    Very friendly, professional, speedy, and great service here at Brighter Optical. Dr. Raymond did a quick eye exam for me. He has a very nice, clean, neat, tidy office, and there is a good amount of space inside the office to walk around and sit down as well. Although this gem may be easy to miss in between neighboring businesses, it is inside a corner plaza off of Sierra Madre Boulevard and East Colorado Boulevard, which are popular and easy Pasadena streets to find. There are plenty of parking spaces, so it is comfortable to park here. I found a few parking spots to choose from right off the bat. There is a huge variety of name brands like Gucci, Ray Bans, and more to choose from, glasses, and sunglasses alike. I recommend everyone to come here for your yearly checkup, a new pair of lenses, an extra pair for the car, or at home, and other applicable optical service(s) you may need. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

    See all

    Eric To, OD., FSLS is the best optometrist I've been to in a very long time. I recently switched…read morefrom Stein Optometry in Burbank to Lumen because Dr. To truly cares about his patients. The entire staff is amazing--super professional, the environment is very clean, and they have a beautiful, stylish selection of glasses. Dr. To recommended computer glasses for me, which had never been suggested during the years I went to Stein. I always felt my regular glasses were too strong when working close to my computer, since I sit pretty close to the screen and my nearsighted prescription made things uncomfortable at that distance. The computer glasses have made an incredible difference. I also switched to scleral contact lenses, and they've been a total game changer. My disposable contacts just don't compare--I used to experience some blurriness with them. Dr. To explained why that happens, and the staff walked me through how to properly care for the new lenses, including how to insert and remove them. I can't imagine going back to my old contacts now. The scleral lenses are extremely comfortable, stay in place, and are custom fit to my eyes. I highly recommend Dr. To.

    A few years ago, my old optometrist had an insurance change, and I was forced to find a new office…read more I decided to try Lumen because all the reviews said this place was amazing. They are! This optometrist office has the most professional and knowledgeable staff I've ever seen. Really, from the very first interaction in the lobby--they are thorough. It turned out this office was able to catch something other offices had missed. I was quickly referred to a specialist, which helped me care for my eyes. This is the best optometrist, period.

    It's too bad Yelp doesn't allow for zero stars. This review is not about Linden as a whole, but…read moreabout the bedside manner a particular doctor in their practice lacks. I recommend Linden to others. I don't believe in gatekeeping. The eye exam process is usually easy, plus they have incredible selection of glasses. This one measly star is to help others make an educated choice about what kind of provider they choose to see. I was assigned Dr. Chan. I went to her knowing that my vision had degraded since my last visit two years ago. At the beginning of the visit, I let her know I was having a harder time seeing and that I have a serious medical issue that impacts my vision with some regularity. She did a traditional exam and confirmed that I needed a stronger prescription. She suggested I move to progressive lenses. Fair enough. She asked zero follow-up questions, so when she asked if I had questions, I took that as my opportunity to address how my medical condition could be exacerbated by the process of adjusting to transitional lenses. I could tell she didn't have a firm answer, but instead of just saying that, she was incredibly dismissive. She said she had other patients who had seizures and chronic migraines (symptoms of the larger condition), and instead of asking questions, took the route of showing me laminated literature. I started to feel like I was being read a script instead of seeing a doctor. The tipping point was when she showed me what it would look like to look through a pair of progressive lenses and then said, "See, you didn't have a seizure." I was so taken aback by the comment, I responded: "You know it doesn't work that way, right?" Doctors at their core are diagnosticians. If you aren't transparent, they are not able to do their job. But, no matter how much work you put in occasionally you run into doctors like Dr. Chan who are more interested in getting you out the door than making sure the patient has proper care. Having a ghost illness makes life a little less manageable day to day, and folks like Dr Chan make life a little more painful. In the end, I thanked her for her time and chose not to stay. I'll take my business elsewhere, and when someone asks where I got my glasses (which happens a lot), I will tell them the truth. It is not my job to ruin Linden, but it is Dr. Chan's job to treat patients with respect.

(FYI...No membership required, it's just a state of mind) I mean really, if you have to wear glasses, don't you want to make a statement? I know I do...And the frames here are the bomb! Something for everyone! Simple yet stylish and some colorful ones with bling! The boutique itself is located on York Avenue in Highland Park and looks like a cute little house. When you walk in you are greeted by the sister's, Kate & Amy, Gwen, and the adorable Gabby. If they do not have a pair you like in stock they will go out of their way to see if it's available. I bought a beautiful pair of French Frames here that were bothering my nose so they added little metal tabs to make them fit better. And recently they looked crooked so they tweaked them for me:) Yes, the frames are a bit pricey but I have compared the prices to Costco & at my eye doctor's office and it's really not that big of a difference. I would rather spend a few extra bucks for their amazing service and more fashionable frames. Your glasses here will always be treated with love when you need them to be fixed! *Bring your eye glass prescription with you if you plan on having them fill it. *You can purchase your frames here, have the lenses put in or take them some where else if you prefer. *Many designer brands *Street Parking

They truly do have the best customer service and selection of frames and can easily order for you if they don't have something in stock. Free parking on the street.
