I liked Dr. Bob. I left my exam feeling like my very specific work concerns were addressed by him…read moreproperly. But it was after leaving the exam room and wondering over to the in-house optician (Eastwood) to possibly select a pair of glasses that things appeared to go south. I was immediately confronted with "age-ism" (at 54?) and the assumption that Dr. Bob had gone 'light' on my prescription because I was over 50 and D.A. Eastwood believed I needed something stronger. He hadn't examined me... it didn't make sense. A couple quotes on different frames and lenses were provided (all outside my current budget), so I took a card and excused myself. Prescription in hand I decided to visit Costco (meh) and then onto the internet. I soon discovered that I was missing my 'PD' (pupillary distance) on the prescription and called back to Associated Eye Specialists. They told me that they didn't have the PD, but continued and said that when I was having the glasses made, to have that vendor call the doc for the PD number?!? So which is it? Yes. I know they have my PD, but no, they've refused to provide it to me. So no; even after filling out paperwork, waiting 30 min for my appointment, eye drops, exam, getting a prescription, I still can't order any glasses. Apparently this a common practice. Completely unacceptable.

Update to reply below by Carla from the business:…read more This is the main number for the business you provided, which is not helpful. There is not a contact persons name to speak with directly. I do not feel comfortable. calling the main office line anymore and encountering the office manager again after she has twice offered such disparaging treatment towards me. If you provide a specific owners name and a direct phone line and time to call or specifically directed email, then I will reach out to discuss further. Otherwise I am afraid I will just be going through the same scenario again with the front office/Manager calling this main phone line. I am traumatized from the treatment I've received from speaking with her. ---------- Original review: I give one star for the 2 horrible experiences I have had with front office, and most specifically the office manager. I believe her name is Liz. After being a patient for sometime, I had to leave this office, even though I liked the doctor and eye tech, due to very disparaging and unacceptable treatment. I've written an official letter to the doctor to inform him of what has happened. I don't know if office manager screens his mail. I pray he sees it so they can make improvements based on my experiences. I would hate for anyone to go through what I have gone through. - if I hear from the doctor/office and anything changes I will update my review until then I cannot and would not recommend this office.

Great customer service, knowledgeable. We tried different contact lenses until the third pair was tried, and that was the best one. Very patient and not rushing the exam, answered questions I had. And he gave me prescriptions for both eyeglasses and contacts, without me having to ask or him pushing me to buy glasses there. Will definitely use this as my future exam place!!

I have been to this office for 2 visits. My first visit was for an eye exam with Dr. Kristina Dea…read more I came in and a technician did the vision pressure and light testing with me. Dr. Dea did a thorough exam to get me set up with my first pair of glasses ever. She explained things well. I then went over to the glasses section to pick out a pair of frames and had my measurements taken and the technician also let me try on glasses outside to see what they look like in the daylight. I returned 2 weeks later to have my eyes dilated for the rest of the exam as I was not able to have them dilated at my first visit. I had my 2nd exam with Dr. Rebekah Klein. She was great too! It was in this visit that my glasses were ready for pick up. I got progressive glasses because I have some vision loss for distance and it's been really hard to read on my phone. So they are pretty much worn only for driving and when in my phone. I feel I am still getting used to the glasses when driving. I also want to comment that the front desk staff have been nice and have returned my calls quickly when I have had to contact the office.

I like this place. I get my yearly eye exam here…read more A few years ago, on my first visit, I was randomly assigned Dr. Klein. I've been very happy with her care. She is very thorough and explains things well. I'm also very impressed with the staff at Ventura Optometric Vision Care. The workers at the front desk are unfailingly courteous and efficient. Let me give you an example of how efficient this place is. When your glasses are ready, the office sends you a notification. Contrary to what you might expect, you don't need to schedule an appointment to pick them up. You can just drop by anytime and they will have someone available to take care of any adjustments needed to ensure a comfortable fit. So convenient! The location, on Victoria is also very convenient. As is the private parking lot. The waiting room is spacious and reasonably comfortable. There are magazines for people without phones. There is also a children's play area. Oh, and they have a pretty huge selection of frames here too. Frames for days. So many frames. I mean really a lot. Maybe like a thousand. I'm not kidding. Maybe more.
