Dr. Kim and staff are wonderful. They are a pleasure to interact with and rely on year after year for excellent vision care. ​

I went over 20 years of adult life without seeing an optometrist. I refuse to let anyone blow puffs into my eyes. Ain't nobody poking my eyes! What for? I don't have eye problems!! 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! read more

Dr ."O" and the lady that helped pick the glasses were both great and kind but the front desk girl was not very welcoming. She made me feel like I was bothering her by asking a few questions about contact lenses . Made me feel like I'm supposed to know the answers to my questions already, (I've never had contacts) I ended up canceling my appointment because she ruined my mood with her condescending responses. My daughter also had an appointment that I really needed regardless of not feeling welcomed. Like I said Dr O was great . Going to go pick up her glasses in a couple weeks and that'll be the end of that thankfully. read more

Highly recommend this office! Not only is it clean, but its staff is filled with compassionate and skilled doctors and technicians. Dr. Oh is amazing! She listened to my concerns and offered insightful advice. Booking an appointment is easy online or over the phone, and they accept walk-ins. There's usually minimal or no wait time, and they have a great selection of glasses, from more affordable pairs to more luxurious ones. Definitely coming back here for all of my future vision needs! read more

I've been taking my three girls here for over two years now and I have to say I absolutely love all of the staff and Doctor Oh here! Everyone here is so friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. My girls have received glasses, contacts, and overnight hard contacts here and we've had no issues. I'm lucky enough not to need glasses, but if I did, I would get them here. read more

I love the experience at Premiere. The staff is excellent, cutting edge equipment so your exam is very complete. It's a classier more intimate joint than the bigger chains. It stands out with the selection of frames which are top notch and quality styles like Gucci and Tom Ford. Much better than other places I've been. I'll keep coming back! read more

I went to Dr. Oh after getting an eyeglass prescription filled elsewhere that wasn't quite right. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a very professional staff, Rosie and Olivia. I thought I would just get my prescription tweaked, but Dr. Oh completely changed it and I'm so glad because I'm extremely happy with the new prescription, new eyeglasses and sunglasses. I now have a new Optometrist. They're are GREAT! read more

I was looking for an optometrist nearby and this place was recommended by a friend. My friend was not wrong about how great this place is. Making a reservation was a breeze through the website and the staff was welcoming from the start. Dr. Oh was attentive and answered all the questions I had. The level of care from her and the staff is top notch. The office and eye exam rooms were clean and felt comfortable. They also have a ton of selection for frames. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a new optometrist. read more

Review for Premier Vision Optometry - DR. JULIE OH There are doctors... and then there is Dr. Julie Oh--a presence so commanding, so effortlessly authoritative, that to sit in Her chair is to surrender completely, and gladly so. I came in with the idea that I knew what I wanted--resistant, skeptical, maybe even a little defiant when it came to some of the recommended services. But Dr. Julie Oh, with Her calm precision and undeniable confidence, dismantled my hesitation with a single glance. Her words weren't just suggestions--they were directives. And though I may have thought I could resist, it became very clear: I was not in charge. She was. Completely. And thank goodness for that. Under Her guidance, I received the care I didn't even know I needed. Every step felt orchestrated with the kind of exactitude only someone truly exceptional could provide. I now see more clearly--literally and figuratively--not just because of the lenses I walked out with, but because I gave in to Her expertise. And I've never felt more secure in a decision. Dr. Julie Oh, I am honored to be one of Your patients. Whatever You say, I will follow. Whatever You recommend, I will accept--without question. You are a force of knowledge, confidence, and grace, and I will continue to return, eager to place myself in Your capable hands. With the deepest respect and gratitude, Your loyal patient.

