I'm normally too lazy to write reviews on Yelp, but I think this place merits one for their affordability and friendliness. I got lenses done here a year ago. I think they did a good job with them, since my eyesight is really bad and getting thinner lenses is usually pricey. They have lots of affordable frames, too, that actually look good, whereas at most places I see some really ugly cheap frames and some cool looking frames that I could never afford. I haven't bought any of their frames--only tried them on--so I can't attest to their sturdiness. They also have some vintage frames that look nice. It seems like a family business--or at any rate, as a small business, they may fall behind schedule. It took a little longer than I had expected for two frames to be fitted with lenses, but I was satisfied at the price and it wasn't a long wait, as I recall. I do get upset quite easily so they must not have taken too long. They've always been quite friendly to me, and I've been in there twice after getting my lenses to have my frames refitted and then again when the screw of one arm jumped out and ran away. They were helpful, fixing them on the spot both times, and didn't charge me anything. read more

Came back to Happy Eyes about a year and half- 2 years after my original interaction here. Tony's wife answers the phone and was extremely helpful and accommodating. They had what I needed in stock and I was able to pick it up HE same day. Super fast, super easy. Highly recommend, again! (There is parking in a structure behind the store. The first 15 mins are free and it won't take you longer than that to pick up your order with them!) read more

My first pair of glasses came out amazing!! I brought them an old pair of glasses and put in the lenses and adjusted everything perfectly. They are genuine and very helpful. Highly recommend Happy Eyes!! read more

I've been coming here since I was 7 years old and no matter where life leads me i always come back to Tony for my new frames. they have a great designer selection with contemporary to modern to bold styles. A good place if you are looking for low end or name brand frames. I know that I am being given the best set of lenses from Happy Eyes Optical. read more

Great service and cordial. The prices are quite competitive if you don't include online competition.

Couldn't have had a better experience buying my first pair of prescription glasses. Highly recommend everyone to go here. Great prices and even better people. read more

I love this place. They are always so nice and helpful. I've bought a few pairs of glasses here and they fixed a pair for me as well. Great, attentive service from a mom and pop shop. They always have a pretty varied selection as well. So much more reasonable than Lens crafters and the eyeglass racket conglomerates. read more

The absolute best place for glasses that I have ever experienced. Tony can put lenses into virtually any frames that you bring in to him, and the work is sheer perfection. Sally, who is often at the counter, is a joy to interact with, and they are both so helpful in making selections. They have a container full of candy to enjoy while you wait. read more

This is an old time family owned shop. So refreshing to find an honest, person to person shopping experience which is getting harder and harder to find. Tony has been in the same location for more than 24 years. His stock and experience is top notch. You can walk in and meet his wife who has also made the art of eye-ware her specialty. You can also trust that if there is a problem with anything, you don't have to worry about whether or not it will be fixed. Every time I go in, the place is filled with other long time customers like me. Good to see and, as always, reassuring. read more

I went to get my eyes checked from my optometrist and was referred to Happy Eyes to order my glasses frames/lenses. I took my prescription over to Tony and it was the best decision I have ever made. This is the first time I've had a pair of glasses that do not give me migraines, that don't cause tension behind the backs of my ears, and there is no BLUR! It's truly a gift to have clear vision and Tony made me love my trendy frames!  I haven't had an issue with my glasses for the past 7 months and I owe it all to his work. Bravo!!!!! read more

I've been going to Happy Eyes for years. Always first-rate service and reasonable prices. When they couldn't repair my frames, they knew exactly where to send me for the repair I needed. When they don't have a style in stock, they don't hesitate to refer you to the competition. read more

I've always wanted an optician that was excellent at his craft, cares about the smallest details, has an eye that belongs on Rodeo AND is reasonable. Not only is Tony the best, his store feels like family. Happy Eyes = The feel of old family store in the 21st century. read more

I love this place and am so glad it was recommended to me. I have been going to them for a few years now. The owners are really like family and take care of you. I got a pair of Ray Ban aviators set with prescription transition lenses which came out great. I have gotten another pair made with vintage frames from Old Focals that also get compliments. They are more interested in maintaining a good relationship with their customers than upselling and making a quick buck, which unfortunately is growing more of a rarity these days. read more

Happy Eyes was recommended to me by Old Focals, where I bought a pair of frames for some prescription sunglasses. Everyone at Happy Eyes was wonderful, knowledgable, and friendly! I'm blind as a bat, so had to get high-index lenses, but even still, there was no extra charge for bringing in outside frames, and in the end it only took 3 days and $175 to get some snazzy brown polarized lenses in my vintage frames. HIghly recommended. read more

