Venice Optical

You’ve come to the right place. Don’t go searching for other places!!! I’ve been coming to Jane since she was at the store in front of El Camino College, and she’s just great. Other reviews say the same thing, but I thought I would take a part in it too!
Price: eye exam is $ 30 at the optometry next door. She gives amazing discounts when you purchase the frame and lens together. Whenever I bring friends over, she gives them for a price better than all the other places. We tried calling and asking all optometrists in Torrance. All my friends (and even my mom) are huge fans of this place and they all love it!
Service: You can just feel the welcoming vibe the moment you enter the door. Being the most indecisive person in the city of Torrance, I used to take hours (literally 2 hrs) choosing a pair of glasses. Jane patiently took out every pair of glasses and gave me feedbacks on each one of them. Not only that, when I got my first pair of contact lenses I did NOT know how to put them in my eyes. Like it did not go in. But Jane again helped me step by step in how to put it in.
Quality: one of the frameless glasses that I got many years ago was like rock-​proof. I would hold it by the side and bang it on the table, and it would not break haha I had to upgrade to a prettier frame so I don’t use that glasses anymore, but it’s still unbreakable.
Hands down guaranteed the best price, best service, and best quality!

Whenever I come from a place that I like, I make it to a point to write them a review so I can spread the news, hence my Unilocal reviews .
I don’t live jn the area but since I was in the neighborhood I decided to check them out because of a friend’s recommendation and boy am I glad I did!
Jane and her staff are very friendly and very customer service oriented, they are very efficient & swift! I was in and out for my eye check up.
I also love that they have a variety of glasses and sunnies to choose from!
They’re selection are so good I ended up getting 3 sunglasses! Waaahhh! I know I know! I love all of them and since their shop is a drive for me, I just got ‘em!
I highly recommend this place! Come check them out! Forget about Lens Crafters! This is my new go to place even if they are a drive for me!

Zero stars. If I could. This was my eye doctor but now I changed. I’m traveling to another country today. I had ONE last pair of contact lenses that I had saved up for this occasion and my left one tore in my eye. I called them to see if they could SELL ME (not give me) just ONE pair of contact lenses. I did not have time to walk in there and wait until they took my eye exam and such, anyways they already had me on record and knew my prescription. The man on the phone even laughed when I asked him for one pair. I spoke to him in a polite way asking him if he could please SELL ME one pair since it was an emergency. And he refused. He said he can only sell me the pair after I take my eye exam but my eye exam isn’t even due yet! And then he tells me that he doesn’t have an extra pair to sell me. What a lying fuck.
That’s the worst customer service I have received. I will not be coming back nor I will recommend any friends or family to come here. I am so disappointed.

Soo thankful for this place. Can’t really find anything bad to say. All great things! They’re friendly, efficient, sweet, generous, organized, clean… Very accommodating! For my graduation my left eye contact lens are acting up and I was freaking out because I am giving a speech! How do you give a speech blindly!?? So I called them hoping to purchase an emergency one and they gave me 2 sets for free! Seriously saved my butt. And they do this all the time. They give you a lot for what you pay, which I’m sure is appreciated by all customers. They take care of me so well and I’m sure they do the same for all!

Randomly saw this store as I was driving by and after seeing the great reviews, made a stop the same day. My mom needed reading glasses and upon entering the store, we were cheerfully greeted with two of the staff at the store. The young lady who helped us (I didn’t catch her name) was very helpful and quick to offer suggestions when we told her what we were looking for. She was also great with feedback after trying on the different frames. The process was so easy and we were out of there within 20 mins. The glasses we got will be ready in two days but they said usually it is even quicker than that. We were impressed with the staff and the selection of this store. Glad we gave this place a try.

Jane the optometrist and Paul the sales rep are awesome. Great service no up sell.
They have a huge selection of glasses brand names like toms and also no name brands. They have good prices. I got two prescription glasses and frames so I got a nice deal.
BEST PART– 24hr turn around! Yes you get your glasses next day!!! Hooray!
It’s tucked in a corner kind of hard to find but when you do you’ll be pleased.
I think that’s cray!

I have known the owner for over 20 years. They give you good service and price for top line of eye glasses. I recommend this store to my friends.

This place is great. They are very attentive and friendly and get glasses/​contacts done at reasonable pricing.

