    I wear glasses, so it is important for me to be happy with what I am placing on my face. This place has provided so much for me; prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses! Highly recommend. Friendly people too.

    I originally went to Linden Optometry in Pasadena for my eye check-up and prescription glasses because they have one of the largest eyewear selections I have seen. I moved out 25 miles east from west Pasadena, so I had to find a new optometrist. I am very thankful I came across this gem through my Yelp search. Not only do they have 5 stars, but they are only a 8 minute drive from my house. Score! We had a wonderful first-time experience here a little over two weeks ago. Everyone from Dr. Liu and the three lovely ladies that work there are awesome! They all provide a great personable experience and they all seem knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you for the positive and delightful experience! This place will now be our go-to optometry place! For those looking for a local optometrist, book them ASAP because they book very quickly since they take a limited amount of patients a day to avoid close contact with other patients. When I booked my appointment, I had to wait over two months. Thanks again Utopia Optometry! :)

    So happy I found this Optometry office!! Dr. Liu and staff are fabulous!! Dr. Liu was very thorough with my eye exam. I was very pleased and didn't feel that he was rushed. Answered all my concerns. Sheenna helped me find the right frames that best fit my needs. They have a good selection with lots of great frames to choose from. I highly recommend this office for any optometry needs!

    Hello, Do you sell cat eye glasses? Thank you

    Overall, the selection of frames is pretty limited but I did see some cat eye styles last week when I was here.

    Is there an Ophthalmologist on staff?

    That is a good question. I don't think so, but you would have to call them to find out for sure.

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

    We have been coming to this eye care office for years, and they have always taken great care of me…read moreand my family. The entire team is professional, kind, compassionate, and very good at what they do. They take the time to answer questions, explain options, and make you feel comfortable without ever making the process feel rushed or pressured. What stands out most is how much they genuinely seem to care about their patients. They are always helpful, accommodating, and willing to work with you to make things as easy as possible. They have taken care of everyone in our family over the years, and I honestly couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality eye care from people who truly care.

Meagan helped me fall in love with what I see--because for the first time, I could actually see! I'm serious. I saw Dr. Ishi, who I seriously cannot recommend enough -- she's truly amazing. She helped me figure out that my previous experience at Costco Optical has, in fact, been totally useless and wholly inaccurate--my prescription has been off for like...10 years??? No wonder I can't see at night! Ha ha! Turns out, my bizarre and highly astigmatismed eyeballs happen to be both nearsighted and farsighted on each respective side..and thus require a certain amount of due diligence and attention--all of which I have never experienced at any other optometrist prior to coming to this place. Literally, one side of my contact prescription was off by 1.5 points or whatever they use to measure it--i mean, what?? Should I contact my car insurance to dispute any claim against any minor car accidents that I may or may not have been involved in over the past DECADE since I LITERALLY COULDN'T SEE!!!?? Dr. Ishi is incredible. Megan is a sweetheart who helped me pick glasses that not only fit, but ~*flattered*~ my large and in charge face. Because of this wonderful team, I can FINALLY see for the first time in my life. Can't recommend this place enough! 10/10. Ps; and not to be super creepy or anything...as I still don't know that deep and mysterious voice I heard but I think I'm low key in love. I seriously can't wait to go back!! But next time, I think I'll wear makeup! Although idk maybe i won't bc what if they put drops in my eye and my mascara runs??? Only time will tell...stand by for updates ).