After an exhaustive search for someone locally to fill my prescription in an existing pair of frames for a reasonable price, I was pleased to find Happy Eyes, but skeptical about the quality since their prices were about 30% of what I'd been quoted elsewhere. After now having my prescription filled I am shocked and delighted at the quality and the price, which was exactly as quoted. They also have a decent selection of frames in their shop. It seems hard to find anyone these days who does what they say, maintains quality, delivers on time and for the originally quoted price! Thank uuu Happy Eyes! read more

Tony is a liar! Not helpful and rude! Hung up on me after telling me to call back on Monday!!! Who does that? I just wanted to help out my friend!!! What kind of place of business is this? read more

This is my go to optical place. I love the professional service they provide that encompasses treating their customers with warmth, honesty, great selection of frames/lenses, competitive prices, and fast service. Tony and Sally are remarkable in what they do. read more

My partner and I have been fans of Happy Eyes for many years. Tony is great and very knowledgeable. Prices are great and quality excellent. A+. read more

I love Happy Eyes, Tony and Sally are so nice and work with you to maximize your insurance reimbursement. And better yet, if you don't have insurance, their basic lenses are only $75, $25 more for anti-glare. I have not gotten frames from them, but they appear to have a good selection and reasonable prices. I get my frames at the LA Eyeworks annual sale, then take them here for lenses -- and save lots! Free 90 minute parking in the structure around the corner, off Maryland St. read more

MARVELOUS SERVICE. Dropped off an old DK pair that needed repair, purchased a new frame from Tony's inventory, 19 HOURS later, BOTH pairs were ready! The new pair is all-white and only 75 bucks including lenses! read more

Wonderful establishment. Visit the same day as the Farmer's Market and...with one stone. Reliable and fair. I've moved a fair distance from Glendale since being first told about this gem, and still make the trip without a guess. There's a small, metered parking lot across from the shop. read more

Awesome place! Fair , kind , prompt and affordable . Because I'm a KLUTZ , I've broken a pair or two in my day and I've always returned to Happy Eyes . In fact , I have a pair there now . Tony is great and will be very straight with you about the service you are getting read more

Very friendly and very helpful! Great price on placing lens in frames (including anti glare and scratch) everywhere else i checked out they were way too expensive. It was almost equivalent to buying completely new frames and lens. I will definitely be back and recommend to all my friends and family! read more

Great service here. The doctor is great and very helpful. The employees took a lot of time helping me pick out glasses that worked for me and they have a great selection. They called me and let me know when everything was ready for pick up (right on schedule). Over-all a great place and I love my contacts and glasses. read more

Like so many others have stated here, the owner was UNBELIEVABLY RUDE. I barely got to ask a single question before she started taking a tone with me and then proceeded to yell at me. Obviously in this horrible economy when so many Americans can't even get a job, the owners have the luxury of giving extraordinarily terrible "customer service". Also, the last pair of frames I took to get filled by them were an $800 pair of vintage frames. They fit me perfectly until they replaced the lenses and now they look like they belong on a small child because they warped and shrunk them. I didn't even get to tell her that because it was more important for her to yell nonsensical things at me like how I "only spent $45 in lenses. To the penny!" By the way, I took 3 pairs of frames there... 45x3=135... that plus the $800 irreplaceable frames they ruined means they took $935 from me. But what I got from our one sided "conversation" is this: spending $45 in their shop isn't enough to buy you common decency. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. read more

I have been a customer at Happy Eyes for a very long time. I think since the mid 1990s. Tony and Sally are lovely people, they work fast, are price competitive and willing to custom order most any eyewear you could want. Free parking in the exchange structure. Tell em I sent you! read more

I've gotten my lenses done here two or three times. I have vintage frames that I've taken to other places but they're too scared to touch them. Tony has no fear and always does them right. Another place in Silverlake quoted me over $100 more for my most recent lenses. Tony said they'd be done by the end of the week but he got them done in two days. Plus, free 90 minute parking. Can't beat that. read more

Helpful, friendly, prompt, and quality lenses. They also give my dog treats! Five stars!

