want some color. But I felt that the new eye tech person, from the frames department, within the store, believed it was better for me to stick to black or blue. So I did. This place was clean, professional, and moved well. I did not wait too long nor did I feel processed. I felt like my eyes mattered to them, which is a great feeling to feel at an optometrist office.

Beyond the optometry office where doctors see patients, they also have a section where you can shop glasses and sunglasses.

She sees but cannot accurately interpret. So one may think she is near blind, but she is not. This made the appt difficult for the staff as I am sure they wanted to do right by her and get her a proper prescription. I was overwhelmed by the patience, creativity and kindness of most of the staff with Dr Kim being the best. She simultaneously created a positive environment for my Aunt and I, while subtly feeding me important facts about her eye/medical care. She pointed out that progressive lenses may now contribute to a fall risk as my Aunt is unable to use them properly (makes sense) but we may want to consider getting another pair for viewing old photos up close and just stick with distance glasses to watch TV since that is her primary hobby at this stage in her life. All of this was done in such a way my aunt never felt that she was not part of her care. Dr Kim was creative and took extra time trying to do various tests she could do rather than just jumping to the lastest script. I want her to know she is amazing and I am a knowledgeable and harsh critic. In addition, I have blasted this place in the past for rudeness. So me taking the time to come on here and update is a powerful statement. In closing, I do need to add one truth that is not so good-the parking is extremely bad for this shop. Whereas I can walk far to an appt not everyone can, and I hope they can figure out how to remedy this so we can continue going.

I was previously a patient of Dr. Phan since 2010, and Dr. Lozano took over my care in February 2026. She's extremely thorough, especially with my high‑myopia‑related issues, and the visual field and scan process was smooth and well organized. For optometry and glasses prescriptions, I see Dr. Isabella Duong, who's excellent and very patient. I've also seen Dr. Olivia Wilde here in the past with good experiences. As a long‑time patient, I've always found the staff accommodating, though the office can be busy and phone pickup can be slow -- pretty typical for a large practice. Parking is decent; the Lomita Blvd side usually has more spaces. A few improvements I'd love to see: 1. Online payments. Mailing checks or writing credit card info on paper isn't ideal, especially given past issues with mail theft in the area. 2. More waiting room space. Since the merger, both the main waiting area and dilation area feel cramped. 3. Online scheduling and reminders. Other nearby offices already use digital forms and appointment systems, which would help avoid missed‑appointment fees. Overall, the doctors here are excellent, and modernizing a few systems would make the experience even better.
