    Metal side that was welded back together.

    My glasses broke on the side. Jimmy welded my metal pieces back together and I can once again were my glasses. Thank you!

    Prescription Oakley Half Jacket Sunglasses
    Mary F.

    I visited Jimmy's Optical because it was listed as an authorized Oakley dealer and I decided I was willing to plop down some serious money for some prescription Oakley sunglasses. I'd gotten a case of sunglass-envy after admiring all the cool sporty looking sunglasses on the runners I'd see out and about. See, the thing about prescription sports sunglasses is that you're paying for the super duper lenses. The frames themselves are normal prices. It's the lens that puts you over the edge. For example, I got a pair of Oakley Half Jacket Asian Fit frames for $135. That's about what you'd expect to pay for a pair of Oakley's. But with the polarized, non-scratch, shatterproof, hydrophobic, bulletproof* lens, the price suddenly inflated to $473. Jimmy saw the shock on my face when he quoted me that insane price and he was really helpful. He let me know he could lower the price by doing the lenses in-house. He also mentioned if I really wanted to save money, I could go to an Oakley outlet and get a discontinued pair and then he could do the lenses. Ultimately, I decided I would go all out with this purchase and I went with the Oakley frame with the pricey Oakley lenses. I want to warn other future Oakley owners that just because they offer all these awesome customizations on their website doesn't mean they are all available. My little heart was broken when I heard the Emerald Green lens was no longer an option. The Green Girl with non-green sunglasses? I mean what has the world come to? They also give you an option to engrave but I found out after I placed the order that I couldn't get my personalized engraving. I don't understand why because they were certainly capable of engraving their trademark 'O'. Jimmy understood my disappointment and he added a complimentary coating of non-glare on the inside the non-Emerald Green lenses. I also appreciated the fact that Jimmy let me know there was no reason for me to spend extra money on the case. Jimmy gets 4 stars but Oakley gets 3 because they need to be more consistent. * Unfortunately, that was an exaggeration and they are sadly, not bulletproof.

    My puppy decided that my glasses looked yummy. Jimmy fixed them as good as new! He did it fast and for a great price. Jimmy is truly an artist! My puppy is so glad I found Jimmy on Yelp!

    It blows my mind that there are reviews from people who THINK they can fraudulently bad mouth you…read moreand your business! I'm glad you do take the time to respond back, because people like this really don't deserve it. However, as a former small business owner myself, dealing with people who think they can get away with lies or misinformation are despicable. Anyways, I've been totally satisfied each and every time my husband and I have been coming here, for over twenty years, including when Dr. Au took over the practice from Dr. Huey. Thank you for always being friendly, patient and informative.

    i am new to vsp and called to make an appointment for an exam for contact lens. the front desk…read morestaff were all really nice, over the phone and in person. they called prior to my appointment to give a friendly reminder. dr au and his staff were all very professional. my exam look about 30m dr au was pretty personable. recommended that i purchase pataday eye drops for my red eyes which are caused by allergies. the only thing is that i was not made aware of was the contact fitting fee, which is $60. when i called to make the appt, the gal provided my co pay amount and the allowance for contacts under my vision insurance. this is why i always opt out of vision insurance bc it costs less for me to pay out of pocket for contacts than to pay for vision insurance twice a month + copay + contact fitting fee + difference of what my insurance covers for contacts, which is about $100 more. so basically i am paying double this year. other than not disclosing the contact fitting fee..the visit was good. parking: plenty of parking.

I had a 4:30 pm appointment and as soon as I walked in, I waited about 3 minutes and they had called my name already. I was greeted by the front desk receptionist Silvia with a welcoming smile! I was then helped out by Micah who performed the preliminary procedures for my eye exam. He was very professional and took the time to explain what each state of the art equipment does. I was then seen by Dr Chad Shimazaki. Awesome optometrist. Very professional and helpful! He took the time to explain what all the results meant from my eye exam. He made me feel like I was part of North Torrance Optometry family already! Lastly, I was able to meet his father Dr Tak Shimazaki, the one who started it all. He was very friendly and welcoming. He was even doing some housekeeping to make sure the office was nice and tidy. Hands down I highly recommend North Torrance optometry to anyone looking for help with their vision. At the end of my consultation, Wendy who explained all the numbers and pricing to me was super helpful! I have nothing to say but positive things about this business! Very professional and great service!!! Highly recommended!

    Tried this small optometry office for an eye exam. The ophthalmologist that I went to for 12 years…read morefor an eye/vision exam retired so decided to try out this place... First of call when I called to make an appointment the young lady that answered was very curt and rushed. It was like being at a trivia night. When I got there the day of my appointment she stated that she didn't have any appointment scheduled at that time. I gave her my name and she stated she tried calling me to confirm the appointment and that I gave her the wrong number... so it was my fault she rushed when making my appointment and didn't reback the number to confirm she heard it correctly... which is receptionist duties 101. Waited a bit to see the OD because people walked in whike i was completing the paperwork so they were seen first. Once in the exam room the optometrist started the exam and he was thorough but he never explained what he was doing and just gave me instructions.. or never explained what each part of the exam was for which is what im use to. He did say my eyes were "pretty beat up" and I dont think I'll ever find that diagnosis in any medical book. The opthalmic machine looked old and it was sticky on my forhead asa lean my head on it. The eye paddle I was given to over my eye was also sticky. He told me not to touch my eye to it .... At no point did I see anyone cleaning or disinfecting anything with wipes. He did use a new machine to measure eye pressure that doesn't use a puff of air. After spending a long while going back and forth on the machine trying to get the correct prescription ... because the machine would blurr ... not sure what the issue was but it was frustrating and left the office with a prescription i didn't feel too confident with. Usually I get really nice frames and go all out. but ordered some inexpensive ones online to make sure the prescription worked for me. Not sure ill come back next year.