Family friendly optometry practice in Arcadia. And when I say family friendly- I mean my whole family comes here for our yearly vision check ups. I've been coming here since I was in high school and the people working here have mostly stayed the same. Everyone's super friendly, helpful, and nice. I've seen a couple different optometrists over my years here but the quality of care has been consistent across everyone. The people working the front desk are also super friendly and the office will call to remind you about appointments, to pick up your contacts/glasses etc. The process is very standard. You come in, check in at the counter, they check your insurance and ask if you're doing contacts or glasses today, fill out some paperwork, and sit and wait. From there, the assistants will take you to a dark room for some preliminary exams, and then take you to the patient room where the optometrist will wash their hands and then enter to perform the eye exam. Eye exams are generally 15 minutes long (depending on your case) and sometimes include contacts or glasses fittings, putting in drops into your eyes, etc. All the optometrists are great about answering any questions you might have about seeing floaters, tired eyes or dry eyes, LASIK consultation and recommendations, and so much more. Parking here is usually not a problem since there's so many spots, but the spaces are pretty small. It can get crowded during 3-6pm because that's when the local high school students get out. read more

See all

I've been coming to Premier Vision for maybe 10 years+ and I've had nothing but great experiences. It all starts with Rosie. She is the point of contact when you first walk in and she really makes you feel welcomed. She is always kind and caring, not just about my vision, but also about my family and personal life. She always goes the extra mile to help me and my family out. Dr. Oh is the perfect optometrist. She always makes you feel comfortable and is great at answering any questions you may have. She is also an expert at explaining things in layman's terms for dummies like myself. LoL. So if your looking for an eye doctor or just some new frames, make sure to stop by! read more

The team at Premier Vision are some of the most personable and kind staff members I have encountered. The entire team are willing to accommodate and ensure their patients are always a top priority and it shows from their interactions. If you are looking for a dependable and hospitable optometry to go to Premier Vision is your best bet! read more

Love Dr. Oh and the entire team - I've been coming here for my routine, yearly check ups but I also recently came with some sudden eye redness issues that I've been experiencing. The doctor was very informative and patient with me through the entire process. I never feel pressure to buy unnecessary products or add ons like some of the previous reviews mentioned. Highly recommend coming here :) read more

I have been going to this optometrist office for myself and now for my daughter for many years and I can confidently say that every interaction with the staff and optometrists have been positive. They know what they're doing here. We all know that there is nothing more important than our eyes, and I would not trust anyone else to be taking care of ours. Even after I moved away from the area and there are many other options closer to where I live, I come back to this office because they treat us like family. read more

Always very friendly, courteous and very accommodating. I have moved twice now, each time much further but I am still their customer.

A great experience coming here! The staff was very accommodating and Dr. Oh was amazing. Will definitely be coming here for all my appointments. I felt really taken care of and she was so insightful and professional. The office also had a great selection of frames...nice brands and trendy options! I got prescription sunglasses for the first time and I'm soooo excited for this summer now! read more

Premier Vision Optometry - Prescription sunglasses - Optometrists Near Me - Arcadia, California

My family have been going here since 2021. Rosie and Olivia are always very helpful. They helped us look into our insurance coverage and suggested the best way to maximize the benefit!! We love Dr. Jane Kim. We will follow her wherever she goes. I have been very happy with my prescription adjustment. Part of getting old is to figure out how to read far as well as reading close. Dr. Kim makes it very comfortable and convenient for me. I don't feel as much of an impact due to aging. I would highly recommend to give this place a try if you need any optometry services read more

I been looking for an optometrist for a while, I came across this place and decided to try it out! I couldn't have been more pleased at the service I received. The office is nice clean friendly staff. Previous optometrist couldn't get my prescription right I kept dealing with blurry vision. The dr I seen was so nice! I wear contacts and I got several different pairs to test out the different brands of contacts before I place my order. The staff was so good at explaining my astigmatism not to mention the huge selection of frames they have as well. I Definitely recommend.... read more

