Dr. Ito, Dr. Fuentes and and the entire staff are all so amazing! I went through most of my life without lenses/glasses because I didn’t think I needed them. Until Dr. Ito was able to diagnose me properly and fit me into the best contact lenses. Such a huge game changer when you can finally see shapes and colors for what they really are without having to squinch your eyes!

It is a wonderful place to satisfy all of your eye care needs. Dr. Ito has been my eye doctor for almost 30 years. She is very knowledgeable and very experienced. The office has all the latest diagnostic equipment and all the staff are very knowledgeable and helpful.

I have been seeing Dr Sarah Ito and her delightful support staff for many years. They are all always top notch. And Dr Ito is absolutely sublime with her expertise and technique. Always a great relief. I am grateful.

I am so happy I found Ocean Park Optometry. I drive all the way up from San Diego just to visit this office. They were able to diagnose my Binocular Vision Dysfunction and offer me prism lenses which have drastically improved the quality of my life by now longer being dizzy or experiencing visual vertigo. Arvin especially has been so patient and communicative whenever I have questions or issues with me glasses. I also find it very relieving that they take COVID precautions so seriously. It makes me feel safe coming in for visits. Love that they seem to always have the latest technology and diagnostic tools. Can’t recommend enough!

I’m still new to the area but I’m so pleased with the overall stellar customer service of the team at Ocean Park Optometry, I always feel welcomed there with their knowledgeable team. I went for my first eye exam with them in May in the midst of Covid, and they were so thoughtful and conscientious of every customer from the initial phase of scheduling the appointments and making it a seamless process to greeting you at the door; and the selection of frames are better than any large chain. They’re the best hidden treasure in Santa Monica.

I have been coming to Ocean Park Optometry for several years now. The truth (not trying at all to be cliche here) is that the staff has always been extremely friendly & professional at all times. They are also very thorough in their examinations & have always offered a very wide variety of vision products & solutions. The facility is bright & clean at all times & they are always taking measures to improve &/or maintain its appearance for the best customer experience. Appointment scheduling is made easy & they are great w/ reminders & following up for annual visits. I highly recommend them!!!

I love this place. Knowledgeable and caring staff, state of the art equipment and excellent service. I saw Dr. Fuentes and she made sure to answer all my questions and provide new and informative insights. Stay local and go see these guys for your eye health, you won’t be disappointed.

Honestly I am blown away by the customer service here. They sent me reminder/confirmation texts and a digital form to fill out before to run all my info by the time I walked in the door. A lovely lady was waiting for me at the door with hand sanitizer ready to take my temp and I barely waited one minute before my exam was ready. All equipment is high tech and the doctor was ready for me once I did the tests, for her to finish. The second my tests were done, Louisa escorted me to the front to go over insurance options and costs. They have a wide array of trendy frames and clean each one after try-on. Once I found my pair Louisa helped me check out and we had a lovely conversation. I was in an out so fast with not a minute wasted. So impressed with OP optometry and can’t wait to pick up my glasses in 2 weeks!

5 full thumbs up to the guys and gals at Ocean Park! They a wonderful, patient and caring team that will get your Optometry needs done right. Covid protols were on point, plentiful of parking and you can test out your new glasses by the beach less then a few mins away down on venice 😀For me i had a more specialized condition that needed to be explored which was binocular vision dysfunction (BVD) amongst other vestibular type issues. These guys are one of the very few that specialize with neurological/vestibular type vision issues with neurolens. If you feel dizzy, eye strain, dry eyes and other similar symptoms, it might be your eyes. I knew my eyes had to be checked based on my symptoms and the testing was non-invasive, very specific and lengthy (which is good). I picked the SALT glasses as they are handcrafted in japan albeit a bit pricey but worth it! They also addressed and reimbursed my charges from a service that I didnt end up using with no problem.Thanks Dr. Ito, Luiza, Javier and the rest of the team for assisting with me

I had a very pleasant experience today. I applaud the way Ocean Park Optometry is handling the current COVID-19 situation. I felt very safe, it was very clean, and they put new systems in place so I was able to get the care I needed. I am very thankful for people like this that are still working and making sure we feel comfortable getting care. Thank you and I highly recommend this facility, Dr. Ito, and all the place that work there.

I’m very impressed with this place. The staff is well informed and they were very patient and good humored with all my questions during the testing part. Their clear answers were both refreshing and comforting . I especially like Dr. Ito. She has a nice, low key, honest approach to her work. She clearly loves what she does and is very good at it. I tell my friends to go see her and so far they all agree.

