A Child’s View

Great service and selection of eye glasses. The glasses are a little pricier compare to other places but the service that they provide its beyond amazing. My child has to wear glasses when he was 2.5 yrs old and we got our prescription done through our kaiser insurance. Half year later, my son needs a new pair of glasses and we came here based on my friend’s recommendation and we really like the glasses and service that they offered.
Friendly staff and environment for kids. My son didn’t even cry or struggle with the whole trying on and taking off process.

When our daughter (4) needed glasses I assumed the 20 pairs at MY Optomotrist would be be enough to choose from… I was wrong. This place can fit a newborn all the way to a teenager with proper glasses. My daughter wore her glasses to correct a lazy eye and the improper fit resulted in her eye crossing more. Ever since we were fitted at A Child’s View– she is properly using the glasses and her lazy eye is well on its way to being a thing of the past. Amazing place with wonderful staff who really are the children’s eye experts… as we send our kids to Pediatrician we should take all children with optometry needs to ‘A Child’s View’. We will use them until our daughter is an adult. A++

Took my 2 ½ year old here yesterday to get her first pair of glasses. I live in Riverside and the two closest dedicated children’s opticians that I know of are this one and a place in Rancho Cucamonga. Since I am roughly equidistant from the two, I decided to try this one since I already got glasses for my 8 month old at the one in Rancho.
I’m glad we arrived when we did, because shortly after we got there, 3 – 4 other families arrived and a long wait developed. The optician that helped us, Ann (Anne?), was very knowledgeable and helped steer us in the direction of the frames that had the best fit and were best suited to the needs of her prescription and our lifestyle. She was very patient and worked with my daughter carefully. We ended up with 2 frames, one for regular wear and one that is flexible and durable for playing outside, etc.
I do think that their prices are higher than the optician in Rancho (on the lenses, not the frames) because we got the same frame as we got for my other daughter with the same kind of lenses on a lower (and therefore usually cheaper) prescription, but the glasses ended up being about $ 40 more here. The warranties seemed equal and the attention and care we received here was excellent. I’m not sure what accounts for the difference in price but for the service, I am not bothered.
10% off the cheaper pair if you buy two, great selection, knowledgeable staff, good warranty. Prices seem kind of high but I think it’s worth it to ensure you are getting the best glasses for your child.

In 2010, when my daughter needed glasses, we made the long drive to Brea for her prescription. Recently, to save time we went with a vendor closer to home in Los Angeles. Big mistake! We wasted $ 300 on a pair of glasses that weren’t properly fit. I only knew this because I remembered the detailed fitting process at A Child’s View.
Recently we were seen by Christina who was fun, cheerful and most of all, extremely patient with my special needs daughter who has a hard time with the fittings. Thank you Christina for making each visit as painless as possible and working with us!!! Best of all, glasses fit perfectly.

AMAZING staff! My husband and I have been going to A Child’s View ever since our son was diagnosed with cataract when he was six weeks old and we won’t go anywhere else. They understood everything we were going through. They wouldn’t push anything on you, but they do have your child’s best interest. They explain why some glasses are better for your child than others. My son is turning one soon and he has no problem with any of the staff! It’s a great feeling to see that as a mother. It’s best to come in during the week days because the weekends you’ll need to wait about an hour or so to be helped. They don’t rush you out, they actually want to help and that’s very comforting.

This is the best place to get glasses for your child. My 3 year old twins both have glasses and I’ve had to go at least 5x in the last 6 months for free adjustments due to accidentally bending or twisting. Also, every single staff is great with kids. My kids especially love Frank!

Wonderful staff that truly care about your child’s optometric needs. They obviously specialize in eyewear for children, and they do a wonderful job at it.
If your child has a need for glasses, don’t hesitate to come here.

The customer service here is amazing! They are very helpful and do not push expensive frames on customers. Each time I need to have my glasses readjusted, I just come in and they take the time to make sure it sits correctly on my face. Yes the style is vintage, but I came for glasses and good service; not to go pick up a new iPad. If you want modern, go to the apple store.

It is our first time at A Child’s View, and they were very helpful and a large selection of frames. Don’t know what the other reviewer was talking about. the décor. Decorated very nicely. But then again what does the décor have to do with helping your child get glasses.
