I was going to France Vision for over a decade and twice I decided not to make the drive out and try places nearby. Big mistake!! Both of the other two Optometry offices received a bad review from me. France Vision on the other hand has always been solid. They took a look over my insurance, which doesn't offer a Vision plan apparently, but they figured out how to bill as medical, and it did offer $200 for frames. Free exam. The place I went to on the Westside said no Vision coverage so total would be $550. I walked out of France Vision paying $50 which was co-pay. Advice, call and make an appointment, not necessary, but helps speed things along. Overall, I learned my lesson, stick with what worked for over a decade. read more

My husband and his family have been coming here for years and years. This past weekend, we were helped by Brian. He was so great with helping us understand our eye insurance and what it covers. Large selection of glasses all ranges in price, style, color! Brian went out of his way to adjust my husbands glasses to fit comfortably on his face and center it accordingly. He also taught us how to clean lenses without damaging them. 10/10 recommend. read more

I'm a creature of habit (or laziness?) and so I've gotten my contact lenses here since forever. I shamelessly still have my poor mom call here for me annually to order my acuvue lenses like I'm a baby, even though I moved out ages ago. I know I can probably order the contacts somewhere online for cheaper, but for now, I'm perfectly content with entrusting the reliable folks at France Vision Optometry (via mom) with procuring my eyes for me every year in a timely manner. read more

Just did an eye exam here today and everything from beginning to end was super smooth and professional. Glad I came here for the first time, wish I had been coming here for my previous eye care needs. The place is clean, staff is super friendly, and huge selection of cool glasses to choose from. No need to go anywhere else. Highly recommend, especially if you're a local. They might answer the phone in Korean because we are in Koreatown, so it's fine but all the staff speak English so it's no problem if you don't speak Korean :) read more

Dr Linda is the BEST optometrist in LA - possibly the world! She spotted a dangerous condition in my eye before my ophthalmologist...twice! The shop itself stocks a huge inventory of frames from all the best designers. And the staff has a great eye for what looks good on your face so picking the perfect pair of glasses is quick & easy. Totally worth the trip to K-town. I love France vision. read more

I went there for my yearly exam as a new patient with insurance. They informed me that my insurance barely covered anything and I would be better off by taking advantage of their special offer. I don't need prescription glasses but glasses to protect my eyes from the monitors I use for work. Their special offer included free eye exam and % off of the eye wear. The frames were non name brand. And I will emphasize non name brand with no prescription. My total came out to be over $400. WTF! My coworker referred me to her optometrist since we have the same insurance. I went for my next yearly exam and I needed another computer glasses with no prescription. I picked a Tiffany's frame this time. I paid my deductible for my eye exam and my insurance did cover some of my eye wear. This time I only paid $260. France Vision Optometry are scammers. They claim their patient's insurance barely covers anything so you can spend more money out of pocket. This is a freaking disgrace especially for Korean business owner. Please take my advice and take your business elsewhere where, unless you don't mind spending a lot of unnecessary money. read more

I've always gotten my lens and eye exam here. I buy frames online and discount stores and bring them here. I went to Costco once and they screwed up my prescription by a lot, so I went back to my spot and they nailed it. Tell them Ramos sent you. Happy Munchies, @aVeganAndHer read more

Dr. Linda is amazing and her prescription was so precise... I haven't seen this well in years. I also got my prescription filled there. The staff is knowledgeable, courteous and professional. So glad to have found a great eye doctor in my area! read more

I've had many experiences at France Vision & I've always left a happy customer! Dr. Lee is literally so sweet & professional -- she's my main reason for returning time after time. One day I had really bad eye pain and then all of a sudden my vision got blurry and I couldn't see. I was freaking out & wanted to see an eye doctor right away. I called about every optometrist in LA and no one would take walks in. Then we got ahold of France Vision & they told me I could come in for a walk in. Dr. Lee took such good care of me and was so attentive. She explained that I had scratched my cornea so I needed to take a break from contacts and switch to my glasses. She was very easy to talk to and I left feeling so much better. Ever since that visit I've always come back to France Vision. Recently their selection of glasses has gotten better, but they could have a little more updated selection. The turnaround time for any order is pretty fast, usually a week. They also let you leave with a sample pair of contacts which is very generous. It's never busy or loud in here which I really appreciate. It's just a good ole' fashioned mom-n-pop and I really love it for that. It's simple and easy to do business with them. They also accept VSP Insurance yay! The worst thing about France Vision is the parking unfortunately. It's in Koreatown and parking can be hard to come by. You can do street parking in front or surrounding neighborhoods -- just make sure you read all the posted signs so you don't get a ticket or get your car towed. The usual LA stuff ya know lol. Thank you France Vision! :) read more

