The front desk woman was absolutely awful. She refused my request to speak with management,…read moreprobably because she knew I was about to file a complaint about her. I called to set up an appointment, and she didn't even bother to verify my information before telling me that my insurance was no longer accepted, even though I've been a patient here for almost ten years. I was completely baffled when she then suggested I seek other providers. I was very upset and requested a call back from Dr. Brinley. On top of that, the language barrier made it difficult to understand her. Ten minutes later, she called back and it was clear she had been looking at the wrong account and speaking to the wrong person, though she never admitted to her mistake. Only then did she finally confirm my name and date of birth, something she should have done in the first place. Now, I'm seriously considering finding a different office. This situation was unprofessional and frustrating.

The array of eyewear, name brands and frames is larger than you will find in your optometrist office. The best part of the visit is Marc the owner who gives you personalized attention (I recommend an appointment) and he is excellent at detail and what frame works for your face regarding size, fitting and style. Marc also manages to get the prescription updates perfectly every time. I live about almost an hour's drive from the Long Beach/Belmont Shore location but it's worth every minute of freeway driving to buy his super stylish frames. I highly, highly recommend you add Second Street Optique to your contacts for your glasses needs.

I gave this optometry small business a couple of chances. First off, the eye exam with Dr. Jang was…read morefine. My prescription for both glasses and contact lenses are clear, and the Optometrist was professional and patient. No problems. However, when it comes to actually getting glasses, I was less than satisfied with the service and quality. I purchased a pair of sunglasses (frame and lenses) from Vision Designs Optometry and found the lenses to be extremely poor quality compared to lenses made with the same prescription from another business. I paid a fee for hi-index lenses because of the magnitude of my prescription, and expected the lenses be thinner and lighter. It was the complete opposite. Additionally, the lenses made me dizzy even after wearing them for a couple of weeks. I brought this up with Sylvia, the optician, and was met with a dismissive attitude. When I asked if she could check if I indeed received the hi-index lenses, her response was, even before looking, "You did because I entered the order." Sylvia started blaming the thickness of the lenses on the large frame, which I confirmed with 3 other opticians that it made not sense. She then agreed to re-make the lenses and shave off some of the thickness. One week later, I got a call that my new lenses were ready (note the first order took about 2 weeks). When I tried on the new lenses, I did not see a difference in the thickness of the lenses, but rather noticed that all they did was mount the lenses forward in the frame. When I tried them on in the store, it was fine. However, after wearing them for about 20-30 minutes, I become dizzy again. I have completely given up on the pair and they are now just sitting in my drawer because I cannot wear them without feeling dizzy. I even question if the lenses were even re-made or if I just got the same lenses back. I really wanted to support this small business as it is in my community. However, between the poor customer service and quality I will be looking for a new optometry business when it is time for me to renew my prescription and get new glasses.

First, I was given the wrong prescription for my contacts. I tried them during the one-month trial, and they were drying out the same day. When I asked for a different lens to try, the lady with a lot of tattoos told me she couldn't provide another one unless I paid again, which is BS since they weren't even my prescription. I also had a really difficult time getting ahold of the office. My calls were not answered, my voicemails were not returned, and when I came in person, I still didn't feel like my concerns were taken seriously and they always seem to be doing nothing. The customer service was disappointing, and I was also surprised when I received my glasses without even a case or anything to protect them. Overall, this was a very frustrating experience, and unfortunately, I will not be returning. I would recommend going somewhere else if you're looking for good communication, customer service, and attention to detail.