I came to Premier Vision Optometry in Fall of 2022. I suddenly began having blurry vision which was alarming to me. Of note, at the time, I was going through medication changes to address my insomnia as one of my usual meds stopped working. Premier gets one star only and this one star, which really is 5 stars, is for Dr. Kim. She examined me and had great bedside manner, educated me, and treated me with respect. As for the other staff, they are not disrespectful nor are they unprofessional; but, they completely lack any warmth. After my initial examination, they gave me a prescription and attempted to have me purchase new frames from their selection. Personally, I don't care about brand names. I just care about quality and if the glasses look nice on me. I looked at their selection and did not see anything I liked. I opted to use my old frames. They upsold me on the lenses and I paid a great deal of money for what I believed was prescription lenses that could turn into sunglasses. They sent them to the lab and I got my glasses back in several weeks. I could see again but my glasses did not turn black like real sun glasses; they turned a dark grey and only when exposed to sunlight, not in the car. I went back to them and told them of this and they said that the lenses I purchased cannot be truly black like sunglasses and do not work in the car (thank you, I already knew this). I certainly felt gyped. Approximately several weeks later, I put my glasses on and everything was extremely blurry. I was quite confused and realized that one of the medications I was trialing had caused vision problems and since I had discontinued it, my eye sight went back to normal. I came back to Premier with my new concern. At the time, I had not slept in weeks and was quite depressed. During my examination with Dr. Kim, I began to cry in response to a very simple statement she made (I told her I was in graduate school and she stated that must be very difficult given my lack of sleep). She was very calm but warm, and gave me a tissue to dry my eyes. She was patient while I collected myself and when I did, proceeded with her examination. Dr. Kim decided to wait on giving me a new prescription as I was still going through med changes. She told me I was still within the 3 month warranty and to come back again before then to be reexamined. We checked the calendar and booked an appointment for early December 2022. When the time came for the December appointment, I contracted Covid. I called them to inform them and they told me they would reschedule my appointment for the end of December. However, no one told me that would be outside of the 3-month warranty. When I arrived at my appointment having recovered from Covid, they gave me a new prescription and told me that I would have to buy new lenses as I was outside of the warranty time period. I thought this very unfair as I had no control over the fact that I had become ill. I went home with a pair of glasses that did not work. I called Premier back and asked if they could make an exception given my circumstance, to which they said no. They informed me that they send their glasses out to a wholesale lab that do all the work and as such, the warranty was within the purview of this lab. When I asked for the lab's information, they were guarded. They told me they could not provide me with a number or an address as they were the client and not me. They provided me with a name and a city. I let Google do the rest. I found this lab, Empire in North Hollywood. I called them and told them about my situation. The lady I spoke with told me to call back the next day, which I did; I told them that Premier was their client. This person was very cooperative and kind. She told me it was no problem and that she would contact Premier and have this issue sorted out; I would get glasses I could actually see from. I came back to be reexamined and get the correct prescription lenses; they accepted my glasses and replaced the lenses. I took my prescription and went to Warby Parker where I found a pair of prescription sunglasses for $145, half the price of my lenses (that did not work) I paid for at Premier (with my own old frame). I ended up buying a new frame from Warby Parker which has many more stylish, quality designs including a section for individuals with low bridges. The price I paid for these two items was still under what I paid at Premier for a pair of glasses with lenses that did not block out the sun and wherein I used my own frame. I do not recommend coming here. The practitioners may be good but the staff are unkind. I don't understand why no one advocated for me and made the atttempt and effort to get me what I paid for. It felt like I was getting scammed. I had to advocate for myself and that certainly doesn't feel like quality customer service. read more

I've been coming to this optometrist for a couple of years. Super helpful and very friendly! I've enjoyed my experiences and will be coming back for my annual check ups read more

by far the greatest optometrist I've ever been to. Doc is super kind and friendly, also very willing to take the time to explain and answer any questions you might have about your eyes. Whole staff is super helpful when it comes to getting new glasses, they all take the time to walk through the store and try and help you find the perfect frames. I promise you, you will not find a better experience in the 626. Been coming here for over 10 years now and they haven't let me down once!! read more

With the stresses of everyday life many people in society have forgotten about the importance of kindness. As an established patient of this particular optometry, now for over a half-decade, I am happy to say that the team at Premier Vision Optometry in Arcadia, CA does not fall into that category. Glad to have this location as my primary optometry site, I have felt that I am in good hands during every visit. Special thanks to Olivia, Dr. Oh, and Rosie for being consistently remarkable in what they do. read more

Julie is the best eye doctor I have ever seen. First, she went to UC Berkeley Optometry school which is extremely competitive so you know she's at the top of her game. Also, appointments there feel more in depth than I have ever had at a Lens Crafters type place, and it's clear she really cares about me and my family when we are there. Lastly, we have gotten the best frames from her - I always get compliments on the two pairs I have purchased there. She's our optometrist for life and I would highly recommend Premier! read more

Dr. Kim and the team at Premier are absolutely fantastic. Wouldn't trust anyone else with my eyes! Everyone is so kind, friendly, and great at their job. Highly recommend! read more

