I had a fantastic experience at The Eye Shop Optometry!! It is located on the Albertsons plaza…read more There's plenty of parking. Making an appointment was as easy as calling the optometry and giving them information on my insurance plan (where they are able to look it up and tell you the benefits). On the day of the appointment, I recommend coming early to fill out the intake form as a new patient and bringing your existing prescribed glasses. Afterwards, I took some quick check-in test before seeing the doctor. Dr. Nguyen did my eye exams and she was wonderful! She was thorough, explained everything in an easy to understand/detailed manner, gave really practical and actionable advice, and answered all the questions I had. The front desk folks, Ben and Raul, were also amazing!! They were super friendly, kind, and helpful throughout my visit. What I most appreciated was that they explained all the benefits of my insurance and shared their recommendations on what frames and lense features to choose given my benefits. In terms of frames, they carry name brands like Gucci, Fendi, Versace, Prada, Tom Ford, etc. Plenty to choose from. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better optometry experience.

Eric To, OD., FSLS is the best optometrist I've been to in a very long time. I recently switched…read morefrom Stein Optometry in Burbank to Lumen because Dr. To truly cares about his patients. The entire staff is amazing--super professional, the environment is very clean, and they have a beautiful, stylish selection of glasses. Dr. To recommended computer glasses for me, which had never been suggested during the years I went to Stein. I always felt my regular glasses were too strong when working close to my computer, since I sit pretty close to the screen and my nearsighted prescription made things uncomfortable at that distance. The computer glasses have made an incredible difference. I also switched to scleral contact lenses, and they've been a total game changer. My disposable contacts just don't compare--I used to experience some blurriness with them. Dr. To explained why that happens, and the staff walked me through how to properly care for the new lenses, including how to insert and remove them. I can't imagine going back to my old contacts now. The scleral lenses are extremely comfortable, stay in place, and are custom fit to my eyes. I highly recommend Dr. To.

A few years ago, my old optometrist had an insurance change, and I was forced to find a new office…read more I decided to try Lumen because all the reviews said this place was amazing. They are! This optometrist office has the most professional and knowledgeable staff I've ever seen. Really, from the very first interaction in the lobby--they are thorough. It turned out this office was able to catch something other offices had missed. I was quickly referred to a specialist, which helped me care for my eyes. This is the best optometrist, period.

Despite our disappointing experiences at this location, time constraints forced us to give them another try. We arrived just as they opened. Our daughter already knew which glasses she wanted. She checked in and was first in the queue. A couple minutes later Valerie called us up to the counter. She had the glasses our daughter selected and began her order. She walked us through each step of the process, highlighting important details while patiently answering all our questions. Valerie also easily handled the prescription update for the sunglasses. She re-confirmed our daughter's address and phone number for the shipment, pointing out that although the receipt notes "Pick-Up", her glasses will be shipped. Later while having lunch across the way at Din Tai Fung, our daughter said she thinks her prescription may have been entered wrong. She felt bad about having to double check, but we wanted to be sure. After lunch she walked over to see Valerie again. Although it was busy, Valerie took the time to pull her orders, explain what our daughter saw and confirm that her prescription is accurate. It was a great experience today, thanks to Valerie!

He re-bent the frame so it was straight again, replaced the nose pads without me asking, and gave them a full clean. By the end, they honestly looked and felt brand new. The store itself is clean, well organized, and they have a really nice selection of frames at reasonable prices. After this visit, the value definitely stands out. What I appreciated most was how easy and genuine the whole interaction felt. When I asked how much I owed, he just smiled and said not to worry about it. Simple, great service like that goes a long way. Thank you again, Anthony.

Until I did. So glad I found Dr. Julie Oh. The facility is modern and well-equipped, but what really made the visit was Dr. Oh herself. She was thorough (given my two-decade gap, she covered everything). She even showed me the insides of my eyes and explained how they screen for things like high blood pressure and diabetes. This doctor is skilled, I'm telling you. She was not just in full control of my eyes, she was even messing around with my brain. Walls bent. Lines on the floor swayed. But all throughout she explained everything, was genuinely kind and patient, constantly telling me not to worry and that I was doing great. When I asked for short breaks, she was super understanding and gracious. I really liked that. Not once did I feel unsafe. No amount of tech beats genuine human kindness. One thing that really impressed me: when the computer results didn't seem right, she trusted her own expertise and switched to traditional methods. That kind of judgment and humility says a lot. Her assistants Olivia and Rosie were also great - professional, friendly, and happy to answer every question I had. The whole experience was far more tolerable than I'd imagined. Almost fun even. If you've been avoiding the optometrist like I was, Dr. Oh and this team has got you. Highly recommend!

I'm an aging guy, on a limited budget, who went from decades of scraping by with non-prescription…read morereaders to finally accepting that I needed four pairs of specialized prescription glasses--for reading, for sitting in front of computers for hours on end, and for distance both indoors and outdoors (sunglasses). After resisting wearing glasses for so long, and, let's face it, being a little vain, I wasn't a good candidate for progressives despite the practical and economic considerations. Trying to wrap my head around an expanding universe of frames and lenses in every shape and price range after being so resistant for so long was overwhelming. I'd gone to all the usual suspect shops in Old Town Pasadena, where parking is always a challenge, as is finding a knowledgeable and caring employee working on an hourly wage, without coming close to making a purchase. One day I was driving down Colorado Boulevard, stopped at a light, when I spied Brighter Optical and its spacious, free parking lot. I'd never heard of the shop, but thought why not, I might as well give it a shot. I was warmly greeted by owner Raymond Yu himself. I immediately felt comfortable in his small but well-stocked shop. Then I was immersed in a lengthy consultation with someone who had unlimited patience for my long list of questions, who spoke in soothing tones that put me even more at ease. It was so much better talking to an owner with a lifetime of experience and the ability to negotiate multiple purchases than an hourly employee with no real stake in the outcome. Not only did Raymond know everything there was to know about frames and lenses, he knew how to break it all down into easily digestible concepts that I could grasp even though English is just one of the languages he speaks fluently. Better yet, he filtered all that knowledge into personalized recommendations which rang so true I had no qualms about pulling the trigger on the sale. When the dust settled, Brighter Optical had a customer for life, while I came away with four pairs of flattering glasses for every purpose that exceeded the most fervent hope I had for my budget--and a new friend.
