Jimmy's was permanently closed when I visited on March 31, 2026. I called and spoke with a woman who sounded like his wife but not to Jimmy. She did refer me to other Zeiss lens dealers in the area. I was not able to get copies of my records to help me with buying the identical lenses. Sorry I didn't get that last pairs of frames two months ago. read more

Jimmy is an awesome guy. I went to him to buy prescription glasses for my son who has extreme myopia. I've already picked up the frames that fit my son and went to him to make the lenses. I was given a quote and once the glasses were ready, my son tested it and it was perfect. Most importantly, Jimmy is an honest guy, he didn't charge me more than he shouldn't. There are plenty of parking near his optical. Call him before you visit the store. I highly recommend anyone who needs prescription glasses or related services to visit Jimmy's Optical. Thanks Jimmy & Susan! read more

AWESOME place to get a new pair of glasses! They carry Asian Fit frames. I am hard to fit b/c I have high cheekbones and a small bridge. I immediately found a pair of glasses! The man (?Jimmy) was extremely knowledgeable and helpful! No pressure , he didn't try to sell me anything extra. They can do lenses too, but I need to update my prescription so I only bought the frames. The frames are plastic with a high built in bridge. I don't have to worry about adjusting the nose pads when they get bent from wear, and you don't see the nose bridge either. Thank you! read more

This is where I and several co-workers go to get our prescription safety glasses and Jimmy is so helpful and just a great guy that I would definitely recommend this place! read more

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. read more

Jimmy is the man! Came here to have my glasses nose pads repaired and not only did he have the specialty ones that I needed but helped install them also. Prices are very fair and a great guy!! Highly recommend! read more

Jimmy's Optical was recommended by Tak Shimazaki, O.D. Decades ago, and Jimmy's Optical always delivers. Jimmy knows eyewear backwards and forwards. Most recently, after this year's annual exam, the decision was to hold off on new glasses until after cataract surgery. As soon as I got home, the left earpiece broke. Options were sending the glasses out for a process that would take several days or Jimmy would look for earpieces that might work for the short term for a quicker, less expensive repair. Jimmy found earpieces that worked perfectly (with some slight, expert modifications) and the glasses fit even better than before! If anyone has an issue with eyewear, you can't go wrong by checking with Jimmy's Optical first! read more

Jimmy was able to fix my frames on my glasses that broke right above the bridge. He soldered and painted it. Took about 1 week. Looks like brand new. A little bit pricey for a repair, but still cheaper than buying another frame. read more

Jimmy was a lifesaver!! I went to two other optometrists and a jewelry store to see if they could fix my cheap Chinese Izod glasses that had snapped at the bridge. I was told a number of excuses and was stuck with my beat up old backup pair of Transition glasses until I could find a replacement. (The transition film was cracking too so it was really foggy looking out of those glasses.) After walking in to Jimmy's shop (right next door to Curry House) he helped me pick out a replacement frame, popped the still good lenses out of my Izods and within 15 minutes, I had a new pair of glasses! Cost was very reasonable too! Can't recommend this shop enough! read more

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! read more

I've been dealing with opticians almost my whole life and I promise you this location is the worst

I can't say enough about how AMAZING my experience was with Jimmy's Optical. My husband broke his one and only pair of glasses. In an emergency situation I called one hour before closing!! Jimmy's wife assured me if I could make it in with in 10 minutes they could take care of us. True to their word. My husbands glasses were repaired in a matter minutes. If you ever need a MIRACLE go see Jimmy you will not regret it. read more

Amazing place.. Had to take my daughters glasses for emergency repair after she was assaulted by a male.. Jimmy was so kind and caring .. Repaired her glasses within an hour!! I will def be back!! Thank you so much! read more

Jimmy, Diane and staff are knowledgeable and very helpful. I had my non prescription sunglasses lens replaced here. I chose a shade which I thought was dark, but it wasn't and brought it back for adjustment. Jimmy did a great job adding a slightly darker tint and fixed the problem...been to many optical shops, Jimmy's Optical is by far the most helpful one in the Southbay. Will definitely be coming back. Thanks Jimmy! read more

Best eye glass selection. Very friendly and knowledgeable owner and workers with excellent customer service. Recommend to all.

Jimmy is a top notch Craftsman who does excellent work. He's also a family man and will let you know the best and most economical way to repair your eyeglasses. Hopefully you'll never have to get your glasses fixed ; but if you do, you can't go wrong getting Jimmy to fix them. read more

I live in Cerritos, but I make the drive to Gardena (about 20 to 30 minutes) just to get my glasses/sunglasses from Jimmy's optical. I've been going to Jimmy's since 2001, ever since the first time I needed glasses! This past weekend, I just recently visited to get a new pair of sunglasses! Jimmy's is a family owned and operated optical store that has such a wide range of styles and brands to choose from. You can find Oakley, Ray Ban, Gucci, Prada, Kaenon, and many other brands for both sunglasses and frames. The prices are fair and the service is more than dependable! I've never had a bad experience or have been unhappy with the products that I have purchased. I even still have the very first pair of glasses that I purchased! The employees are more than knowledgeable about the products they sell; they can even tell you some of the history of some of the brands. They will honestly and more than willingly help you find the right pair of frames or sunglasses to match you and your personality. I really appreciate the fact that they don't try to feed you some BS or lie to you to try and get you to buy the most expensive frame or item. So if you're in need of a new pair of glasses or shades, I recommend giving Jimmy's optical a try! :D read more

I don't understand why I haven't gone here instead of sunglass hut. My experience here has been nothing but satisfying. They know what they're talking about and dealt with my rudimentary questions with clear helpful answers. I went in with intent to buy oakleys, walked out with Kaenons. Much better! read more

My eyeglass frame stem broke off at the hinge, and the whole spring hinge had to be replaced. I called many opticians in the area, but none could do it, except Jimmy. I took the frame there, and found that Jimmy was very gracious and knowledgeable. He told me exactly how he'd repair it, and even offered me a replacement frame to put the lenses in. He did a great job at a very reasonable price by the end of the day. I was extremely pleased with the whole experience. I enthusiastically recommend him. read more

Ended up breaking both pair of my glasses and needed a new pair ASAP! Went over to Jimmy's optical to see if they could find x my broken pair but my glasses had to be shipped out to fix and I didn't have that kind of time me so I was able to buy a frame from here and they took the lenses out of my broken ones and put them in the new frame and it only took an hour! Great and fast service. read more

Excellent service, Jimmy or I asume the owner helped me with a voucher for work glasses. 15 mins prior to closing and was able to get it done . Recommend for eye protection glasses. read more

A fine business. Service, attention to detail, custom fit, glasses that make you look better than when you walk in the door. Jimmy does sport specific and work safety glasses that make you look good!. He carries the latest brands and knows how to fit specific customers. I bought a pair of Rudy Project sunglasses back when he was one of the few dealers in Southern California to carry them. I have a few more pari since. Checking out the 2012 olympics I saw many european teams wearing Rudy Projects. All I know is they care about their customers, they are good at what they do and they want you to be satisfied. When you are ready for your next pair of glasses, give them a visit. They also do expert repairs. read more

Loved Jimmy's Optical. Not only is it an owner-run small business, but Jimmy has an extensive assortment of frames including very boutique style frames handmade locally.