    Positive review. 4-months Post-surgery OD:20/20 and OS: 20/15…read more I think many of you reading reviews right now are going back and forth about having vision correction surgery. Some of you might be like me and have extremely high myopia and want the vision freedom. From my experience, I researched ICL surgery since 2019. Once EVO ICL was FDA approved, I started looking for a surgeon for advice and see if I was a candidate. Before choosing IQ Laser Vision, I had gone to a different surgeon and he did say I was a EVO ICL candidate, however I was not impressed by him. I was later referred to IQ Laser Vision, where they contacted me and scheduled an appointment to see if I was a candidate. Their multiple offices made it easy for me to go meet with an advisor and doctor. However, with personal reasons, I was unable to get the surgery done during that year after that initial consult and going through their state of the art arcscan (apparently they're the only office that are using this technology to make sure to see if your eye has enough space/vault...very cool). Fast forward March 2026, I contacted IQ laser vision again in hopes that maybe I can ask them for another consult. Again, the advisor walked me through, doctors did their check up, arcscan again (still cool) and I was able to schedule my surgery. It was an honor to have Dr. Robert Lin be available to do my EVO ICL surgery. He was incredibly patient with my questions, listened to my story of researching this procedure, and I knew I was in good hands from someone who had worked on so many eyes. Perhaps my favorite part aside from the whole journey of vision correction and having 20/20 vision is that you can feel how much Dr. Lin cared for his patients. He called me personally to make sure my first day post surgery was ok. And even after 4 months later, he contacted me to make sure I was ok and how I am liking my vision. For those who are like me going back and forth about vision correction, I highly recommend making an appointment/consult to see if you can be a candidate. From there you can move forward and make that decision. I know it was later than I anticipated for myself, but I can truly say I am happy having that peace of mind that I can wake up and see, not have to worried about my glasses/contacts during a possible evacuation (fire or earthquake), and do water sport without fear of infections if I wore my contacts. That mental peace is probably the second to best part of this journey.

    My eyes have always required thick lenses, which made it difficult to find certain prescribed…read moreglasses. I came here to get this corrected so I could deal with the issue. At 41, I've started to think that advancements in eye correction technology are much more promising than what has been available in the past. Surgery can be a daunting experience, especially when it involves your eyes. However, I encourage you to try the "Evo ICL" it's safe and has improved since last year. One of the best parts about this procedure is that if you're not satisfied with the results, or if a better option comes along, you can reverse the treatment. So, there's really no major risk if it doesn't work out. I qualified for the "Evo" ICL, and while I had my doubts at first, I've learned that patience is key when adjusting to a new way of seeing. Along with eye drops to aid the healing process, I found that after about three months, my eyes began to coordinate and adjust. What was once a constant dependency on glasses is now improving, and I'm starting to feel more normal without them. It's funny; I still find myself touching my face to lift imaginary glasses that no longer exist--it's just a habit! I highly recommend this option to anyone who wants to change their vision, whether it's for practical reasons, like gaming without glasses or to keep up with future technologies like AI glasses. As technology continues to advance, my previous vision issues made it difficult to enjoy some of these innovations. This procedure has truly helped me.

    For most of my life, I struggled with poor vision. I started wearing glasses at eight years old and…read moreswitched to contact lenses when I was 14. Over the years my vision continued to get worse, and by the time I turned 46, driving at night had become especially difficult. I knew it was finally time to do something about it. My father, mother, and brother all recommended Hyperspeed LASIK. They had also struggled with poor vision in the past, but after their procedures here, their vision was corrected and they now see better than ever. Hearing about their experiences gave me the confidence to schedule a consultation. At my initial consultation, I was honestly nervous because my prescription was extremely high--over -12 in both eyes. However, from the moment I arrived, the doctor and staff made me feel completely at ease. They took the time to thoroughly explain my options and answered all of my questions with patience and professionalism. A few weeks later, I underwent the procedure where lenses were surgically placed in both eyes. The entire process took about 45 minutes on a Saturday afternoon, and the experience was far smoother than I expected. The next morning when I woke up, I could already see clearer than I ever have in my life. It was truly incredible. I am beyond happy with the results and extremely grateful to the doctor and staff for their expertise and care. This procedure has genuinely changed my life, and I highly recommend Hyperspeed LASIK to anyone considering vision correction.

We show up at 11:45 am just for the front desk to tell us that they can't find our appointment in their system. So why have Zocdoc set up in your yelp if you have a different system??? What an inconvenience and hassle, since we have planned our day out already. Now we have to wait until 1pm to be seen by a doctor as they had to squeeze us in for an appointment. And on top of that, the front desk were not even apologetic or nice about it, just all attitude. Gee, thanks. We come back at 1pm, obviously we were already not impressed. Just walking in the front door, and the whole process. This review is solely regarding about their appointment system and customer service and the whole appointment process felt like rushed and impersonal, Dr Zhu did not even come by to meet us even though she was there, not even a peep at the door. We came here for a second opinion and also exploring our options--but it turns out the first place we went to yesterday which is IQ Laser vision (which is also down the street) is far more superior with their customer service, patient treatment and just the entire process--everyone there was top notch professional as you walked in the door. I am glad that going here in Hyperspeed Lasik validated our decision making into choosing IQ Laser vision.

