I can't say enough positive things about my experience at Redondo Optometry with Dr. Sarah Frassato and her wonderful staff, Marisol and Hikari! From the moment I walked in, they were very friendly and helpful. Marisol and Hikari are very nice and make selecting glasses frames or getting set up for an exam very easy. Dr. Frassato is a very good optometrist who genuinely cares about her patients. She took the time to listen to my concerns about my hard lenses and recommended switching to soft, daily disposable lenses. The difference has been incredible! Not only are my eyes no longer bothered, but the comfort and clarity of my vision with the new lenses are amazing. I highly recommend Redondo Optometry. Dr. Frassato and her team provide top-notch care in a welcoming and professional environment. read more

The office is nice and a good selection of frames. However, had to have my lens glasses adjusted three times now. There is definitely something wrong with the accuracy of lens orders. Will be going to another specialist to review the lens of both glasses and find out what is wrong. Do not let anyone blame the patient. read more

Been going here for years with great experience but have noticed changes the past 12-18 months in accuracy of orders. The optometrist is excellent though. Easy parking access to store- read more

Dr. Frassato is professional, kind and really knowledgeable. She takes her time and is very thorough during her exam. Additionally her staff is responsive, efficient and also kind. I was impressed when she found an issue with my friend's eye and referred her out. The laser surgery proved to be a simple process but had the doctor not diagnosed it, it could have been serious! I highly recommend Dr. Frassato and her entire staff! read more

They were great in fixing my glasses. Quick turn around and wonderful customer service. 5 stars! read more

Redondo Optometry - Waiting for my glasses to get fixed. - Optometrists Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

They give themselves 2 chances to make your glasses right and you pay for them even if they aren't right. It cost me $400 for glasses I can only read my phone with. Computer monitor or distance is blurry. I should have gotten readers from the 99 cent store. Do yourself a favor and walk a few doors west and see Dr. Williams. They will do whatever it takes to make your glasses right. read more

Dr. Frassato and her team were wonderfully warm and helpful. During a routine eye exam a retinal tear was discovered. Dr Frassato was thorough and helped me get into a retinal specialist immediately. I appreciated the time and care she took with me. I also needed new glasses and her staff was so patient in helping me pick out the right frame and style. I'm happy to have found a local optometrist i can trust. read more

I've been here for years and couldn't be happier. Everyone is friendly, courteous, and intelligent. From the doctor, optician, front staff, you name it! Huge selection of frames, both affordable and luxury. They're always available for a drop in glasses adjustment and have had my back in urgent contact lens needs. I recommend this place to everyone! read more

After so many months delaying the inevitable, I needed more contacts and had to bite the bullet and go out into the real world. Dr. Hokama and her staff were very friendly and conscious with their safety precautions. Appointment times are spread out to minimize the number of people in the office while you're getting checked out in addition to temperature checks at the door and kindly reminding customers to wear face masks. I went in with a friend so I had theopportunity to watch their customer interactions with any walk ins. They greeted every customer with a cheerful hello and eagerly assisted with things ranging from fixing a lens popping out or picking up newly delivered glasses. I appreciated that they intentionally positioned customers to maintain social distancing. As for the appointment itself, Dr. Hokama has a great sense of humor and made me feel very comfortable. The office has all the expected vision technology and everyone was knowledgeable and helpful. This was my first time visiting the office and I'll definitely be returning for my next annual check up. read more

Wouldn't it have been nice if RO treated me with a certain amount of decent customer respect? Well, they didn't. And, my Tiffany glasses that broke, well, they were disinterested in repairing. And, they told me the frames were no longer available. However, when I called the manufacturer, I was told they were available plus one year more warranty than what I was told by RO. Wouldn't it also have been nice for them to learn about my sphere of influence. Insert wink here.... Update: isn't their response telling how they are unwilling to help with correcting my broken TIFFANY glasses. Glad I am now working with a reputable firm in the South Bay. read more

