My old glasses were falling apart (my son likes to throw things at my face, and I sometimes bump into walls and glass doors).
I went here on 11/26 to order a new pair.
My wife recently had a good experience here, and I also went along with her recommendation because this office is fairly close to our house (Lucky is part of the shopping center, and we shop there almost every week).
The hours aren't bad, but they're a little odd: Mon & Tues 9 a.m.-6 p.m.; Thu 9 a.m.-8 p.m.; Fri 9 a.m.-6 p.m.; Sat 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
(I'm not surprised that it can apparently be busy here on Saturdays.)

Customers are buzzed in.
Because I'm so massive, it was easy to see me coming. o_O

I wasn't blown away by the selection of frames (there are a few more for women than for men), but that's not really saying much (I can be picky, and I was only drawn to 1 pair of frames when I bought glasses a few years ago too).
Sylvia, the office manager, helped me.
Some other reviewers have had bad experiences with her, and I did find her to be a bit gruff (I quickly got used to it, and I don't actually like to be around super bubbly people).
Still, she was helpful and extremely professional.
I liked that she was thorough and didn't mess around.
The receptionists stay busy and are friendly enough.
Sylvia provided me with some great info overall (there was something that she didn't know about, but it was so minor that I can't even recall what it was).
I felt lightly pressured to get the Blue Light feature, but I don't regret saying yes to it (I look at my phone somewhat regularly, and I'm often on a computer), and I can't complain about the cost ($25).
My glasses were ready yesterday (I was told that they would be ready in about 10 business days, but I thought that I would actually be picking them up on Monday).
The glasses that my wife ordered earlier were ready pretty quickly too.
Yesterday prompted me to give 5 stars (I was initially leaning more toward 4).
Sylvia took her time adjusting my new glasses (the frames are flexible, which is both good and bad).
She also went over the cleaning procedure well.
Finally, my old glasses were fixed (to some degree) WITHOUT me even asking (I didn't speak up on 11/26 either- before yesterday, I had basically given up on my old glasses).
I was given 3 cleaning cloths (one of them promotes the office).

My total was only $60.
Wow!!
Some other reviewers really like the doctors here (Joanna Leong; A. Margarita Geronimo).
When a family came in yesterday (it was easy to see them coming), a girl was seen by one of the doctors a minute later.
My friend Monika recommends this office too: "My entire family comes here and has been for over 20 years!"
I like my new glasses (my eyes didn't even need time to adjust to them), and I received exceptional service.
I will definitely keep this office in mind in terms of the future.
