Larchmont Optometrics

Sometimes life throws you a lemon and sometimes life throws you a really nice surprise. My visit to an optometrist was way overdue, so finally, when I visited my Ob-​Gyn for another overdue annual appointment I decided to maximize my time and visit the optometrist on the first floor. By then I had no idea that they already garnered so many stellar reviews on Unilocal.The lovely front desk assistant could not find a window for a walk-​in appointment but scheduled me for the next day. Everything about the place exuded serenity and professionalism. Every step of the process was honed to perfection, it felt almost like a well-​choreographed dance. When Doctor Ghazaleh Matian stepped into the room I realized that it was the young lady whom I mistakenly assumed to be the nurse because she looks so young. She turned out to be an excellent doctor with excellent bedside manners so to speak. What a pleasure she was to meet! In the end, they charged me exactly how much they said they would charge me and not a penny more. When I said that I rather order my glasses elsewhere no one pressured me even for a moment to stay and order there. If only all my doctor’s appointments were so perfect! Highly recommended.

I am the worst patient ever. I suffer from chronic illness and I get a bit overwhelmed and confused at times, especially when people are sticking foreign objects in my eyes or asking me to look through weird optical configurations. My eyes are rather mismatched, so I’m not easy in the first place. Larchmont Optometrics has been so nice to me through all of this and has been very sympathetic to my other health issues. I’m not encouraging you to abuse them, and I certainly haven’t on purpose, but they have been exceedingly kind and PATIENT to me when I constantly have problems that are mostly my fault. They have a nice selection of eyewear and have been resolved every weird issue I’ve had. Also, they were the first optometrist to ever find a satisfactory contact lens for my weird left eye. Thanks!

I found myself here after dealing with a problem everyone who wears contact lenses dreads: thinking it was fused to my eye. The night before my visit, I poked and prodded, yanked and yelled, screamed and squirmed, all while digging my thumb and index finger deeper and deeper into my ocular socket in an effort to free this little lens. And I came up empty each time. But I was SURE it was in there. So I decided to sleep on it, despite having an early call time in Hollywood the next morning (I live in OC).
I left set and jetted over here as soon as they opened. I explained my predicament to the receptionist and she agreed to charge me $ 38 instead of the usual $ 55 for an office visit. Very cool. Once the doctor entered I explained my problem to her and she put me through a series of tests to see what was going on in my eye. The verdict: there was no lens hidden in there. Whatever I was pulling on last night, convinced it was my contact, was, in fact, part of my eye. Super.
She gave me some drops to help reduce the redness (I looked like an extra from a Cheech & Chong movie) and moisturize my poor, wounded eye. I left with the sweet satisfaction of knowing there wasn’t a foreign object in my eye, waiting to take in bacteria and rob me of my sight. That, in my mind, is $ 38 WELL spent.

Super awesome! They genuinely care. I had a pair of glasses stolen from my car a few days before Christmas that I had just gotten here and they were able to take care of me, with the help of my insurance as well of course! I’m super grateful and appreciate them helping me get my glasses again! I was sad at first but I’m a happy customer! The young woman who helped me get my glasses, I forget her name is the best! Thanks to you guys my vision is never blurry!

Absolutely love this place. The staff is so friendly and welcoming they make you feel right at home. The Doctor is very professional and is happy to spend time to answer all my questions. Plus the have a great selection of eyewear! Name brands as well as some that are not your everyday «cookie cutter» brands that are cool and sophisticated. I like being able to find something not everyone else has. Thank you!

The staff and optometrist were extremely professional and helpful. What an amazing group of people excellent business 6stars if I could. I definitely recommend for anyone seeking glasses, contacts or eye care advice.

I had never been here before I called yesterday to make an appointment. Very easy and nice over the phone.
Went in today and it was AMAZING! The staff is awesome, the doctor was great! The frame selection was perfect. I was in and out in no time!
Will definitely be coming here from now On and will be recommending it everybody who asks where I got my awesome glasses!

Excellent all the around so far. Call for an appointment and be ready for good service and a full eye examination. They are a full a full service establishment and also they have a good selection on frames. The ladies up front make your visit EZ and are very knowledgeable for any paper work (insurance ect.) More to follow when I receive my prescribed glasses.

Love that they open on Saturday. They go above and beyond to help you out in whatever they can. The doctor is really nice and friendly. Good selection on frames !

