    Best Optometrist in town! I highly recommend coming here. We love eye Dr Wu! I am so glad I called and we finally found a place that accepts my sons Medical. Its very important finding a Dr that is not only patient but takes the time to educate my son. I can't express how thankful I am that we found this place. I didn't mention this during my sons visit but my son is Autistic and Dr Wu was wonderful with him. Also the women who work in the front were also so kind. They took the time to properly show my son how to care for his glasses. Give them a call today! We were seen same day!

    I changed optometrist since last year with my new work insurance. I made an appointment more than a week in advance and when I arrived I didn't have to wait long to see the doctor. They are quick here and will check your eyes and get you in and out with no long waiting time. I was able to find some new frames at a reasonable price to replace my old glasses.

    I went in for a contact lens fitting on only 1 eye, because I just had cataract surgery on the other eye.. The optometrist rushed through the exam. He gave me 2 trial contacts, one with and one without astigmatism correction. The prescription he came up with was a 1.25 diopters lower than the eyeglass prescription I got at KP. Contact lens prescriptions are weaker than eye glass prescriptions, but this was, in my mind too big a discrepancy. I thought it was strange that they wanted me to try them out at home, rather than in the office. I asked to try one in the office, and they obliged me. They didn't even give me a case for the lenses. It was quite bright outside, and the prescription appeared to be slightly weak, but tolerable. I noticed the weak prescription a lot more when it got darker in the evening. The next day I tried the astigmatism correction lens, and found it to be blurrier than the other one, and it felt scratchy in my eye. I was dismayed to find out that the prescriptions on the 2 trial lenses were DIFFERENT both in base curve and diopter! The regular lens was -4.75, BC 8.8, and the astigmatism lens -4.50 BC 8.6!!! That explains why the astigmatism lens was blurrier, it was more underpowered then the other, and also why it felt scratchy. I've worn contacts in the past, and they all were BC 8.8, so that was just a lucky guess on his part. Furthermore, the astigmatism lens was EXPIRED by over 7mo! Thankfully, I only need the lenses for a couple of weeks, so I'm not going to bother to go back and complain. Unprofessional, willful neglect and incompetence! Avoid this place!

Ultimately Dr Su helped me pick out the right prescription for my astigmatism and my headaches disappeared thereafter. Her team also helped explain my insurance plan and pick what was in my budget. It's a breath of fresh air to have such a personalized experience.

    I really love this shop. It's a complete hidden gem! I've been "visually challenged" since the age…read moreof eight. So I've literally been wearing some sort of corrective lens (glasses and contacts) for 35 years. The most difficult part for me was ALWAYS finding frames that fit me - my must have #1. That means I need nose pads. Then, I look at style - sad, right? So I wore contact lens FOREVER... I loathed whenever I had to go get new glasses. Well, not since a few years now. We come to this shop ALL the time. My AWESOME Poloroid polarized sunglasses are from here (with custom nose pads). Now that wearing glasses is back in style, YAY!! I thought there would be more selection now. NOPE, I was wrong. The trendy glasses now are large and round and I can't wear that style at all (I cannot wear most plastic frames w/o custom nose pads installed - which can be done at Monterey Park Optical! I bought my Tom Ford frames at a crazy low price at Costco and brought them to Mr. Ling (the optometrist - he's licensed in Taiwan, but since he opened this store, he only "fills eye glass prescriptions" - but he sees everything an optometrist does. He even double checks my family's prescriptions before he "fills" it, our whole family comes here and I refer people here whenever I can, since they are the best I've found so far. I'm almost positive that a prescription "re-check" is NOT a service he offers to other people (since he only has a Taiwanese License to practice Optometry). Mr. Ling and his wife Janet, yes, this is a "mom and pop" boutique eyewear shop. They have frames to fit all budgets. Never before have I found a pair of glasses that I liked and could stand up to my vigorous usage. I have seizure disorder, so I've ruined many pairs of glasses by falling over and breaking them (which is what happened to my Tom Ford light brown frames you see me wearing in some photos). I used my glasses all day, every day from when I wake up to when I go to sleep. Mr. Ling, the owner, himself wears an amazing looking Teal colored pair of glasses. I HAD to know what the brand was. His wife Janet also had amazing looking glasses. I realized fairly quickly that this store was a boutique store. Mr. Ling was wearing Silhouette Eyewear from Austria. His wife Janet was wearing an amazing pair of rose gold/pink glasses that are from Japan. And NO, they DO NOT carry COACH - Thank God... I can't stand Coach. And neither can they! Why? Because they don't think that the quality of Coach frames are good enough for what Coach wants to charge. I realized that Mr. Ling and his wife Janet scour the WORLD for eye wear. I ended up getting a pair of Silhouette's as well. I looked up their website: www.silhouette.com/us/en/home/ and found out that they have designer collections. Nope, I can't afford the $20,000 (yes, $20k for glasses!) 18kt solid gold pairs with 72 VS1 diamonds (last collection. Current collection is round colorful and plastic frames - no clue on price) and Monterey Park Optical said the glasses were beautiful, but each pair was $20k. Crazy! They have the 23kt thick gold plated frames there w/Schwarovki crystals for about $1000. Bling is not my style, and I had zero probs finding glasses here. Monterey Park Optical has all the brands you would want, Gucci, Burberry, Prada, etc. But their specialty is finding companies from all over the world that make only eye wear. When I saw Janet's glases, I asked her if the Japanese frames came with springs on the hinges. She literally took off her pair of glasses and pulled it into a straight line. So each link (that I thought was a fashion thing) was a spring. My Tom Ford glasses broke because of a recent seizure and the frames cracked when the side of my head hit the floor. The lenses were still good but had a scratch in the coating (they were expensive transitions lenses that had every kind of coating that you could buy). I literally only had to buy the frames and Mr. Ling installed the frames for me. He noticed the scratch and pointed it out to me, letting me know that once the coating is scratched there's no way to fix it. My mom tried to save money by doing the same thing that I did - just replace the frame, but her lenses were too scratched up. However, that didn't stop Mr. Ling from doing it for my mom anyway, even though the lenses needed replacing (in my opinion, Mr. Ling said, "if it's too scratched, bring it back". So about two days after my mom got her glasses back with the scratched lenses, she ended up going in and ordering new lenses. Mr. Ling and Janet know us well, all my family comes here and all my mom's friends. We love them! I have found my eyeglass heaven. I don't need to go anywhere else from now on! I literally don't want to go anywhere else. I can't find a better shop, nor better educated owners who care about the quality of glasses and their customer and not flashy names. Trust me, flashy name brands are generally cheaper than QUALITY. I love my Austrian glasses!!

