Douglas Optical

I finally got tired of super gluing and taping my broken frames together so I came here after reading good reviews and I don’t regret it!
Got my news frames and they were able to get my prescription lens off my old pair. The total time it took was around 45min (mostly due to me being indecisive and picking out a frame). Total for everything was 79.99!
Super friendly people, definitely recommend this place!

I just got new glasses that I desperately needed at Douglas Optical by Dale’s Diner on Carson. He had millions of refurbished frames and if you choose from them they are free and all you pay for is the lenses. I got my eye exam for $ 54 at Costco and took it to him. They gave me his name. I got a pair of prescription readers for $ 80 and some bifocals for another $ 100 or so. The readers were done in a half hour and the bifocals were ready the next day.

Took beloved pair of glasses which had were broken when I sent them out for new lens, Original co broke them but sent the new lens anyway, without setting them. took all to Barry at Douglas Optical on 4501 Carson St (Norse Way) & he FIXED THEM!!! HAPPY DANCE! While I waited! Now I have my beautiful glasses back in GREAT SHAPE! Highly recommended!

long story short!
BARRY is awesome! did the eye exam made me choose a FREE frame from his WALL OF FRAMES (literally) well its included with the lenses. a lot to choose from! harry potter style, cat eyes, metal, oversized square or those rectangular ones which I chose! they also offer contacts and branded frames for additional price.
I got there around 5:30ish left by 5:55 cant beat that! especially if you need a quick fix for your eyes!
December goal: accomplished! «I can see clearly now… la la la la la»
PS: Also, THANK YOU Barry for the MILKA!!!

I found this place when my husband needed his eyeglasses repaired in a hurry. I went strictly by Unilocal reviews and I’m so glad I did. This small space is immaculate and has literally thousands of frames to choose from. Barry has the equipment to make lenses in the store so he can make lenses for just about any frame you can find, vintage or whatever right on the spot. No waiting for your frames to be sent out. He repaired my husband’s glasses in about 10 minutes and the cost was very reasonable.
Barry and his staff are so kind and patient. This is THE PLACE to go if you need eyeglass repairs, new frames, lenses, or adjustments. I simply cannot recommend Douglas Optical highly enough.

This is a hidden jewel. I went there today because my eyes were irritated my optometrist said I could no longer wear my contacts until the irritation went away but I cannot see without the contacts so I went to Douglasand made me glasses in 20 minutes I was so happy very very very nice people small and quaint I would recommend them any day to anyone. I will be going back Jody

Yesterday, while speaking to a customer, I was rudely interrupted by a sudden change of blurred vision. The side hinge on my glasses snapped, leaving my sad spectacles tumbling to the floor.
It’s not everyday that I run into problems with my eyeglasses. Thankfully, I remembered a place that had helped me in the past. Douglas Optical and Barry to the rescue.
He did what others would not dare to do. Fix my glasses at a low rate. I would definitely go here again.

We will be coming here all the time from now on. Barry and his wife are extremely nice, professional, and quick. Got our 5 year old daughter’s glasses repaired for only $ 12! My wife and I couldn’t believe it. Especially since my daughter had put such a hurting on the frames. While we were waiting, his wife showed us some amazing rubber frames that are specifically made for very young glass wearers. We will definitely be going back there next year to get those for our daughter. Anyway, they did the job immediately and we were out of there in 20 minutes. But not without Barry giving us some candy on the way out. Great experience!

I would highly recommend this location, great prices and friendly customer service. The optometrist is very helpful with questions and also has a sense of humor! He makes the experience comfortable and simple, so you’re in and out a.s.a.p ! All of my friends that I’ve recommended here love this place as well! (:

PROS: Fast same day service and economical pricing for a wide array of glasses. I was able to get my glasses fast and easy and the glass and frame have not deteriorated after a few months of wearing them.
CONS: This place is good if you are in need of reading glasses or if you have a prescription at hand but if you have some eyesight problems like me (cataracts, astigmatism) then I recommend getting a prescription with an optometrist before purchasing your glasses here that way you save money and get the proper prescription needed.