I would like to share my experience with Ocean Park Optometry. They are absolutely amazing at this optometry office. The whole staff is wonderful. They are friendly and very professional.. Antwanett greeted me at the door and proceeded with checking in. She is so sweet and professional. Then Javier took it from there. He was great. I totally appreciate his patience with me today. I am very picky about my glasses. It took me awhile today because they have so many choices. Javier kept smiling and told me it was not a problem and for me to be happy with my choice. He even went into his computer to find the exact size I needed. Dr. Fuentes did my eye exam. She was thorough and explained everything to me and answered my questions I had. She was so professional and accommodating to my concerns with contacts.The staff in this office is exceptional .Thank you again Ocean Park Optometry for an excellent experience I received today at your office.

Review №38

The eye exam was pretty basic and the experience felt similar to that of lens crafters or other big name glasses stores. Unfortunately I will not be coming back because they “couldn’t give me my pupil distance unless I had on their frames”. In the past I’ve got strange looks from some doctors when I asked for it but this is the first time I’ve ever been refused it.

Going to Ocean Park Optometry and working with Dr. Ito and her Staff was a wonderful experience. We especially enjoyed working with Arvin who made everything easier when picking out frames, sizing lenses, discussing options--he answered all of our questions. The Office was modern/clean along with the state-of-the-art technology, a major plus! Overall, excellent customer service and the atmosphere is very relaxed but professional . Thank you Ocean Park! -The Glides

Review №58

Exam process was quick and painless. Worthy of 5* easy. Although the pre-exam pressure to pay for extra tests probably deserves a half star reduction.Process of purchasing frames by far the worst I have had in 20+ years doing so.After selecting some frames I was given a quote far above what I expected. When I asked for a cost breakdown I got the run-around, and then some sideways talk about how they could lower the price. Which they did without me asking them to.I should have walked out then and there. Bad on me for paying. The frames I ended up with are easily now both the most expensive and yet cheapest I have ever owned.Incredibly disappointing and worse, stressful experience.Make sure you know exactly what you are getting, and sacrificing in your choices here, which is hard with a sales staff that avoids directly answering questions.

Recently moved to Santa Monica having a recent comparison to my prior Optometrist in Boston. Hands down, Ocean Park far surpassed them in professionalism, state of the art equipment, expertise, diagnostics and customer service, I am very happy with my choice .

Dr. Ito and everyone at Visionworks is fantastic! I love the 21st century convenience--being able to schedule appointments online, receive texts and email updates about my appointment/glasses, and the ways that they keep in touch throughout the year via newsletters and emails. I wish every health care experience I had were as pleasant--everyone in this office understands how to be professional and caring.

Sara Ito has been my optometrist for many years, and my appointment yesterday reminded me why. Im in the process of preparing for cataract surgery, and she must have spent nearly an hour answering my questions, helping me to choose a surgeon, and so forth.

Ive been seeing Dr. Ito for nearly nine years and I couldnt be happier. She and her staff have consistently been professional, thorough and informative. After wearing glasses for most of my life because contacts were never comfortable, she helped me find lenses that work with my dry eyes, and provided treatment to moderate the underlying problem. The price of my contacts and non-prescription sunglasses have been competitive with online retailers, which was a pleasant surprise.

Review №74

Great staff! Very friendly. I was only curious as to why I got the floor model frames when I chose them. Is that a regular practice? I thought it was weird to get frames that others have probably repeatedly tried on. Then pay full price for those frames. I’m not used to buying glasses, so I wasn’t sure if that was a thing.

I originally found Dr. Sarah Itos practice well over 10 years ago. I was pleased at the time with the services, but took a recommendation from a family member to try another optometrist in recent years. I did, however, I soon realized that I had made a terrible mistake. When I had the need to renew my prescription I made an appt. here and the moment I walked in I felt a great sense of relief and familiarity. The atmosphere is even better than I remember and the new remodeling is beautiful. Every staff member is friendly, open and helpful. And, Dr. Ito is delightful, personable, extremely professional and knowledgable. I was take care of quickly and feel so glad to be back! I highly recommend Dr. Ito and her practice... they are true local gems.

Review №84

Dr. Ito and her staff are the best. I am nearsighted and 40+ - Other eye doctors would correct my vision with contacts so that I could see far away, but that messed up my vision for reading close up. Dr. Ito figured out a prescription that allows me to see far away AND close up without reading glasses! Yay! For that alone, I am forever grateful to her, but top that off with a staff that is super helpful and nice, short waiting times and state-of-the-art equipment - its a really pleasant experience going here. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great eye doctor.

Dr. Sarah Ito and her staff are very friendly and great, they make sure you are being helped. I got an appointment the same day and I was a new patient. After two years of not having an eye exam I found out that a previous doc had given me a wrong prescription. Thank you Dr. Ito! The other good thing about this place is that they do not pressure you to pick out frames the same day. While I was in the office the lady at the front desk was kind enough to take pictures of another patient trying on different frames so she could send to her mom. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new eye doc.
