    Angela A.

    my brother Joseph A has been coming here for years and I wish I had known! well it's never too late and I'm so happy I decided to give them a try. Dr. Dang, as most of the reviews say, is a wonderful and very personable, yet very professional and highly qualified optometrist. I could stop short and just say she is an absolute sweetheart. go see her, you won't regret it. so thanks to her, the blind lady in me is so relieved that she's finally found a doctor who doesn't just go through the routine of taking your exam... one or two, which is better? two or three, now which is better? etc etc... the last few times I went through that I noticed having difficulty with my close up vision, and also some distortion with my far vision, but wasn't sure how to go about it or express that to my doctor. being that I am practically legally blind, and Dr. Dang's awareness of that, she was very careful with writing my prescription. while on the one hand, she could give me a prescription for my heavy nearsightedness, that prescription could also affect the quality of my close-up reading. it's a fine balance, which she understood, and took the extra time to help me find that place. she was very thorough with my exam, and also checked the health of my eyes, which I greatly appreciated being that I wear contacts for at least 14 hours a day, and have been doing so for about 30 years. after my exam I returned to try on several contact lens samples that Dr. Dang had ordered. I had never had such an extensive contact lens fitting. Dr. Dang spent plenty of time with me to make sure that I could see properly and feel comfortable. sure enough, I had to try on at least four sets of contacts. she helped me figure what I would be at ease with and really knew the best approach. I am so thankful for her knowledge, experience and mostly, her genuine care. not only does she want to get the job done, she wants it done right. sure, she can write me a prescription, but that doesn't mean I am going to have the best possible and comfortable vision. thank you Dr. Dang for helping me accomplish this. this office offers a nice selection of frames and accepts VSP insurance. I am very happy with my new pair of retro-ish Lulu Guiness frames, with lenses scratch free, ultra ultra thin high index, polished around the edges, polarized, etc etc with all the bells and whistles... and my new monthly contacts feel great!

She was incredibly thorough in testing my vision and took the time to get everything just right. She recommended separate single-vision lenses for reading, and that made a huge difference. My new Zeiss progressive lenses are noticeably better than my previous pair...much sharper and crystal clear. Much thanks to Dr. Park and David for their excellent care and service!

    Listen up. Dr Allison is the best. Every time I see her, she gives her all to make sure my new…read moreprescription gets me the sharpest vision possible. I have a very complicated case, and she always takes that into account when she's fitting me for new glasses. Last year I went to another local optometrist office. Instead of waiting a week or two for her, I got this other appointment fairly quickly. That should have been a clue. This other doctor didn't bother to actually change my RX for new glasses after I sat through the exam. I got the new glasses but I was wondering, why can't I see? So I went back and the doctor basically said they thought the new RX would be too strong for me, so they kept it the same. WHAT? Why would I come in? For a new set of groovy frames??? I had to get the glasses remade and it took like another month. And they weren't very good even then. Absolutely ridiculous. Don't be a dummy and go elsewhere. Dr Allison really is exceptional. I'm grateful for her skill and her care. Thanks, Glendale Optometry!