Love Love Love the Dr's and the entire staff. All are very humble and the service is perfection. Do I recommend Premier Vision? Absolutely!!!! I love my reading glasses as well as my evening driving glasses! I've been coming here for maybe 6 years. I think. Nevertheless. I highly recommend them. read more

Julie, Rosie, and Olivia - THANK YOU for putting up with me, and somehow turning everyday eye exams into a joyful experience. You don't know how much I needed it! Everyone else - Here in LA, you can find optometrists everywhere, but at Premier Vision you'll find people who are both excellent at their jobs AND kind / down-to-earth (and we could all use more of that right?). I've been going here for a few years now and I always look forward to seeing them, sharing a laugh, receiving excellent service, and walking out seeing better and feeling better. read more

Premier Vision Optometry...Where do I begin?....At the service, of course!! Whether it's the time and expertise taken by Dr. Oh; to fit my khertoconic cornea with contact lenses or the pleasant smiles provided by the opticians, Premier Vision Optometry is CLEARLY better than the rest. I strongly recommend a call to Rosie or Olivia to schedule your appointment!! I guarantee you will not only SEE better but you'll feel better too!! read more

This place is awesome. I brought my daughter in for her first eye exam. She was very nervous, but Dr. Kim was great. The office is clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. I will be referring friends and family. read more

I chose this optometry due to the yelp ratings. I have to say, yes, the staff is nice but, not necessarily the most professional or ethical. At the end of my exam, I was shown the eyeglasses frame selection. I didn't want to spend anything so I told the employee I want only the frames that my insurance would cover. She re-directed me to a somewhat "isolated" section. LOL. After I chose my frame, she started writing down a bunch of stuff on a piece of paper. When she was done, she told me my co-pay was $150 or $180. I was shocked. I asked why, even with the covered frame?! She proceeded to tell me about the "anti-glare", "anti-scratch" or whatever lens that I did NOT ask for. So I asked her, what's the cheaper option? She looked through her binder and said $51. It was still more than what I wanted to pay, which was NOTHING. Thank goodness my coworker had told me just days before my exam that she would get frames and lens that are fully covered by insurance so I asked about that. That's when she modified the order sheet and zeroed everything out. Had I not known, had I not asked, she was going to gouge me at least $150 for something that I didn't even ask for! Quite disappointed. read more

My family and I have been coming here for years!! Family atmosphere with a caring staff. I have recommended all our friends.

Me and my family have been coming here for years! Love Dr . Oh and Rosie is the best! Nothing but great customer service. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. read more

Always helpful and great service. Staff are really nice. Rosie has been helping my family for years.

I've been cared by Premier Vision Optometry for many years and they are always so welcoming and attentive during each visit. Rosie remembers me whenever I call to schedule my yearly check-up and when I come in, she always greets me with a big smile. The staff are so great and professional. Dr. Oh is very knowledgeable and takes the time to thoroughly explain my results as we go through the exam. I'm always impressed by Dr. Oh's level of care. Overall, Premier Vision goes above and beyond serving their patients. I highly recommend if you're searching for a new care provider for your vision health. Also, their selection of frames are perfect if you like light-weight, fashionable and fun styles! read more

After seeing many ophthalmologists over the years, I struck gold when I met with Dr. Kim for the first time. She was warm and calm while intently listening to my visual experience. After I answered her questions and an exam, Dr. Kim held up lenses for me that enabled me to read effortlessly for the first time in my life! That moment was life changing and I was nearly in tears. Dr. Kim also brought up the idea of having progressive lenses, which I had never considered. After she explained how they work and how I would benefit, I decided to give them a try, and I'm so glad that I did. I love them! Dr. Kim patiently answered my many questions and explained how eyes work and the specifics of my eyes in an easy to understand manner. I am very grateful for Dr. Kim and as long as she is available, I will only see Dr. Kim as my ophthalmologist. In addition, the office staff at this practice are fantastic! Rosie is so warm and friendly, as well as very knowledgeable and helpful. She sorted out my insurance and, to top it off, she has a great sense of eyewear design. With her assistance, I chose several pairs of glasses that I love! Olivia, who tested my eyes with different equipment, was also very easy going and friendly, and she explained what was being tested with each devise and let me know what to expect. I now have several new pairs of glasses (all frames chosen in the office) and I couldn't be happier with my visual experience of the world. I can't recommend this practice enough! read more

