(3) Frames all from Utopia over the years and I still wear them all
Michael H.

Your glasses help you see the world, your family, and that jerk swerving into your lane because they're on their damn phone! That means you probably want an optometrist that cares about you and your experience finding your next pair of glasses or contacts. For me, that place is Utopia Optometry. I think I am on year 5 or 6 coming here and it has always been a good experience. Everything from the eye exam to the stress of picking your frames that will define your look. The staff is awesome and take their time making sure you are happy with your choice. Today I picked up a pair of prescription sunglasses. I also took an older pair of frames and put my updated prescription lenses in which was a smooth process for me. Shout out to Gabby for her help today making adjustments to the way the glasses fit on my face. She adjusted (3) pairs for me today and took her time to make sure I was happy with the placement and how the frames curve around my ears. If any place on Yelp deserves 5-stars its this place.

I wear glasses, so it is important for me to be happy with what I am placing on my face. This place has provided so much for me; prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses! Highly recommend. Friendly people too.

I originally went to Linden Optometry in Pasadena for my eye check-up and prescription glasses because they have one of the largest eyewear selections I have seen. I moved out 25 miles east from west Pasadena, so I had to find a new optometrist. I am very thankful I came across this gem through my Yelp search. Not only do they have 5 stars, but they are only a 8 minute drive from my house. Score! We had a wonderful first-time experience here a little over two weeks ago. Everyone from Dr. Liu and the three lovely ladies that work there are awesome! They all provide a great personable experience and they all seem knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you for the positive and delightful experience! This place will now be our go-to optometry place! For those looking for a local optometrist, book them ASAP because they book very quickly since they take a limited amount of patients a day to avoid close contact with other patients. When I booked my appointment, I had to wait over two months. Thanks again Utopia Optometry! :)

So happy I found this Optometry office!! Dr. Liu and staff are fabulous!! Dr. Liu was very thorough with my eye exam. I was very pleased and didn't feel that he was rushed. Answered all my concerns. Sheenna helped me find the right frames that best fit my needs. They have a good selection with lots of great frames to choose from. I highly recommend this office for any optometry needs!

See all

Hello, Do you sell cat eye glasses? Thank you

Overall, the selection of frames is pretty limited but I did see some cat eye styles last week when I was here.

Is there an Ophthalmologist on staff?

That is a good question. I don't think so, but you would have to call them to find out for sure.

Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

They listen to the issue and in my case, rectify it right away and ALWAYS with a smile (thanks Rosie).

I can't remember the other girl that helped us as well but my son had broke his glasses and they went above and beyond to help him and get them fixed and super quick too! Thank you again!

I want to be very clear about what happened here…read more I explicitly told the office that I was planning to purchase Meta (Ray-Ban Meta) smart glasses and that I needed my pupillary distance (PD) to order them. I explained that I was advised to ask for my PD specifically for that reason. I was then told directly that they could not give me my PD because it is "frame-specific." That statement is false for single-vision distance lenses, which is exactly what Meta glasses use. PD is a measurement of the patient, not the frame. Only segment height applies to progressives -- which I was not ordering. After refusing to provide the PD, they then pivoted and suggested that I could buy the Meta glasses and bring them back so they could do the lenses themselves, which made the earlier refusal feel intentional and misleading. If PD were truly "not available," that option wouldn't magically fix the issue. This felt like a deliberate attempt to block me from ordering elsewhere and redirect the purchase back to their office by withholding basic information I'm entitled to. That's not patient-centered care -- it's sales pressure. The exam itself was fine, but the dishonesty afterward completely ruined the experience. I won't be returning, and I'd caution anyone who wants to purchase glasses outside their office to be prepared for resistance.

