When I walked in for my second visit to Verdugo Optical, to pick up my new glasses, a man was finishing up at the front counter with Rita. He turned around and blurted out to me, "You're in good hands." I replied, "I think so." He shot back, "I know so." No argument; you'll be in the best of hands.

Rita at Verdugo Optical is a true professional and took time to help me find frames that actually fit my face and never rushed me or tried to upsell me on things I didn't need like blue light blocker coating. I had been relying on over-the-counter readers for a while, but switching to custom glasses has been a game changer. Now everything feels sharper, almost like seeing in 3D. Turnaround time was quick, and the pricing was unmatched. Highly recommend.

Dr. Fouladian is also incredibly professional and kind; he always responds to any question or concern throughout the course of the appointment. Options for glasses and contacts here are bountiful, and they were even willing to work with glasses I already had to update the prescriptions if needed. I'm very thankful that I found this optometrist and to be honest, it's the customer service that keeps me coming back more than anything.

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.

The location was super easy access, the reception area was warm, clean and welcoming. Exceptional experience, we will be back. NOTE: Based on the low star drawn-out reviews, here's my takeaway: We were never upsold on anything, overcharged for anything, our insurance coverage was accepted and we would not expect any free service or returns.

(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!
