However, once you're ready to purchase, be prepared: pricing here is significantly overpriced, and they push extra add-ons and fees you never asked for. I dealt with the woman selling glasses, and she was rude and visibly annoyed when I declined the unnecessary extras. If you know what you actually need going in and stick to it, be ready for pushback.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

I really recommend giving them a try, they have everything from classic vintage styles to more modern looks. Definitely something for everyone!
