Long-term confidence in an optometrist is earned through repetition: exam after exam, prescription…read moreafter prescription, adjustment after adjustment. An entire family continuing with Dr. Diane Risco for years is not an accident. It reflects a level of care that remains steady well beyond a single successful appointment. The defining quality here is clinical patience joined with practical judgment. A prescription can be technically correct and still fail in daily use, especially for sensitive eyes where a slight mismatch can mean headaches, strain, or visual discomfort. The exam is not treated as a rushed exercise in reaching a number. Time is spent refining the result until clear vision and actual comfort align. That care is especially evident with contact lenses. Samples are provided so the prescription can be tested under real conditions before committing: wear time, clarity, sensitivity, and comfort all matter once the lens leaves the exam room. That trial step reflects a clinician who understands that the final answer is not simply what measures correctly, but what performs well in ordinary life. Follow-up is handled with the same seriousness. If a prescription does not feel right afterward, returning for adjustment is treated as part of the care process rather than an inconvenience. Questions also receive thorough explanation, including broader eye-health concerns when they fall within Dr. Risco's expertise. That willingness to explain, reassure, and refine makes a meaningful difference, particularly when vision issues are not straightforward. Dr. Risco is clearly busy and in demand, but the appointment itself never feels disposable. The value is not merely accuracy; it is the insistence that accuracy must translate into comfort, clarity, and usable vision. That is why the care has remained worth returning to for years.

Dr Risco is very good at her job. Professional,knowledgeable,personable. Absolutely would recommend…read morescheduling an eye exam. Friendly staff ,reasonable priced exam.

I had an EXCELLENT experience at Dr Olinger's office! Right from the beginning of checking in, to…read morethe pre-testing, exam and ending in Optical--top-notch treatment! I've had many eye exams over the years and nothing came close to what I experienced with Dr Olinger. He was so patient and thorough and did tests that I have not seen before that made me feel extremely confident in the prescription results. He explained everything to me so clearly and I could not ask for a better Optometrist! Angie and Rosa in the Optical department were so welcoming and helpful in my frame and lens choices and also felt confident with their expertise. They have a virtual reality headset that takes measurements for my progressive lenses and this is something else you don't experience at most Optometry offices! I cannot wait to get my glasses!!! EXCELLENT 5 STAR EXPERIENCE!

The doctor alone gets 5 stars! Dr Olinger was nice, attentive and professional. His front staff 5…read morestars they were very welcoming and friendly. I was not happy with the two ladies on the optical side the ones who place your order on the glasses. I took my son and wanted to take a look at their inventory for my future appointments and the lady with short blonde hair made a big deal then when she walked with me to look at the glasses she looked bothered and the other lady with the dark hair she helped us with my sons glasses after his exam and SHE CHOSE the glasses we got to look at, she didn't offer my son the chance to to look around. She wasn't even nice she gave us the minimum required customer service, she behaved like she was forced to help us. For this reason I will not be going there or taking my child back.

The BEST optometrist I've had since I was a kid!!! I wish all doctors, dentists, etc had her level…read moreof attentiveness and care. Dr Fermin is incredibly thorough, knowledgable, professional and very caring. You can tell she truly values the interpersonal relationship with her patients and is service-oriented. I live in West LA and drive down here to see Dr. Fermin because the service is the very best. This may seem like a hyperbolic review but it's been challenging finding optometrists (or doctors) whom have a great bedside manner and spend time w/ their clients. My previous optometrist was always trying to oversell and it gets annoying even when you've declined multiple times. I have a high prescription, differing astigmatism in both eyes and did not have my previous Rx with me at the time of my exam so Dr Fermin had her work cut out for her and my prescription was spot on! Dr. Fermin works with you to find the best contacts/lenses that work with your lifestyle and usage. Laura, the Office Manager is always sweet, helpful and responsive with her replies and scheduling. For a caring professional experience COME HERE!

DANGEROUS MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE. THIS IS A UNCARING CORPORATE FACTORY POSING AS A SMALL LOCAL…read moreBUSINESS. Warning to the South Bay: This is NOT the local, caring optometry office it pretends to be. They are part of VSP Ventures, a massive corporate giant (Google it & see attached pic), and it shows. They treat patients like numbers on a spreadsheet, not humans and repeatedly got my eye exams wrong. The Negligence: For six years, they failed to diagnose a standard condition I've had since 2017. In July 2025, Dr. Lee removed my astigmatism correction entirely. When I explicitly told her I couldn't see and questioned the prescription, I was dismissed. A manager promised to call me back--no one ever did. The Result: I spent months driving with dangerous, blurry vision and wasted over $3,000 on 9 pairs of useless glasses because I thought better glasses would help me, but the problem was their incompetence. I finally went to a new independent doctor (Leaf Optometry), who immediately diagnosed the issue and confirmed Manhattan Beach Vision Group has been getting it wrong for years after looking over all my previous prescriptions. Do not trust your eyes to this factory. They care about volume, not accuracy. Go to a real local doctor who actually listens and cares.

I had a disappointing experience. At check-in, I confirmed that my visit would be covered by my…read moreinsurance and was told that it was. Once I was in the room with Dr. Luan Lee, I agreed to an $39 out-of-pocket charge to check my retina. After the glasses prescription exam, Dr. Luan Lee suggested a contact lens fitting "to make the most of the visit," without disclosing that it would cost $150. I only learned of this charge at checkout. When I questioned it, the interaction became uncomfortable. They eventually agreed to remove the charge in exchange for deleting the contact lens fitting data. Additionally, my name was spelled incorrectly on the printed glasses prescription I took home, even after I asked for it to be corrected. The checkout experience felt rushed and uncomfortable, and I left without having my existing glasses tightened, despite needing an adjustment due to normal wear, which was disappointing. On a positive note, the technician who performed my initial tests before I saw the doctor was very professional and courteous. I am sharing this review so others considering this office know to be vigilant, ask detailed questions, and get clear confirmation of costs upfront. I will not be returning.