Apt name for a store that really made me feel comfortable without compromise in quality of service and craftsmanship.... and Tony is a high calibre craftsman. I'll be back and any friends of mine who need optical work are being referred. 5 star... plus! Many thanks. read more

I've always wanted to write a review, and after a long time.... Here it is. This place is a jewel!!! First of all... The service is beyond amazing.... And the selection of frames... Incredible! Plus, they are reasonably priced... (unlike lense crafters, which they suck at EVERYTHING). I sleep better at night knowing that this place exists. Thank you Happy eyes!!! read more

Went in to get nose pads fixed on my glasses. 10 minutes and 5 bucks later, it's done. Great shop!

I've been going to this shop for at least 10 years and they are the nicest, most caring people. I buy frames there on occasion but he is great at putting lenses in your frames too.. which many people will not do. They are a full service store and I think everyone should go there! Tony and wife.. are the finest. read more

I've been unemployed so on a very tight budget. I found THE best optometrist at Costco in Marina del Rey, and you don't have to be a member you can just go in and they did a great job and it was very inexpensive. Then I bought some nice, inexpensive frames, plus I had some frames already and I went to Happy Eyes to have my lens made and put into my frames. They made me 1 pair of sunglasses and two pairs of reading glasses to my prescription. They were fantastic! The lens were very reasonably priced, and they did them very fast, one or two days. And they were the best lens I ever had, super sharp and crisp. There is easy access parking just across the street, and I have always been in and out of the store very quick, I've never seen it busy inside. Also, they were so sweet they texted me on my phone when my glasses were done. I live in Santa Monica, but I drive all the way out to Glendale to let Happy Eyes do my lens. Just love them! read more

I am the most pickiest person on the planet, i was searching for a pair of glasses after going to my doctor and seeing that his options weren't much, I went on trusty Yelp and found this place. I stopped by and was greeted with such a warm welcome, Erin who helped me took time in searching for the glasses I was looking for and found exactly what I was looking for, she was so kind and we started talking about family and sharing stories and it was such an incredible experience, the prices were reasonable too!!highly recommend going if you're in need of new glasses! read more

Been going to Happy Eyes Optical for over 10 years now and I am beyond happy with the service and prices. Sally and Tony (the owners) are so cool and friendly. Customer service is awesome, I would highly recommend you to visit Happy Eyes for any glasses, sunglasses, and repair!! ps the dog that's always in the back is the cutest and sweetest dog ever! read more

I wouldn't even give this one star, but let it be my Christmas gift to them... I called in to get a quote. The guy said they don't quote over the phone. Guess why! Well, I walked in having dressed up pretty decently and had expensive sunglasses over my hair. I guess the way u r dressed determines the price. I got quoted double what Hye Optic quoted. Next, I decided to check my theory. My friend went in wearing her home clothes, and got quoted 25$ cheaper for the same lenses, which was still significantly more expensive than Hye Optics. Plus there is no parking, the variety is not as wide as Hye Optics, and they try to sell you the brandname frames regardless of what u need. I asked for a durable frame, and the guy offered me Ray-Bans. Really?! Not going back again. Save yourself a trip and go to Hye Optics. Over there u will also get a bottle of lense cleaner for 5$ (free with help offer) and limitless free refills :) read more

i found this place through the bargainsla.com website. the guy i spoke to is name tony and he was really friendly and knowledgable. they are known for fashionable eyewear at wholesale prices. they did offer name brand eye glasses along with lower name brands so it's geared towards everyone. i got a pretty good deal on total package with the frames and my prescription since my eye sight is pretty bad. if you check out the website, they also have some coupons you can use too. the only parking to the place is in the 2 metered lots across the street or in the parking structure that is nearby (but that costs way more and it's cheaper to park at meters). read more

I heard about Happy Eyes while browsing at Old Focal in Pasadena. They came highly recommended if I needed lenses for frames purchased there. I was in search of the right frames. I looked at the major places including my ophthalmologists office, but no luck. Since I work a short stroll from Happy Eyes I decided to give them a try. I believe they are owner operated and I must say are very friendly and helpful. On my first visit the lady sat with me for at least an hour trying on frames. Their selection and willingness to help you find what you want is second to none. When all was said and done I bought a pair of glasses and had my eye on 2 other frames. I was back less than a week after I picked up my first pair and ordered 2 more. I like to change my look so I try to have a few pairs around. I am a customer for life. read more

So great! A little mom and pop shop with all the charm and w/o the price gauging of the big chains. Be sure to pet their little Maltese, Louie! read more

Do not go here - poor service by Tony. Wrong measurement on the lenses. I would never go back. Not worth the price!