Upon recommendation I went to see Dr. Hokama at Riviera Optometry. It had been a while since my last eye exam, and I have been experiencing eye fatigue, blurred vision, and just getting old. Getting to stare at multiple computer screens for 8+ hours a day is such a strain on the eyes. Throw in my intimate relationship with my iPhone, and that glowing insane box called a TV, and my eyes don't stand a chance...I need glasses. - The exam was pain-free and very thorough. Dr. Hokama was very nice, and explained everything going on. I've really never worn glasses or contacts and having an onset of vision problems is disconcerting. I feel a lot better now knowing that tired eyes are pretty normal at my age (not THAT old btw). - I have a very mild prescription but to make things even better she prescribed progressive lenses to aid night vision and full-field sharpness. - There's plenty of sexy frames to choose from. I was torn between the sporty look, the studious look, or the worldly business man look. - The office is nestled in the Trader Joe's Riviera shopping center. Definitely park across the street as the little retail lot is hard to get in / get out of. - Folks attended to me right away, no wait. Very little paperwork, and they explained all the pricing with my vision plan, etc. I would highly recommend this doctor and location...very, very good experience. ENJOY! read more

I loved the staff (5 Stars) and they are the reason I had been their customer for over seven years! After ten days of waiting, I called to check if my glasses were back. I was told that they were, but after being checked by the staff, they were returned to the lab to correct the focus. After another week (in total it was over 3 weeks) I received a phone call thinking my glasses are back! No! I was informed that the lab broke my frame. They blamed the frame was a bit old!! They were three years old! They were supposed to be good quality...I paid $600 for those frames! After a few talks, and me being their customer for over seven years, and the type who always bought frames at around $600 (whether sun glasses or regular glasses), the Dr. offered me to rebuy a "twin" frame at her cost price, which is $300! Then she reduced my payment to $250. Nice of her. When I realized they didn't have the frame in the store, I didn't want to wait an extra week or so for them to get it from wherever, I thought I could use the $250 towards a frame already in store. So, I picked a frame and the tag price was $225 which will make us even. I didn't asking what their cost price was. I thought that was a good solution for all. I'll move ahead, I'll forget the incident, tolerate having not had my new prescription for over three weeks, and I'll remain their customer. Unfortunately, Dr. H. refused! She asked her staff to charge $180 for a frame that cost $225! Did she forget she offered me a $600 frame for $250?! This does not make sense unless there must be a problem with that "twin" frame she was offering to sell to me! Goodbye. You lost a good customer, Dr. H. I'll take my good self to another business who appreciate long term customers and will refer my friends to the newer place! read more

Went in for my first eye exam in many years. Dr. Hokama and her staff were very professional and pleasant. The office is very clean with a large selection of glasses. The exam was quick and easy. I felt like I was given a thorough exam and treated respectfully. I needed mild reading glasses. Rather than urging me to buy a pair from her, Dr. Hokama suggested that I go buy a pair at the drugstore which would be significantly less expensive. I will definitely return and refer my friends here. read more

Great place to come get an exam and a new pair of glasses. The young lady who welcomed us was extremely friendly and helpful. I asked about some frames and she spent 15 minutes helping me pick out the ones that fit and looked great. Stacy was fantastic she did all the pre exam explained everything how it works and why we where doing it. The doctor was friendly and took the time to go over every question I had and review my picture and tell me what she was looking for and how my diabetes could effect my eyes. I would highly recommend RB optometry to any and all my friends. Just tell them Leonard sent you! read more

This little place is located in the TJ's/Starbucks shopping center in Riviera Village. There is plenty of parking in the town lot across the street. The doctor and staff are great. They're friendly and personable and willing to take every pair of glasses out of every display in the store for picky customers like me (even when they're almost at closing time). Dr. Ong took great care in giving me a thorough exam and was understanding with my distaste for the glaucoma testing machine ( I mean, who really gets it on the first try anyway?). They have an amazing selection of the most trendy and fashionable designer styles I've seen, a lot that were a bit pricey for me but also a lot of affordable styles. I chose a sweet pair with baby blue rims, brown sides and a rectangular shape. Well, honestly, it turned out to be a group decision with the doctor and both staff ( oh , I wish I got their names) assisting me in the frame choosing process. I am going back to pick up my contacts 3-5 days and my glasses 7-10 days post exam. I'll give the update on the fit and the service upon pickup. plus- they accept VSP insurance** ___________________________________ I got all my stuff, and pretty quickly- my exam was on Sat, the contacts were ready on monday and the glasses all ready to pick up by the middle of the week. read more

My husband and I have been clients here for at least 9 years. Dr. Hokama has it all. As does her staff. They are knowledgeable, kind and have state of the art products and equipment. They are the best! read more