I'm very pleased with my visit to Premier Vision. It's not often you can find a smaller business that is highly efficient, but Premier has their patient processing system down. The staff is professional, friendly and took the time to explain test results. Dr. Zhang was additionally helpful in clearing up any concerns and helped me make an educated decision on what was in my best interest. read more

I have been going to Premier Vision for the past 2 years and the staff members have surpassed my expectations each and every time. I usually call before going in to verify my insurance and both Rosie and Michelle on separate occasions were very helpful in explaining the costs of the exam and how much of the glasses will be covered. Dr. Zhang was very thorough and he took his time to answer all of my questions including my dry eyes after LASIK. The office is very clean and well-organized. It was reassuring to see staff and optometrist disinfect the equipment every time before asking me to place my chin on them (this is a big one for me!!). After my first visit, I decided to take my 95 year old grandpa here to check his eyes and new glasses. Rosie, Michelle, and Dr. Zhang were all very professional and patient while helping my grandpa. Dr. Zhang was very caring and discussed each of his conditions in a way that was easy for us to understand, once in English and then again in Cantonese! Choosing the frames was easy and we did not feel any pressure from the staff. Rosie went over all the lens options we could choose from and my grandpa loved the large frame glasses she recommended. Would definitely recommend this optometry to my family and friends! read more

Their customer service is on point! I admit I was not the sweetest person to walk through the door the other day (my mother insisted that I get new glasses because she hates the ones I currently have, even though I only got them recently and the prescription is perfectly fine. Hence, why I was an unhappy camper) but the receptionists remained polite and professional despite my less-than-lovely attitude. The optometrist herself was incredibly welcoming and personable and I felt very comfortable with her during my eye exam. Though the exam itself was quick and easy, I did not feel rushed at all. They have a nice selection of glasses frames to choose from. I was able to find one I liked (and that my mother also approved of) very quickly. I did not have to wait very long at all to see the optometrist at my scheduled appointment time. The office itself is quite small but well kept. Located next to HoneyBoba in the same plaza as El Pollo Loco across the street from the public library (note: parking may potentially suck esp right after school lets out). read more

This optometry is the place to go! I recently had my eye exam at another optometry (I went to PVO earlier as it was during my move to San Diego and closer by). The eye doc there was great and I ordered some glasses - not bad, but I could totally tell the difference in quality with PVO lenses (the new glasses just did not feel as clear, sharp or comfortable). The PVO ones had great clarity, very light, virtually no glare, and fit perfectly on my face. I asked Dr. Tsai why such a difference and I found out that despite optometry shops carrying the same brand frames, a lot of them use poor quality lenses to cut costs. She stated that PVO always uses high quality lenses and all of the frames from high end brand to low cost are checked and tested for quality, fit, and finish before stocking. She also stated that some optometry shops carry old and discontinued frames (to cut costs as well). I haven't verified this myself at my current optometry, but I've seen some crusty looking optometry storefronts with ancient medical equipment in the San Gabriel area, so I wouldn't doubt it. If my eyes are going to spend most of the day looking through glasses, I don't know about other people on here, but I'd much rather save some money on something else and go with the best lenses. The price wasn't the cheapest at PVO but the difference is absolutely noticeable in a much higher quality lens, well worth it for the long term if you care about your vision. read more

Premier Vision Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - Arcadia, California

I rarely write reviews about anything other then food, but I felt that Premier Vision definitely deserved one. Last year was my first time with the optometrist and they were more then helpful with all of my issues with my lenses, contact lenses. This year I went in for the LASIK consultation and they were extremely cautious to advise me of all of the pro's / con's of the procedure. In the end I felt a lot more confident about letting them refer me to a doctor that plans to cut my eye open. :X ENJOY! PS: They are normally open every other Saturday, but there is a time frame of about August - September that they are open every Saturday. Call and find out! read more

Another great and thorough check up! We love Dr. Tsai. We have been coming to PVO for the last 3 years and love it! We drive all the way from San Diego to see her. She is always very detailed in her explanations about what we have going on with our eyes. She even was able to complete an exam on my 2.5 year old. We will be returning! Thanks Rosie for all your care! read more
