Eyeland Optical

The owner definitely knows his stuff! And on top of that, he gave a great price for a pair of Cartier shades and glasses. Will be back!

Since I am Korean, I usually look for Korean stores for eyeglasses for better price and quality. From my difficult experience to solve the dizziness and blurriness of my eyeglass, I tried several Korean stores and found out that the shape of eyeglass and the quality of lens are important to avoid the dizziness and blurriness.
The dizziness or blurriness mostly caused by the quality of lens. Mr. Kim recommended the good quality lens for only $ 50 more which is reasonable price compare to other stores. He also know how to physically fix the angle of eyeglasses for my shape of face. I also found that big shape also can cause the dizziness.
You can also meet the best and kind optometrist Dr. Song Yom who takes enough time to figure out eye vision. Because of my dizziness of my eyeglass, I tried two more optometrist at other Korean stores but they were not satisfied.
I happily recommend Eyeland Optical for the best eyeglass store in Koreatown.

This place is very reasonable with excellent customer service. It’s family operated and mr Kim really knows his stuff. He fixes ALL our family’s eye ware! Glasses are ready in 1 hour! They don’t have a lot of selection on sunglasses but you can always order through their catalog. When I find a pair I like somewhere, I just take the model number to Eyeland and their pricing is so much better!

This is the best place with lot of selections for glasses.
You don’t have to worry about their product being fake or anything.
I’ve been their customer for over 10yrs already. If you can’t find the one you like from display, you can always ask them to order from catalog. Price is very very reasonable.

Always excellent service!
Mr Kim knows what type of glasses work on my face! He always recommends me glasses, and i always end up buying them!
Great service, great prices, never a long wait!

My family, four of them, used to go to a optometry store in K-​town over 25 years.
I have always thought their price was steep.
At the recommendation of a friend of mine I visited Eyeland in K-​town and got my glasses. I had my glasses compressed and they came even with a pair of clip-​on sunglasses, which are very handy. The optometrist was very kind and professional. She checked everything I might need and gave me some advice to tell my ophthalmologist what to be checked. Price was half of what I used to pay at the oher store my family used to go and quality was excellent.
I decided EYELAND will be the place for all my family’s eyeglasses needs in the future. Thanks, EYELAND.

Came here for the nose pad installation all the way from the valley. I had no choice; whenever I’d call local optometrists, they had no idea what I was talking about. The owner was very friendly and made sure I knew it cost $ 25. It was only a 20 minute wait before they returned my glasses along with extra nose pads free of charge. There is a paid parking lot, but he validates the ticket for you. This is also located right across the street from the metro.

Female eye optician Dr. Song Yom is always very nice, friendly, and polite. She answered all my eye questions and efficiently provided services I needed. I will keep going back to this placr even if my vision provider is out of their network. I have been here before and did not write a review cuz maybe the awesome service was a fluke (2 years ago). I have recommended friends to this place before and haven’t been let down. Thanks! Walk ins are very welcome.

The staff here is super friendly. The exam was actually fun and really informative regarding my vision needs. My glasses were in within days, a staff member even buffed them and gave me a free case and lens cloth! Exam, lenses and frames, while deal $ 100 where in the past it has cost me closer to $ 500 every time. I enjoyed my experience and I will be back for my optical needs!

The owners of Eyeland Optical are the most courteous and pleasant people that I have ever encountered. I first walked into Eyeland Optical over 6 years ago, received an eye exam and purchased 2 pair of T2 Swiss glasses. Over 2 yrs later when I broke the nose bridge to one pair, they repaired it on the spot and refused my money.
I returned this month to have another eye exam and have my lenses updated.
I have had to return for minor adjustments and every time they were apologetic for my inconvenience, now both pair of my glasses are perfect.
Because of the level of service and quality products they provide, I will be returning to Eyeland Optical for life.
They are located in the Beautiful and Historic I. Magnin building on Wilshire @ Vermont.
When you go, tell them Kirkanthony sent ya!

I broke my precious Dita frames at an Irish pub in New York. They fell to the floor. I stepped on them. I may have had one too many whiskys. But let’s not blame the booze.
The left temple snapped off. The screws were bent. The holes were a mess. The glasses were pretty bad too. I thought I was doomed because I really love these frames, and I recently had transitional lenses put in.
Fortunately, there’s Mr. Kim. If anyone can fix them, he can. He looked worried examining them, but he called me a couple days later. Fixed! And fitting better than ever. I was all ready to pay, but there was no charge.

Owner Mr. Ted Kim is a miracle worker, specialties in fitting the no-​nose-​bridge issue that asian facial bone structure.
he’s been my optometrist since I was a young student in school. He used to be with Ktown chain Italee Optometry but now he’s the big boss man at his own business. He’s great at fixing your nose pieces to fit your face in 1 try. he’ll also help you pick out a frame to fit your face, no joke. I am very picky about my glasses but after he sees a few of the frames you’ve picked out he seems to know what you’re looking for before you do.
He is easy to work with and does his best to work with your insurance.
Speaking of nose pads: If you have a pair of those plastic rimmed glasses and they keep slippin down your no-​bridged-​asian nose, then go in and they can work magic and install some– make it look like it was there all along! TELL HIM MICHELLE SENT YOU! He’ll know!

I“ve been seeing this guy (Ted Kim) for the past 15 years and have yet to find a single reason for complaint. Been to other optometrist but returned to him for the best service available in town. And also for the price negotiations~ ;)

I moved to NYC and tops on my itinerary when I returned to LA was to go here. I’ve had bad experiences at other places, so now that I found a top notch spot, I don’t want to go anyplace else.

This place is owned/​run by an optician my parents had been going to for years at another store — they followed him over when he started out on his own, because he’s really good.
Like, today I walked in to get a new pair of frames; I wasn’t sure if I wanted to stick with a safe pair of the same old kind (metal rounded ovals), or to try something new. But he picked out an angular, plastic-​framed pair of Calvin Kleins for me in about five seconds, and I was immediately enamored. He picked out more frames, but I was happiest with the first one.
The folks there are nice, and fast (my glasses were ready in less than an hour), and they have a pretty large selection of designer frames. The store is hidden away in one of those inside Korean malls that look like regular buildings from the outside, next to the hair salon.
