Tom Ford Faryn sunglasses made into prescriptions for $100
Jan A.

I would 100% recommend Europe Optical. Before I went in to get my prescription glasses, they worked on my cousin's Chrome Hearts glasses made into sunglasses. It was reasonably priced and done pretty quickly. He's had 2 pairs made into sunglasses and absolutely loves them. This past month February 2024, I finally went in to get my prescription glasses fixed from my optometrist that has had multiple issues with the glasses I got done. They were able to figure out what was the problem and fix the two pairs the same day. I appreciate that you can come in, get your eyes checked for free and you can go home within 1-1.5 hour with your prescription glasses. NO WAITING TWO WEEKS! I have had a total of 3 glasses, Gentle Monsters (pictured), Prada's (which I had nose pads added) and a cat eye Tom Ford sunglasses made into glasses (also pictured). What I like is that you can bring in your glasses you already have or buy in store and the pricing to get the lens done and it's quite affordable. I will say they also have an expansive collection of glasses and if you use cash you can haggle a little! I got checked by Dr. M and she's so kind and easy to work with. The team that helps you choose your glasses and get your lens are also hospitable. Come through to Koreatown, this is the best, most affordable option not using your insurance. I think it's actually the best bang for your buck and I will be coming back every year. I'd rather pay out of pocket since the price of their lens is significantly cheaper than dealing with places that go through the insurance companies. 10/10

I haven't been here for years since I went to college, but the service is the same as ever! Very friendly staff who goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable and make sure you make your own choice. The doctor and the guy at the front desk were unbelievably helpful in correcting my glasses and I was able to get a new pair of glasses (as pictured) with his guidance at such a discounted price! 10/10 would recommend!

I had a pair of glasses and I needed to change only the lenses. Then I brought the glasses to this shop. They had worked on changing the lenses, then I went back to the shop to pick it up. At the time of picking up the glasses, my glasses were already wrapped and put in a case. So without any doubt, I paid for the service and came back home. Long story short, as soon as I opened the case of glasses, I see these huge white spots (1 spot each in the center of the glasses). Those were scratches that were made by them. Day after, I brought the glasses with scratches and told them could guys fix this since the scratches have been made by you guys? Their immediate answer was "No, the scratches were probably made by you". I was speechless, I had told them to please fix the lenses because the person who had handed me the glasses didn't even be honest about causing the damage. Honestly, If they would have not lied about the scratches and told me about their mistake from the beginning; I would have forgiven them. But the way that they treat their customer is such a disgusting way. I would have not even had to write such a long review for this complaint if they did not lie.. Anyways guys Do not shop at this store, if you do, just think of consequences.

Everything about this business is fantastic! It started with my exam with optometrist Dr. Osako,…read morewho explained that the reason why my previous prescriptions were not allowing me to see better is that they were too strong. My last optometrist strengthened my previous prescription because I'd said I couldn't read fine print on my TV, but what they needed to do was correctly assess my vision, which (surprisingly!) had improved. Now, with Dr. Osaka's new prescription, I can actually see again, thank goodness! And yesterday, when I went to pick up my glasses, Jacqueline, the general manager, went well out of her way to take care of me. She was so friendly and kind, and shetreated me with such warmth, dignity, and respect. I am so grateful to her and to Tim, the super-friendly and clearly talented lab technician who took care of an important need I had for my new lenses. All in all, I am thrilled that I have found such a terrific optometrist office! I love my wonderful new glasses and the beautiful case that came with them, and I LOVE the fact that I can finally see! Thank you all at Friedman Optometry!

Jacqueline immediately worked to correct the error in the rebates that I was supposed to receive for my contact lens order. She consistently followed up with Friedman Optometry's contact lens representative to speed up the rebate process, and she also checked in with me daily to assure me that the issue was actively being worked on. After less than a week, I received the full amount that I was owed, along with an extra supply of contact lenses to make up for the delay. I appreciate Jacqueline's diligence and her efforts to make things right.

The staff took great care of us and made the entire experience comfortable and pleasant. It's rare to find a business that consistently combines professionalism with such heartfelt customer service.

I trusted Dr. Lee so much for her honesty and thoroughness that I stayed with this clinic for years, even though I knew their prices were higher than other places. ​However, I recently realized how much I was overcharged by the store manager. My daughter's vision insurance allows us to apply the frame allowance toward contact lenses if we don't buy frames, making the contact lenses much cheaper. Yet, the store manager told me contacts were not covered at all and charged me full price out-of-pocket. Furthermore, our insurance actually covers high-index (compressed) lenses, but the manager lied, claiming high-index lenses weren't covered, and made me pay around 3-400 every time. ​I admit it was my mistake for not fully checking our insurance policy beforehand. But as a long-term, loyal patient, I expected honesty at the very least. ​Today, I went to the UCI Health Optometry Clinic, used our insurance properly, and saved a lot of money. While I still deeply respect Dr. Lee, the way the store manager runs the business is completely unacceptable. I am beyond disappointed.
