I've been visiting Dr. Vipapan for over a decade now. He's a fantastic optometrist who genuinely…read morecares about his patients and takes the time to ensure you receive the best possible care. The office has a modern and welcoming vibe, making every visit a pleasant one. The front desk staff is always nice and friendly, and the opticians (shout out to Laura & Pim) are super professional, especially when it comes to helping patients choose the right style. One of my favorite things is the wide selection of frames they offer. I noticed the office incorporated newer brands and a variety of styles and colors than before. I ended up going with a Silhouette, while my partner picked an Oakley. I highly recommend checking this place out if you need eye care; you won't be disappointed!

I have been at this practice for ten years but am leaving after having been subject to her rude, dismissive treatment during two recent visits. The poor ladies at the front desk clearly live in terror of this new optician and the vibe is really sad in there, to see how she treats them and how she treats the patients. I decided to follow Mindy, the previous optician, to her new practice Oculus, in South Pasadena. Mindy is the smartest, kindest, most competent optician I've ever seen and I have already called for my first appointment at Oculus, where it was such a breath of fresh air to call and talk to friendly people who clearly enjoy working there.

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.

1-Star Review: Absolute Nightmare - Avoid This Place Like the Plague…read moreI went in for a routine vision check and contact lens fitting, and left questioning everything about this practice. The "contract" or service agreement they pushed was a mess of vague language. Nowhere did it clearly state product viability, warranty terms, return policies, or what happens if the lenses or solution don't work for my prescription. When I asked for specifics on longevity, compatibility, and what coverage applied if something failed, the staff just shrugged and said "it's standard." Zero transparency. I signed under pressure without any real understanding of what I was actually getting. Communication was equally terrible. I left multiple messages and emails about follow-up care for my vision--questions about lens comfort, adjustment period, and when I should come back for a recheck--and got almost no response. The few times someone did reply, it was curt, incomplete, or completely ignored the details of my request. No one followed up on the care plan they vaguely mentioned during the appointment. I had to chase them repeatedly, which is the opposite of what you want when dealing with something as important as your eyesight. The employees' skill level and hygiene practices were the worst part. During the contact lens trial, I watched staff handle lenses with minimal care for cleanliness. Tools and cases didn't look properly sanitized between patients, and the way they "shared" or reused demonstration lenses and solution bottles across multiple people was outright unhygienic. One technician casually moved from one patient's eyes to the next without changing gloves or thoroughly cleaning the equipment. It felt reckless and unsafe. If this is how they handle something that goes directly on people's eyes, I have zero confidence in their competence or basic infection-control standards. Save yourself the frustration, the unclear paperwork, the ignored messages, and the serious hygiene risks. Go somewhere that actually communicates, follows up, and treats patient safety as non-negotiable. This experience was a complete failure on every level.

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.

Street parking in the area is plentiful but there is a small lot on the side as well. The interior is bright and immediately when you walk in, they have your paperwork ready and the staff was knowledgeable about your insurance, telling you upfront what the copay would be and what other payments you would be able to get today which I really appreciated. The appointment was on time, Dr. Boutros was easy going, friendly, and genuine to hear concerns and provide honest recommendations. I was able to leave with some contact lenses to test and she also provided a couple of single use eye drops because I noted sometimes my eyes get dry. I think I've found my go-to optometry and look forward to coming back.