    I wonder why my experience wasn't like all the five-star raves here, because honestly, this person…read moredoes NOT deserve that. To preface: I understand if an optometrist suspects something, they refer you to an ophthalmologist. That's normal. I also understand nerves can look "questionable," and I'm fine with being referred. In fact, I loved the ophthalmologist I ended up seeing. What bothers me is the sketchy way this all went down, which left me with a very suspicious gut feeling. First off, the "exam room" was basically a long storage closet with old papers stacked everywhere, a chair, and i actually think it was the closet -- just fully not a professional medical office. It felt dirty and disorganized, 100% total opposite of every other optometrist I've ever seen. First red flag. Then during the exam (not dilated), he kept making "hmm...uhhh..." noises while looking through his lens. When I asked what was wrong, he literally said: "When I look at your eye, I SEE GLAUCOMA." I was shocked. I had just turned 40 three months ago, have zero family history, and every other optometrist has told me my nerves looked healthy -- one even showed them on a big screen and called them "healthy nerve examples." I told him this and he replied, "Well, glaucoma can show up later," then added I "may need" laser treatment -- even though when he finally did a pressure test, it was normal. If my nerves looked suspicious, fine -- just say that and refer me. But declaring "I see glaucoma" without proof, without even explaining what glaucoma even is, was just so beyond unprofessional and unnecessarily frightening. ok SO the BIGGEST red flag: he insisted that I ONLY SEE HIS "friend" in Culver City, and (i am literally quoting him verbatim) "no ophthalmologists in Pasadena or this area are any good." Excuse me? We live in Los Angeles -- one of the biggest cities in the world, with UCLA, USC, and countless world-class specialists -- not the middle of nowhere. Meanwhile, I'm sitting in this dude's gross closet of an office, thinking, "Does he not see where he's practicing? He expects me to trust this??" The irony was laughable if it hadn't been so alarming. Finally, despite acing my vision test, he told me I needed low-grade glasses. At checkout, the staff kept tacking on add-ons I didn't ask for ("blue light $60, anti-reflection $30, another $30..."), and I walked out $80 poorer for glasses I didn't need. I left in shock and immediately called my mom and brother (both MDs), who were just as stunned. I refused to call his "friend" and instead went to a reputable ophthalmologist my brother recommended. That doctor did a full workup with multiple scans, tests, and dilation, and told me my optic nerves are completely healthy -- just naturally a bit larger than average. He also confirmed I DO NOT need glasses. So this optometrist was the ONLY one who's ever told me I "have glaucoma." To me, it felt like fear tactics and upselling, and taking advantage of a woman he assumed was naïve. My advice: do NOT go here. If you're told something serious, get a second opinion from a board-certified ophthalmologist before you spend money or agree to treatment.

    My experience tells me before you prescribe the lens, make sure to double check the price and how…read moreare they going to charge you. I got an eye allergy in Nov and came in to check my eyes. So doctor assumed this might be caused by my current contact lens. He recommended of using a pair of weekly contacts instead of my current monthly contacts since I don't wear it that much. I fellow through and scheduled another appointment for a new pair of weekly contact 2 months later in Jan. Here is what got me frustrated... I came in and thought I can just try this pair of contact and pay for this pair of contact only since this is a new trial and I don't have vision insurance. I also just did my eye check up in Nov for my eye allergy. However, this is not what I've expected. He said he is a business man. He can't just give me the trial contact lenses to try on. Also based on the California law, I have to start over my eye exam every once a year. And my prescription has been expired in June so I have to redo it again. WTH!! I never heard that I have to do the eye exam each year and the prescription can ONLY last for an year?!! And when I looked up online, the prescription can last up to 2 years. Anyway, good thing I asked in more details before doing everything else. I walked out this eye center at last and decide to prescribe a new pair of contact from Costco instead. While I am having no insurance coverage for vision, there is no point for me to pay another eye exam AGAIN in cash + a new pair of contact lenses to try. This is not a right a way for doing business. That's truly a ripped off.

    I should have left when there were not one, but two disgruntled customers in store present upon my…read moreinitial visit... (one with a lost contact prescription, one upset about getting pressured to buy frames) I wanted to support a local small business so I came here to get my lenses updated. One of the employees was helping swap lenses from a broken pair of glasses to my new frames, was unsuccessful, and damaged my brand new frames (that I purchased elsewhere and brought in) in the process. The owner was too busy pressuring me to buy new frames despite me saying over, and over, and OVER again that I don't need new frames. When I brought up the damage they caused, the store owner was indignant and said it was my own fault for authorizing them to work on it. For a simple service, I wasn't expecting such a chaotic atmosphere in the store and such rude service from the owner. It's really a shame. Edit: I had a good laugh reading all the 1 and 2 star reviews hidden just below the sight line. Dr. Kim is, by all accounts, a menace to Montrose. One good thing to come from this is I was so frustrated that I purchased my own optometry equipment and learned to adjust my own glasses. Rewarding!

Very thorough and informative. I brought old frames (w/ progressives) I had purchased there, as well as another pair (of readers) I got last year. They were able to work with the old progressive frames (6 yrs ago) to get new lenses added. And for the readers, I shared they fell off after only a month last year and chipped. They molded them to fit better in my face and are replacing the lenses. I'm so very grateful for the time they took to ensure both pairs would work for me moving forward. Frames are getting more expensive (as well as lenses!); and I am appreciative of their service and support. Thank you!