I have been here for myself a couple years ago. Great service and eye wear selection. So my kid said he started having trouble seeing so i brought him here. I was thinking of taking him to costco, but the selection here is much better and prices not that much more. They took great care of my kid and made sure he had the right glasses and prescription. They do get busy so best to make an appointment. I would highly recommend. read more

Been coming here since I was a kid. Nice family owned, old school, korean establishment. Mr. Lee has personally driven an order to our childhood home when we had a trip coming up. This is the type of business I'd like to support. read more

Mr.Park who is a worker here, he is very rude and has no manner. I bought a glasses here and the right side of my glasses screw was almost falling out (this time was my third time going here because of that screw) and Mr.Park screams at me and saying glue that screw. ARE YOU KIDDING? glue my glasses screw?? I'm the customer and he is a worker, he needs to learn how to treat the customer and need to learn how to fix the glasses. read more

this store is bad store. I bought 2 eye glass but one glass broke I paid more money I made 2 pair glass but lenses is not clean(USED). I try clean I can not clean lenses. I can not use. totally I lost $390.00. I live in 2,3hour driving area. FRANCE VISION CENTER 3104 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90006 TEL: 213-487-1001 ARE NOT HONEST. read more

Dr. Linda Lee and team is the reason I came back to this biz even though I live in OC now. The most appalling thing happened one morning where my contact lens went missing. My three year old said there were blue things in the case so he threw it in the sink and washed it out. The appalling part is that I couldn't be mad at a kid who didn't know; my fault for leaving it out. With no backup, old glasses that aren't even DMV approved to drive, Dr, Lee and team were my heroes. They matched my sense of urgency with scheduling a visit, helped with contacts on the same day, spent detailed and thorough time to get me the right pair, and all was good - I can see. Thank you for going above and beyond to help me out. read more

Brought my Tom Ford sunglasses here for repair since the nose pads had fallen off. Noticed they had a wide selection of designer glasses and sunglasses. The kind lady behind the counter brought my sunglasses to the technician who was able to replace the nose pads and tighten the sides. Apparently Tom Ford sunglasses have a very specific nose pad that can only be replaced with the original. Although I didn't purchase the sunglasses from this store, they gave me the repair for free! and a cleaning cloth to go along with it. Would definitely recommend for service! read more

I've been coming here for almost 10 years. I can always count on the men working here to give me their best professional opinion. They don't have the latest trends and it's a bit in the pricy side but their customer service is exceptional. read more

Ripped off with senior's Medicare/ supplement insurance cover cost. Been rushed, over priced frames which covered by insurance but not worth the cost..... I regretted not walked out from there then. Not recommended read more

The optometrist conducted an eye examination roughly. I think that's why this place is cheap. This prescription is only for emergency. Not for two years. My eyesight in both eyes is never the same. She didn't look closely at my eye condition. Quack optometrist. Small profits and quick returns. Glasses is not bad. There's many types and good prices. However, get the prescription from another place. read more

France Vision Optometry - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I went here even though it had only three stars on Yelp because they are close to my house, took VSP insurance and were open. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of service. I got my annual eye exam here and they were very efficient and provided great service. I bought glasses online after changing my mind and they adjusted them free! The woman even offered me a drink. How nice! read more

France Vision Optometry - Great designer collection! - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

I want to give this place a decent review to support local K biz but cannot. I've never been to a biz where so many of their responses are negative or no for some BS excuse. They're also on the condescending spectrum as well. Come on. You guys sell overpriced eyeglasses for a living. Geez. read more

Fast, cheap, and great customer service. I wanted matte, square and big framed glasses. They found what I wanted/needed in about 10 minutes. Did check up and walked out within less than an hour of coming in. Highly recommend, especially if you need your glasses within a day. Although it does depend how bad your eyes are that influence how much time you have to wait. Could be less than an hour, two, or the next day. read more

This place tries to rip people off. They give you an estimate and then switch the prices on you at the end in an attempt to take more money from you. Avoid this place!! read more

This place look down on people who dress-up less. Is it because we look like we do not have money? And my dad is old and ask questions. But female owner(?) just rude and refused to answer. Is it wrong to ask? We used to go to Davichi and wanted to try here but no. Thank you for stopping us from wasting money on here. read more

Awesome service from Hudson and the France Vision staff! I have been coming here to get my glasses and contacts for over 10 years and now my husband has joined me as well! The staff is always friendly and courteous! They help you pick what you need whether it be contacts or glasses that will fit your budget! There is a huge display of frames to choose from and their suggestions are always on point. Left the store today happy with a new pair of glasses for the hubby and contacts for myself. Quick and easy! read more

I have been going to France Vision since 2000. My main guy, Hudson Lee has been there for over 20+ years. He is very knowledgeable about the frames and latest trends. If you're using insurance, he knows more about the policies than the actual patients and will help you to maximize your benefits. And it being a Korean business, make sure to haggle for the price. The sticker price is just an MSRP. read more