Mad props to Dr.Hokama & her wonderful staff for ALWAYS getting it right the first time! My script is tough yet the staff here as well as their lab always get it right! Thank you! read more

I have been coming to Riviera Optometry for more than 15 years. Dr. Sandy Hokama has always done an excellent job ensuring my eyes remain healthy and that I have the right prescription for both contacts and glasses. She has constantly improved the technology used to achieve the best possible results for her patients. Her latest acquisition being a computerized digital camera system to track potential macular degeneration over time. This is of particular value to her more senior patients (like me)... Her practice has expanded over the years and now includes 3 optometrists. Her office staff recently acquired Stacey who was very helpful in selecting the right frames for my next pair of glasses. Important note: Riviera Optometry has by far the best selection of quality frames I have seen in the South Bay. I am very particular about my vision and appreciate the excellent care and service provided by Dr. Hokama and her staff. Thank you. read more

We have been patients of Redondo Optometry for several years and we are extremely happy with the care that we receive from Dr. Hokama and staff. The facilities are state of the art and the comprehensive examinations conducted, ensure that you will receive the most thorough eye exam possible. Dr. Hokama and her entire staff provide excellent, caring and compassionate optometry services that far exceeds the industry standard and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Redondo Optometry for your vision care needs! read more

My husband and I have been coming here for years for glasses, contacts, and sunglasses. The doctor and staff are always wonderful to work with! read more

Riviera Optometry is really great . Everyone is friendly and interested in each patient. Dr. Hokama is so sweet and explains everything she is doing and takes her time with you and doesn't wisk you through like some places. I will definitely be going back to Riviera Optometry! read more

This place is terrible. One optometrist checked my eyes, ordered glasses for me, and they were totally wrong! Couldn't see a thing! She also said that I had a stigmatism (sp.?) in my right eye. I tried the other optometrist at the same office, she said that I had a stigmatism in my left eye. So, which eye is it?!!! I think I ended up paying $150 for glorified reading glasses that I could've gotten at the 99-cent store. Definitely NOT going back! read more

Love Dr. hokama, but just paid $154 for Nothing...my co-pay was $5. Then a picture insurance doesn't cover (the one thing I was warned about) $39.... So I was expecting $45 max....nope $110 to "fit" contacts and then "teach" me to use them...even though I opted not to get any!!! Wasn't warned about that at all!! In fact I've tried colored contacts before I could have passed on that and if I'd known just trying them was $50 I would've passed on that too. I love Dr Hokama but I'm not sure I'll ever go back. Feel totally robbed and scammed....cost co would be more staight forward and I don't have $150 to blow on non-essentials! Ask before you do anything. People are great but your bill could be a total surprise! read more

Redondo Optometry once know as Riviera Optometry. Dr. Sandy T. Hokama Optometrist. I had an appt. today with Dr. Hokama. She always takes such good care & time with her patients. It's important to keep up with having your eyes checked as one ages things seem to change. Dr. Hokama & her staff are so thorough & very helpful at helping me choose a frame that is nice looking. I have been going to Dr. Sandy Hokama for 25+ yrs. They have a large selection of beautiful frames to choose from. I highly recommend visiting Dr. Sandy Hokama in the Redondo Beach Riviera Village! REMEMBER DR. SANDY HOKAMA IS THE DR. THAT IS XLNT AT WHAT SHE DOES! (310)540-6225 read more

I came to Dr Hokama because I had itching and redness in my left eye. I had gotten an eyelash that had abraded my eye and had an infection! Yikes!! Dr Hokama was thorough with the exam and what she prescribed to get the best possible outcome. She is very caring and made sure that I had follow up visits to ensure that the scratch was healing properly. Everything healed well and I was very pleased with the care and attention I received. I would highly recommend Dr Hokama and her office!! read more

Dr. Hokama and her staff are very thorough and personable. You can't say enough about finding a doctor you trust these days. I would strongly recommend Redondo Optometry if you are looking. read more

Riviera Optometry is such a great place. I've been a longtime client of Dr. Hokama, ever since her office used to be in Torrance. She has given me eye exams for about 15 years. She is always very patient and thorough when it comes time for my annual eye exam. I have the utmost confidence in her skills as an optometrist and highly recommend her office. read more