Meagan helped me fall in love with what I see--because for the first time, I could actually see! I'm serious. I saw Dr. Ishi, who I seriously cannot recommend enough -- she's truly amazing. She helped me figure out that my previous experience at Costco Optical has, in fact, been totally useless and wholly inaccurate--my prescription has been off for like...10 years??? No wonder I can't see at night! Ha ha! Turns out, my bizarre and highly astigmatismed eyeballs happen to be both nearsighted and farsighted on each respective side..and thus require a certain amount of due diligence and attention--all of which I have never experienced at any other optometrist prior to coming to this place. Literally, one side of my contact prescription was off by 1.5 points or whatever they use to measure it--i mean, what?? Should I contact my car insurance to dispute any claim against any minor car accidents that I may or may not have been involved in over the past DECADE since I LITERALLY COULDN'T SEE!!!?? Dr. Ishi is incredible. Megan is a sweetheart who helped me pick glasses that not only fit, but ~*flattered*~ my large and in charge face. Because of this wonderful team, I can FINALLY see for the first time in my life. Can't recommend this place enough! 10/10. Ps; and not to be super creepy or anything...as I still don't know that deep and mysterious voice I heard but I think I'm low key in love. I seriously can't wait to go back!! But next time, I think I'll wear makeup! Although idk maybe i won't bc what if they put drops in my eye and my mascara runs??? Only time will tell...stand by for updates ).

The receptionist Riley, the technician April, the optometrist Dr. Ishii and the optician Megan were all very nice and patient.

The visit was a pleasant experience and I wish I had come here for glasses earlier. I can't wait to have my new pair of glasses from Spectrum Eyecare. I was told it's going to take around 3 weeks. It's the holiday season now so it's understandable that it's taking longer than usual.

Oh my gosh he was screaming Liar, Liar to me at the top of his lungs. So he said he's not fixing them. He was the epitome of Dr Jekyll n Mr. Hyde. You never know people!

I love my LA Readers glasses. Short version: look great, super comfortable and light, well made…read more(spring hinge), lifetime guarantee, great price, great customer service. Long version: I've gone through so many pairs of affordable readers; they always eventually break. I also bought super cool, expensive Italian frames for prescription lenses, and though they look good, they hurt the bridge of my nose and I don't enjoy wearing them. I've bought dramatic, angular cat-eye readers online that also look good, but the arms pinched my skull. So I was pleasantly surprised that the pair I got from LA Readers, the black Calabasas, both look good and are really comfortable. They have a sturdy hinge and yet are also light and comfy; I can barely feel that I'm wearing them. There's more to the story. Though I'd ordered black frames, the pair that arrived were a sort of translucent gray. Since I didn't find an option for gray on their site, I figured they had a *very* flexible concept of what counts as "black." I was thinking of sending them back but decided they were so comfortable I'd keep them, especially since I've tried so many other pairs from various vendors that were all either boring or uncomfortable or both. Plus, LA Readers offers a lifetime guarantee--which is perfect since I'm really good at breaking glasses. So, anyway, I was happy with my decision and then, one day a couple months later, I felt like emailing LA Readers and pointed out that, while I'd kept the gray ones, I'd actually requested the black ones, and wondered if they'd ever have actually black Calabasas frames again. Crystal at LA Readers immediately responded, apologizing for my having received the wrong color. She said it must have been a mix-up with the stock since they don't even sell the gray ones online. She told me she'd send me the black frames I'd originally ordered right away. Basically, she was super apologetic and super friendly. I responded saying that she'd made my day--which was extra exciting since it was also my birthday. Crystal responded saying, Since it's your birthday, I'm also sending you a complimentary hard-shell case. (!) Basically, these people are awesome. Highly, highly recommended.

When I forgot my glasses at work (over the weekend), I visited the local pharmacy and was introduced to "Readers"... I could see just as well with these over-the-counter glasses, and at a far reduced cost. When I was introduced to the offerings of LA Readers, I discovered stylish designs that cost far less (80%) than prescription glasses, and were something that I could order from home - no appointments - no traveling/waiting in the office - and I could choose a style/color that suited me. I don't believe that I will ever go back to prescription glasses... thank you, LA Readers, for making my life simple!