I've had glasses since I was in elementary school so I have been to many eye doctors now. I found him a few years ago and I haven't gone anywhere else since. Dr. Ly is patient, extremely thorough and most importantly easy to talk to. In healthcare, it is easy to feel rushed, but I never felt that way. He listened to my concerns and thoroughly explained what is happening with my eyes and he offered suggestions on what I can do to make it better. He also flagged a few other concerns that we would be keeping an eye out for. He also provided product recommendations and explained WHY they were a good fit for me and provided firsthand experience on how it worked for him. I've had too many eye doctors (and doctors in general) make me feel bad about my health/situations. Now with screen time and things, it's easy to make us feel bad about being on our phones/computers (I get it). But Dr. Ly didn't make me feel bad at all. He offered great suggestions on how I can ease the strain on my eyeballs. His receptionist was also incredibly kind and patient in explaining my insurance benefits and how I could make the most of it. Things I consider in a healthcare provider - Easy to talk - Informative/educational - Doesn't get annoyed at my long list of questions - Takes me and my concerns seriously Dr. Ly checked off all my boxes and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs an eye doctor. 10/10

I am the anxious type, but I left my appointment feeling so much more reassured and knowledgeable about my eyes. As we were doing eye tests, he explained the purpose of each as well as what he noticed about my eyes. He is very thorough, kind, and knowledgeable. Dr. Ly gave me some free samples of eyedrops that he personally uses and gave me many tips on how I can improve my lifestyle choices to improve my vision. I've never had an eye doctor like Dr. Ly before. I will only go to him now anytime there is something to do with my eyes.

Whatever payment beef that the manager here had in the past due to other customers in the ways they paid you, does not reflect on me. I have only arrived recently after those past certain customers to only give my money to you here, manager. I don't appreciate you being quite appallingly strict to me with your so called new policy on how customers need to/should pay you/your company here. How I can't Zelle your company to pay because I can't be driving out here when I'm coming from the Manhattan Beach area. Unless you want to pay for my gas, manager. Tbh, my Honorable Dad warned me to not shop from here because he can actually prior prophecy read the cons of everything here. But I love only 2 people here who have given me best customer services asap I called and walked in. But when it comes to the way I'm forced to pay by the manager is not only ridiculous to me but also a huge disrespect to me. Especially being that they have no idea who I Royally am. Fact is.. I am Royally from both my parents of The famous Tribes of Levi and Judah which is connected to my famous KJV Bible ancestors from Enoch, Noah, Shem, Abraham, Ezekiel, King David, King Solomon, King David's son Nathan, Nathan's daughter Mary, and of course, The One and Only Creator of the whole universe and beyond Messiah Savior Lord God Jesus. I'm also Royally from 5 famous China Dynasties: Li, Shang, Zhou, Song, and Ming. I'm also Royally from The Great King Taksin of Thailand. And I'm also from ALL Kings/Ramas 1-10 currently of Thailand. Therefore, manager here should know their place of highest respect and honor with Me. And apparently manager here does not. Do better, much better, manager. You need to learn to have WAY BETTER respect for people of my very special stature and very honorable special lineage. You apparently failed to do that, manager.