Great place to go for glasses! From now on this will be my only go to place for anything to do with glasses. Yesterday I walked in without an appointment to see if they could fix my 6 month old prescription glasses from another store that were missing an arm. Dr. Barry said «no problem» and went right to work finding a new matching arm, meanwhile I found a new pair of frames I liked and asked if these could be used as prescription sunglasses, again,“sure no problem”. We had my prescription faxed over and in less than one hour I left with my original glasses as good as new and a great pair of quality sunglasses both for $ 100.00, good quality great service and really nice people, highly recommend!

Got a prescription regular glasses and a sunglasses today. Very quick and friendly service and the best price in the town. I am very much satisfied and happy.

I had a new prescription for progressive lenses. Getting old… Ordered them from Costco and they weren’t right so I brought them back. Same for the next pair so I went to Walmart. and had the same problem, they just couldn’t get it right. Then I went to Barry. He assured me that the problem as the quality of lenses they use. He only uses the highest quality. Boy we he right. That was 10 years ago and probably a dozen pairs of glasses later and I still will only go to Barry. Same for my wife. He also dose my sun glasses.

100% Satisfaction Guarantee. He Cares for his customers and is very honest with his work. Free eye exams, frames are free you just pay for your lens. Love this place!

I have been wearing glasses for 44 years, spent thousands on glasses, and this is where I am spending my money from now on. This is a small business worthy of your support. Moreover, if you are looking for the best value for your money, this is where you want to have work done.
I needed glasses repaired, just happened to be across the street and saw their sign. I had been in pain for days, but five minutes and five dollars later I was good as new. First visit.
Soon, more frames needed work. Second visit, once again I’m great, and they wouldn’t take my money.
Third visit: I have a two new, heavy prescriptions. These lenses cannot be made cheaply. I get sunglasses, computer glasses, and progressive lenses in general use glasses. They are absolutely PERFECT.
They went above and beyond, too. These new lenses were mounted in my old frames. My old frames were reworked and are like new again: nose pads, ear grips, screws, … you do not find this level of service anymore. As I previously mentioned, absolutely perfect.
Need glasses? Do yourself a favor and get them here.

I left a review last month about Douglas Optical and it doesn’t seem to be showing. So I’ll leave one again. I just left there and got another pair of glasses made. My new glasses were done in a fast and timely manner. At a good price. Thank you Douglas Optical

Found a pair of Ray Bans. Wanted to throw in some prescription sunglass lenses. A place down the street wanted twice what Douglas wanted. Took 30 minutes. Waited in the store and chatted with the staff and customers while the work was done. Can’t beat that.

I had a huge emergency because I broke my eye glasses and I could not wait a week for it come in. I found this place on Unilocal and decided to stop by. The man and woman here are so sweet! The glasses frames are really affordable as well as the contacts. But that’s not the only best thing… you also get your eyes glasses as less than 30 minutes!!! Save by the bell!

Ok, so I wasnt really in the market to purchase any new frames. It just so happens I stumbled upon the cutest cat eye frames from another site and needed to get them filled. I searched HIGH & LOW for a place to fill my prescription. Every single place was waaay OVERPRICED. A friend suggested lenscrafters… i kindly declined the offer (i completely and utterly loathe that place). Anywho, googled then Unilocaled my SOS and found this diamond in the rough, DOUGLAS OPTICAL!!! Mr. Barry was amazing! not only was he able to help but I also ended up purchasing a 2^nd pair from his FREE frame collection as well. After a very short and nice wait, I was presented with 2 very nice pairs of glasses, just in time to pick up my son. I paid $ 118 total out the door. Prior to me finding out about this place, i was in vision hell! Never in my life has my glasses ever, ever, ever been less than $ 200. I have a single vision lense too. I have tried to tell everyone I know who is visually challenged to get down there ASAP.
I definitely will be back. I saw that some people complained about the language barriers… I didnt find the owners accent to be a hinder at all. I am all about customer service. They were both amazing!
Please pass on the message. This place is EVERYTHING!
I will post a few pics to show you my lil treasures
:)

I needed an eyeglass repaired and was glad I found this little place. I was in and out in 10 minutes. Honest fast reliable service. What more could you ask for? I would highly recommend others for glasses repair. I have heard that this guy can repair any eyeglass. Now if I can just get my little one to stop breaking my things ;)
If you’re looking for eyeglasses there must be thousands on display to choose from.