Larchmont Optometrics is awesome! I first came here about a year and a half ago basically because I found them on Unilocal and they were super close to my house. I was happy with how quickly they got me in and everyone at the office is so nice. I just went back for a check up and an eye infection. Again everyone has been very helpful and accommodating. The eye infection ended up taking a lot longer to clear up than they initially thought, but I liked the way they managed the treatment and follow-​up. And I had some fun shopping for new glasses. Ended up with a beautiful new pair of Pradas that I can’t wait for to be ready!

Found this place accidentally when looking to replace lost sunglasses. The girl at the front desk was really helpful I found two pair of sunglasses that I love and also found an optometrist that is been really good.
I work doing graphic design and computer work all day my eyes get really tired at the end of the day and I get a headaches. So, they suggested I come in for an exam and after two weeks I had glasses and my headaches and my tired eyes are completely gone.
I knew exactly what my insurance would cover before I even walked in the door to get my first eye exam.
The staff is super friendly they have a great selection of sunglasses for contact lenses pretty much everything you need.
I recommended this optometrist to Elise for coworkers into friends and they all love this place as well.

Dr. Matian is my eye doctor for life and Larchmont Optometrics is my optometrist office for life. Dr. Matian is quick, straight, honest and caring.

Dr. Yu is fantastic. Even more fantastic is the very kind staff. Marina, I am talking about you. Thank you for your patience and expertise.

Today was my first appointment with LO, and I have to say that it went as pleasant as possible. I was ten minutes early (no issues), I filled out some paperwork and two minutes later a practitioners took me through the first half of the eye exam. The doctor was wonderful and very knowledgable of what would be best for my eyes. The whole thing took less then an hour! She then walk me over to the other lady sitting in the front where the frames are. With a clear idea of what I was looking for-​it took one or two tries and she found exactly the frames I’d been wanting. The whole experience was quite comfortable without any pressure to purchase. Over-​all there was no fuss and no hassle, the LO team were sweet + helpful all the way.
They have new client!

I was able to get an appointment rather quickly and I was glad to find a great optometrist so close to home.
The office is very nice. The ladies are super friendly. The doctor used the latest tools to diagnose my eyesight, which is always encouraging for medical offices. She had a great «bedside» manor, telling me everything she was doing and interacting with me as we went through the tests. It was a very thorough examination.
I ended up needing glasses and their selection was great. I was most impressed with how the woman who assisted me looked at me and knew which glasses would look great on me! She hit the nail on the head every time.
They will be my eye doctor from now on — what a great experience.

The office made time for me even though I didn’t have an appointment, the staff was extremely friendly and the dr’s really care about their patients. Would recommend 100% to anyone in the area in need of eye care services.

Once again I am happy to come hear to experience some of the best and most compassionate service in LA! There is only one optometry store in LA and its Larchmont Optometrics!

The best optometrists in Los Angeles and the best staff. Thank you Dr. Matian, Sonja and staff for taking of my eyes.

Pleasant, knowledgable staff. Good selection (although no Oakley’s). Def recommend.
Office is on first floor. They don’t validate but neighborhood parking, if you find it, is a possibility for an hour or so.

After mediocre experiences with so many optometrists, I grew discouraged and just stopped caring about who prescribed my glasses/​contacts. My last doctor was this sketchy guy I saw at my Target store because I was a manager there and him being in my store was just convenient. He was totally incompetent. Then when I got rejected from ordering more contacts a month ago, I realized I just need to get my eye business together and find a place that’s close by, competent and has a good selection of glasses because that was my priority. To my delight, I found Larchmont Optemetrics.
Scheduled a Saturday appointment a couple of weeks in advance because they were booked for anything sooner. Walked in, filled out some paperwork and was getting all the beginning procedures out of the way. The doc (last name started with an M) I had my checkup with might have been relatively new, but she was really professional and knew what she was doing. I know people are picky about their doctors but if they’re competent and genuine, I could care less. She’s got to have merit if she’s filling in there anyway. So she got me up to date and squared away in an hour. Went to the front, picked out some cute Oliver Peoples frames and signed off on everything. And viola, eyes were updated and I was out of there in an hour and a half.
I have to point out that the ladies at the front are great. My schedule is pretty tight so we were playing phone tag for a couple of weeks, but they were so prompt and competent that they got the job done every time. I had a couple of requests regarding the paperwork for my glasses and they were on top of it. When I needed my contact prescription, I asked them to mail that to me and received it two days later. They’re always courteous and helpful, and I really appreciate that kind of service. The price tag is worth the quality! Consider me a regular.