    Incredibly positive experience! I highly recommend…read more I genuinely feel so blessed. My little one was practicing writing her letters when suddenly she turned to me and told me she had "a black eye". What followed was a series of test performed by me, a visit to the pediatrician and an instruction by her pediatrician to see an ophthalmologist. This was a very difficult task indeed, I called place after place and no one could get us in or had an ophthalmologist or had someone who worked with kids. I called Claremont eye associates and it said they were closed but if it was urgent I could leave a message with their answering service. 1 hour later they called me back. Amazing from that point on. She told me they had no appointments available but they'd want me to come in right then and they'd squeeze me in if I didn't mind waiting. I got there and besides being confused since the map took me to the back of the office and the front door doesn't look like one, everything was better than expected. The front desk worked quickly and efficiently and was so friendly and patient. There was hustle but also slow down for questions. They moved people in and out flawlessly. They answered my questions about insurance. I saw the person I had talked to on the phone and she was even more friendly and kind in person. They took us back in less time than I've waited somewhere that I DID have an appointment. The nurse was efficient and experienced, professional and kind. My first interaction with the doctor was very brief and made me cry because as soon as he saw my daughters results he told the nurse to dilate her eyes and walked out and I felt confused and overwhelmed and wished someone would tell me what that meant. She was reassuring and patient and we walked to room after room as they completed the exam. When I saw the doctor again, he had all the hustle of everyone else but did show me her optic nerve and the back of her eye and assured me that from an "eye" perspective, she looked great, with the exception that she was very farsighted and one of her eyes was "nearly blind". While we were in there he got a call, and had to multitask. I got the sense that he is good at what he does, and he does it, without any fluff. I appreciate that especially because everyone else is over the top friendly, I'm fine if he's more "all business" especially because he did explain everything very succinctly and answered my questions and even was thoughtful of finances in where he sent me to get her prescription. A very positive experience. I felt so encouraged and cared for!

I was expecting to be scheduled a few weeks out, but glad I had the luck of the draw (i guess) lol. Fabulous staff, awesome doctor, Dr Pirnazar did my surgery and throughout, informed what was happening next, and what was to be expected. It made the understanding so easy, and kept me at peace. I'm now a ~week post-op, and very happy with the results. I have slight glare when looking at lights, but that can be expected. I'm following the drops as prescribed, and can notice every day improvement.

The company/billing denied receiving EOBs from my insurance. I explained we paid copays and I am being billed non member rates and that these claims need to go to the secondary payor as well. They didn't have record of my copays, and denied getting EOBs. So, I emailed my EOBs over, my credit card receipts and they said they couldn't open the files (who can't open a PDF). So I sent them again and as screenshots, they denied receiving them. I sent my EOBs to the email they provided me 5 times. They said fax them (who faxes stuff in 2026?), so I went to my local FedEx, faxed them, they denied receiving them. After over a month of this, and even Aetna calling them (with me on the line), they continued to send me bills with non adjusted balances. I filed a complaint with the BBB. Two weeks later I get a call from someone named Melanie. She said she has "found" my EOBs and will work to get these all resolved and submitted claims to the secondary payor. She gave me her number to call her if I had any other issues with getting my refunds. This was back in December. It is now end of February and my primary insurance (Aetna) and my secondary insurance have paid these claims in full. I am owed a refund of my copays that I paid in the office. I called billing, they said they don't process refunds. I called the office, they said contact the business department but they don't have a number to give me, billing will have this. I called billing again, they said we can't give you a number, call the office again. I've left messages, asked for call backs, no one is calling me back. I called the number Melanie gave me and it goes to a visa call center. What in the world is wrong with the place!?? I have gotten no where. The doctor (Eric Areiter) wasn't even that great, my husband saw him a few times with no results, would have his appointment cancelled or passed onto an NP or PA and we have since gone somewhere else and have had his issues resolved. This place is awful. My billing issues are still not resolved.
