    My new frame Kuboraum frames from Germany!
    Brian M.

    What can I say about second street Optique but just how wonderfully unique this place is!!! Mark is amazing to say the least. He has incredible selection of glasses and he is so dang accommodating! I got there just as they were closing and he literally stayed a little longer to help me find the perfect frames! This is my second time buying from this uniquely Long Beach shop and I love them so much! I found a pair and he showed me a version that was being discontinued and I got a great value for these frames! Thanks again Mark! I will be back!

    Tom Ford frames.  Loved them so much I ended up purchasing them in black as well.

    This was long overdue. I hardly ever leave reviews as I find that most places while satisfactory have never exactly exceeded my expectations when it comes to service and delivery. Until now. I first stumbled upon this place around 3 years ago while visiting Long Beach. As a long time near-sighted bespectacled nerd, I began transitioning out of the dreaded Costco, Kaiser optician appointments to move onto seeking more stylish and complimentary styles. I've visited many eyewear boutiques and opticians only to walk out disappointed and irked that no one seemed to give a damn about offering advice or insight on frames that would perfectly frame my Asian features and face shape. At Second Street Optique, Marc has always taken the time and patience to carefully assess how each handpicked frame is properly suited to enhance one's features and has always provided a solid honest opinion; Never inflicting pressure or upsell. He even pointed out my 2nd Second Street Optique frames which were Tom Fords on a 50% special seasonal sale. Remember Ollivander the wandmaker beelining from shelf to shelf, combing through and discarding each wand that was the faintest off or mismatched to ensure Harry Potter got THAT ONE TRUE wand to surpass all others? ...Yeah, thats Marc except with your specs. The review below in 2018 is absolute absurdity--- He's extremely kind, personable and knowledgeable especially compared to my other experiences elsewhere. In fact, I live in Sacramento and make a personal trek annually to Long Beach with the primary intention of seeking new frames and Marc's expertise whom I only trust. My latest trip for frames had me dragging my partner along with me who is a glasses wearer as well. Marc even took the time to pick out options for him that were functional, sensible, but stylish and appropriate for his line of work. So apart from the services that have far exceeded my expectations, as a glasses wearer the most obvious point of anxiety comes the question if your brand new spanking pair of glasses really elevates your entire look effectively. I should point out that I work in the healthcare industry with little room to show any quirks or personal style apart from things like glasses. EVERY PAIR Marc has assisted with picking out for me... has been complimented. I was even in the lab the other day and was stopped by a random lab personnel who paused and exclaimed: "I. love. your. glasses." and walked off. Yep. Please don't waste senseless time perusing Warby Parker like I did. If you want stylish advice and an amazing pair of spectacles, go here!

    oh my oh my... Marc you really outdid yourself. I went in with little expectations on having my vintage 'art craft' sunglass lens replaced. He not only recommended a beautiful G15 lens to replace with but he also adjusted the frames to fit my face. Extremely reasonable pricing, and generous. He did a beautiful job with prudence and his excitement over the glasses was the cherry on top. He's a samurai in the realm of all things eye wear. GO TO HIM!

    Beautiful shades! So happy

    See all

    I gave this optometry small business a couple of chances. First off, the eye exam with Dr. Jang was…read morefine. My prescription for both glasses and contact lenses are clear, and the Optometrist was professional and patient. No problems. However, when it comes to actually getting glasses, I was less than satisfied with the service and quality. I purchased a pair of sunglasses (frame and lenses) from Vision Designs Optometry and found the lenses to be extremely poor quality compared to lenses made with the same prescription from another business. I paid a fee for hi-index lenses because of the magnitude of my prescription, and expected the lenses be thinner and lighter. It was the complete opposite. Additionally, the lenses made me dizzy even after wearing them for a couple of weeks. I brought this up with Sylvia, the optician, and was met with a dismissive attitude. When I asked if she could check if I indeed received the hi-index lenses, her response was, even before looking, "You did because I entered the order." Sylvia started blaming the thickness of the lenses on the large frame, which I confirmed with 3 other opticians that it made not sense. She then agreed to re-make the lenses and shave off some of the thickness. One week later, I got a call that my new lenses were ready (note the first order took about 2 weeks). When I tried on the new lenses, I did not see a difference in the thickness of the lenses, but rather noticed that all they did was mount the lenses forward in the frame. When I tried them on in the store, it was fine. However, after wearing them for about 20-30 minutes, I become dizzy again. I have completely given up on the pair and they are now just sitting in my drawer because I cannot wear them without feeling dizzy. I even question if the lenses were even re-made or if I just got the same lenses back. I really wanted to support this small business as it is in my community. However, between the poor customer service and quality I will be looking for a new optometry business when it is time for me to renew my prescription and get new glasses.

    This place deserves nothing but a stellar review, and I will try best to do some justice to it…read more We were seen by Dr. Katie Jang. She is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, patient and very helpful. She explained everything in detail, right from the eye examination to choosing the right glasses. We felt confident. Her team is very polite, competent and cheerful. They do their best to help patients out with every little thing. Making appointments was so easy. Everyone was so very patient with a little toddler running around and wanting to explore their place, they were not even slightly disturbed or frustrated, and we loved that too. We felt very welcomed at their office. So very glad to have discovered this gem of a place in Long Beach. And the best part is that they are open 7 days a week!