¡impressed with the super fast turnaround service, my p-​glasses were ready n dos dia ;)

I needed to visit Venice Optical ASAP because I’m moving and needed some new light-​weight frames. On my last visit earlier this year I purchased 2 frames similar in size & weight– which are still great, but need a lighter option on especially hot days (who wants nose-​sweat?).
Walked in, immediately greeted by name and saw a couple new faces. Jane immediately asked me what I was looking for and told me that she got newer styles of my initial glasses. She then brought me 7 different styles to try ALL light-​weight. As I was trying on each frame she kept bringing more. Love that she gives you feedback. Even though I’ve been wearing glasses for 12 years I still need advice.
Although I initially wanted matte frames I ended up choosing otherwise. Total time picking frames I’d say was less than 10 minutes. Picked up frames 4 hours later.
Super sad to leave my favorite optometrist, but I’m thinking of stretching my eye-​visits to when I come back. Or maybe just when its time for new glasses.
Super friendly staff and a wide variety of frames. Your eyes will be happy.

Dropped in recently to check out their spec selections since I lived nearby and they are very highly rated on Unilocal.I was the only customer there when I walked in and a young Korean man started helping me with selecting frames that worked well for my face. We both chose something that worked nicely after many attempts, but I just wanted to check out another place one more time before I decide. The lady and young man understood and would hold the frame for me temporarily.
I left, only to realize the other place closed super early on Mondays. Just their luck. I came back and bought the pair of glasses I really liked on the spot. I got an awesome 20% discount off my frames and my insurance paid for most most of it. They make the lenses sometimes in house, so my glasses were ready literally the next day. Yahoo!
I loved my glasses once I put them on. They fit and framed my face perfectly. The guy did an amazing job with the lens :). He made them really thin, even though I have probably the worst eyesight possible. Usually it’s still a thicker lens, even when I purchase the thinnest lens available. I was so impressed!!! Great job :)
I was able to get a beautiful case for my glasses, that already came with a lens wipe and cloth bag for storage and two extra lens wipes that are very well made with their business names on it. The owner even gave my husband a couple of lens cloths just for coming in with me. I wear these glasses almost every day. Amazing service, truly!!!

My family and I came here for a new pair of eyeglasses for myself, and we actually ended up getting one for each of us
. As soon as you enter, someone is there to help you whether its getting an eye exam, or new glasses they can help you instantly. The staff is VERY PATIENT and friendly, they care about your business as much as how you look in a new pair of glasses. Jane stands out here, as its basically her shop. She’ll take the time to go over the whole process thoroughly and she’ll make sure you’ll leave the store happy. Prices seemed pretty normal if not a little lower than other shops, it was not too bad.
If you’re looking for THE PLACE to get your new eye wear, THIS IS THE PLACE!

Great selection of eyewear to choose from designer glasses to low ends. Its also a pkus that they take my vision insurance. You get your eye testing, in the same complex. I come here once a year to renew from sunglasses, great customer service and usually give me a loyalty discount on my frames.

The staff is super friendly and do their best to get you everything you need. Make an appointment so you don’t get stuck waiting!

Recently came back and did not dig the vibe. I guess because they are doing a lot better, they aren’t as caring or concentrated on the customer service. Came in twice within a week and both times was left unattended and left feeing a bit lost and forgotten amongst the sea of people.
Still contemplating and whether or not to return. But I’m left with an impression that they could care less.

Dropped in here for a fix on sunglasses’ nose pads, and lost screws. The guy did a quick job and didn’t charge us, before I could mention my hubby was a patron here. I regret buying those stupid eyeglass repair kits and not coming here sooner.
The lady here is super nice, and you can tell the entire staff is eager to help with whatever needs you have, whether or not you’re there to buy something.

Came here to get my glasses and i had a hard time trying to choose what to get but they the staff were friendly and very helpful and also patient. They had a great selection of glasses.
If you ever need to get glasses or sun glasses I recommend you come here and they will help you get the right pair.

Best service ever & best place to go if your in need of contacts or glasses. Went to get my glasses here and they just treated me like I was their first customer they ever had amazing customer service skills. Came again had some issues with my insurance with a prior doctor I use to go to and not only did they help me figure out a solution but they also still helped me get seen. They are very fast proficient and dedicated to their customers you can’t ask for anything more. The only thing is the location parking it’s just a little to small but I don’t mind waiting my kids and I will go here forever along with other family members. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

There are very few times in my life that I’ve been treated with anywhere near the level of care and respect that I had when coming here last week. It was the kind of experience that makes a lifelong customer out of you… and I was only here for a pair of sunglasses!
Best place. Go here.

I’ve been coming here for a couple years now and they’re still the best!