This place is horrible. I came in for a new pair of glasses because mine broke on the side. The guy who helped me is a push over. I was going for glasses that were a reasonable price because I mainly wear contacts but this guy kept shoving $300-$400 glasses in my face. I was asking my mom for advice if it had fit me and he kept saying that my mom is old and didn't know latest trends when he is old himself. In the end, the guy fixed my old pair so I was thinking about just replacing the lens since there is no need to buy new frames. But he cut me off and spoke to me in an annoyed tone. I ended up buying the glasses. Yes, it is cheap, which is why i gave 2 stars. But the customer service is bad and it really gave me a bad mood. read more

They took off their yelp page and re-listed it due to the fact they had so many terrible reviews in the past. This place is beyond a rip off and their customer service is terrible. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else. Trust. read more

They are so nice! I always go there to get new glasses and check ups. I will continue to go :) I would definitely Recommend this place. Thank you guys!!! read more

I've been going to France Vision every year for the last 8+ years. The optometrist is the daughter of the owner, and both are very friendly and professional. I agree with the other yelper, parking is a hassle since they share a tiny parking lot with several stores. The have a huge selection of eyeglasses and sunglasses and a lot of them are mid- to high-price range, but they are willing negotiate. Most the salespeople have been working there for many years, and they're known for their customer service. When they give you suggestions for the frames or contacts, sometimes they're on the high side, but if you ask them for more affordable options, they don't mind. If you have prescription glasses, you usually get them the same day. If they have to order contacts for you or they're backlogged, they usually have your order ready in a few days. read more

I visited France Vision with my friend who is a regular there. Since it was about two years from my last eye exam, I decided to get one there and found my prescription changed. I was promised a good discount if I bought my frames and lenses with my friend. The selection of frames was OK, and I managed to find one that looked good on me. I chose lenses with transitions and anti glare. As promised, I did get a good deal for my glasses. Overall, my experience was good. The one minus was that glasses were not ready by the promised day and I had to wait 3 more days. read more

France Vision Optometry - Back door entrance - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had been visiting several stores to try on oliver peoples and Barton perreira eyeglasses. Of all the stores, France vision offered the lowest price to me despite the fact I did not have eye insurance. I was impressed by the positive treatment I received from the sales person and the fact that they carried many models and colors these two brands was pretty convenient. I was able to compare all the previous styles I had tried side by side which helped me make my final decision. One note of warning is that I am a Korean-American male so that may have had a impact on the way I was treated by the store. However, I do not speak any Korean and despite this, the employees were very accommodating and offered a fair price on a pair of high end glasses. I will be sure to follow up with them for future eye exams and will follow up on this review if there are any issues with my frames or lenses. read more

Great service and amazing prices !! Lowest in town Went with my whole family, bought 3 pairs (Armani & Chanel) All for less then $450 lenses included read more

I love this place! The doctor is great and the people who help you with frames are very nice and helpful. They have an amazing selection of eyeglass frames for every budget!! read more

Im so angry They tried to sell lenses for $100 I bought it at othershop for $60 because I felt that was good price because 'France vision's salesman tried to sell for $100 But that's average price was $45 still overcharged.. OMG.. tried to sell it for over twice ?? I bought a glasses about 3 month ago And now I know I was su~~per overcahrged. Tooooo expensive read more

France Vision is on Olympic right next to the Young King Chinese Restaurant. Parking is a beeeeyotch though. (Street parking is recommended.) Hudson is usually the sales guy that helps us out. I usually get contacts (for the year) and glasses. France Vision will try to sell you a new frame every single year. I refuse. They're very nice though. A bit pushy sometimes but as long as you're firm with them, they'll back off. The optometrist is Dr. Linda Lee. She's great. English only though for those of you who prefer Korean. read more

I've been coming to France Vision for about 20 years. Last time I was here was 10 years ago before I moved back to Seattle. I just came down for a week of vacation to Los Angeles, and decided to stop by to check out some frames. It was like seeing old friends, or family again. Everyone here is so friendly, and know what they're doing. The prices are great here, and everyone is so efficient. The optometrist here is super friendly and helpful. Mr. Park there helped me pick out the perfect frame after trying out many styles. I'm so glad I stopped by here today, and I'm excited to pick up my new glasses in few days. France Vision is a class act!!! read more

France Vision is possibly the worst place to get your glasses. My daughter bought glasses at France last year and it has not been a year yet but she is having problems with it already. She added special coating on the lenses but the coating has started to peel off and she was charged twice for her glasses. France Vision charged her around $350 and they charged her vision insurance for the same exact amount. They even placed a hold on her insurance information, so other places couldn't access her coverages. Eventually, she had no choice but to buy her glasses at France because she didn't have the time to go back to other places. NEVER BUY ANYTHING AT FRANCE VISION!!! ALL THE STAFF ARE UNFRIENDLY AND RUDE!! RIPOFFS!! read more