Dr. Hokama was excellent. Very professional, Dr Hokama walked me thru the entire exam never "handing me off" to someone else. She answered all my questions about the changes happening in my vision and I never felt hurried. The entire office was clean, bright, and open. A great location by Trader Joes and open on Saturday. read more

Love redondo optometry. Dr. hokama is beyond nice and we feel like family there. Everyone is wonderful and the office has a very spa like feel to it as opposed to the usual medical office feel of other places. They never try to "sell" you on anything and truly want you to be 100% happy with your purchase. I got glasses and contacts this year and am super picky about my glasses because I have such a high prescription. Once I got the glasses I ended up lowering the prescription for comfort and changing the frame to the same model but just 2mm smaller or something. All was done with a smile. In addition, I've tried all of the dailies contact brands in the past and none were as comfortable as my 2-week contacts but when I saw Dr. Hokama, she was able to find me dailies that worked. I really cannot say enough good things about this place. I have high standards for service and rarely think that a place deserves 5 stars on yelp but I think redondo optometry is one of those rare businesses that really cares about its customers and has great products and service too. Highly recommend dr. Hokama and her staff. read more

The worst optometry service in the area,,, BAIT & SWITCH!!! Avoid this merchant at all costs... after taking our money for our son's eyeglasses, they called back 24 hours later demanding an additional $135.00 because they had a "mixup" on our insurance after their employee, Christina had spoken with our insurance company and after their employee, Marco took our money... the owner, Dr. Sandy Hokama was rude and hung up on me... We had even made a special trip there beforehand to confirm the arrangements... AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! read more

I've been going to Dr. Hokama for over 10 years and she is the most caring and thorough practitioner. Her staff is incredibly professional and so very helpful. I feel like I'm in good hands whenever I am there. Plus, they have the most amazing collection of eye wear! I actually look forward to my check-ups. Now how many people every say that about their doctor!! read more

Hands down, the BEST optometrist and glasses shopping experience I have had to date! I originally went in looking for sunglasses. I was politely asked by the staff if I was just browsing or if I needed assistance. Being the type that prefers to be left alone while I shop, I opted to ask for assistance if I needed it later. I have an unusually small-framed, heart/shaped face with prominent features. It is nearly impossible for me to find sunglasses I like! I found 2 pairs, and the friendly staff there helped me to narrow it down to a pair of Tory Burch ones that I absolutely LOVE! Since there is a way to process sunglasses through insurance (ask them about it!!), I bought them for just $23 out the door plus a free eye exam (covered by my insurance). The staff was ZERO PRESSURE, offered many solutions, and were genuinely fun people! I cane back a week later for my eye exam, but was able to leave day 1 with my sunglasses! I went for my eye exam today and WOW! The optometrist here is amazing! So sweet, and took all the time needed to educate me about my eyes and eye health. I felt there were more advanced exam equipment here than other places I have been in the past, and this made me feel more confident in the resulting prescription I received. In conclusion, I would highly recommend! Excellent selection of sunglasses and regular glasses, superbly friendly staff and doctor, beautifully decorated and modern facility, and right in the heart of Riviera Village. You won't regret stopping in here! :) read more

I had seen quite a few optometrists in my lifetime, but this is the hands down the best service I've ever gotten. Dr. Sandy is an amazing optometrist. She is very smart and explained everything to me. She also has a team of dedicated, attentive, and kind professionals to serve your needs. Upon walking into her office, you will notice a clean and beautiful office that is tastefully decorated. Unlike the other offices I had visited, they have the most up to date equipment, the best selection of eyeglass frames, and they use the latest technology to take care of you. Just to give you an example, I have some issue with my vision, and they scan my eye with the Daytona retinal scanner, which use the lasers and mirror to scan the back of the eye. With this piece of equipment, they can see the whole retina and spot my problem. I was quite impress. If you want the best optometrist in the town, go see Dr. Sandy in the Redondo Optometry. I would highly recommend these folks. read more

I started to see Dr. Sandy Hokama about 4 years and have been VERY happy with my treatment and her services. She was kind enough to help me with an emergency on a Sunday morning when I scratched my eye and was in a lot of pain. Many thanks to a GREAT doctor and wonderful staff. So happy with my experience that I sent my husband in for his first pair of glasses !!!! The new office is beautiful just like the people that work there. Keep up the good work !!!
