    My new Ray-Bans
    Josh M.

    I came in to get my glasses adjusted, which I hadn't purchased from them. I realized I was due for a new pair and they squeezed me in right then. I had an eye exam and got some nice new glasses ordered. They said they'd be ready in about a week or two but they were ready in about 5 days. I'd mentioned to Dr. Chad that my son had recently been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, so he suggested I get him in for an exam. Everyone was so nice and accommodating to him. He's only 7, so he can be quite fidgety but they made it work! I cant recommend them enough! Dr. Chad is amazing and every single person I've encountered there is beyond friendly and so helpful!

    I have been going to Dr. Shimazaki for a few years now. He's been wonderful at handling my eye exams, contacts, and glasses. I received excellent care each visit with him. In addition, his staff are friendly and helpful. After having my second child, I asked Dr. Shimazaki if I'd be a good candidate for LASIK eye surgery. He referred me to an excellent eye surgeon named Dr. Lusby at Nvision eye centers in Torrance. Dr. Lusby performed the surgery on me in June, and I couldn't have been happier with my current 20/20 vision. Dr Shimazaki followed up with my post-op appointments to make sure I didn't have any complications. I'm a very satisfied patient. Thank you Dr Shimazaki.

    I ended up here when my long-time local optometrist shut down abruptly, and they were exceptionally kind and efficient.

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.

Thank you for always being friendly, patient and informative.

I didn't want to make the drive to my eye doctor in OC so I contacted this office and they were able to squeeze me in the same day. Thank you so much!! The staff was friendly, patient and professional. I have PPO insurance so I was able to go with whomever so that helped. In keeping with the friendly and approachable theme - Doctor Florister was also very friendly, patient and professional. And quite funny. She was a bit alarmed that I had rinsed off the top layer of my eye but reassured me that the eye will heal itself in a day or two if I stopped rinsing. The moral of the story I learned is that if something gets caught in your eyes- just rinse continuously for the first 15 minutes and then stop - whatever is in there would come out by then if not then no amount of continued rinsing would help. Don't be an idiot like me and rinse every two hours ! ‍‍ My eyes are back to normal now with the use of eye ointment and gel drops. No prescription medication needed and not antibiotics because she didn't think it was infected. Overall I was very happy with my experience with Eye Care Riviera and highly recommend it! Cheers!

You can probably complete some of them in the little mall and can likely complete all of them in the surrounding area. My insurance changed dramatically, so finding good, reputable and legit care sometimes takes a lot of research. I want good vibes, no chaos and don't want my medical offices to feel like churn clinics. I found Eye Zone meets my requirements and I'm glad I scheduled an appointment. I do have to wait several weeks for my glasses, but that is what it is with some insurance these days. The group here is rocking the process. What's not to love?
