France Vision Optometry

This place is horrible. I came in for a new pair of glasses because mine broke on the side.
The guy who helped me is a push over. I was going for glasses that were a reasonable price because I mainly wear contacts but this guy kept shoving $ 300-​$ 400 glasses in my face. I was asking my mom for advice if it had fit me and he kept saying that my mom is old and didn’t know latest trends when he is old himself.
In the end, the guy fixed my old pair so I was thinking about just replacing the lens since there is no need to buy new frames. But he cut me off and spoke to me in an annoyed tone. I ended up buying the glasses.
Yes, it is cheap, which is why i gave 2 stars. But the customer service is bad and it really gave me a bad mood.

I am sorry but I went here a few months ago and I’m not a happy customer. I will have to try another place soon.

Great service and amazing prices !!
Lowest in town
Went with my whole family, bought 3 pairs (Armani & Chanel)
All for less then $ 450 lenses included

Got my glasses, picked them up and there was a slight scratch through the middle, asked them if that was alright, they said yes. 3 months later as I was cleaning them they broke in half. Called, they said they could do something about it, came in, considering I live in Pasadena it was quite a ways, and they said they couldn’t do anything. Then they tried selling me another pair. Do not recommend for anyone!

Great selection of Oliver Peoples& paul smith. Thank God! Been looking for a store that carries a wide variety of their models.
Salespersons are nice, friendly and helpful.

They took off their Unilocal page and re-​listed it due to the fact they had so many terrible reviews in the past. This place is beyond a rip off and their customer service is terrible.
Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else.
Trust.

if have 0 star, I would choose it without thinking. so bad. i have never got the glasses unsymmetry. He said if you want your eyeglass symmetry, you need pay $ 50 extra. i cant stand it. it is the way to steal your money.

I absolutely love France Vision! I always ask for Mr. Lee. His service is impeccable! He ia always patient with me because I like to try on everything in the whole store. He also gives me the best deals on glasses compared to other stores. I highly recommend!

Im so angry
They tried to sell lenses for $ 100
I bought it at othershop for $ 60 because I felt that was good price because ‘France vision’s salesman tried to sell for $ 100
But that’s average price was $ 45
still overcharged.
OMG. tried to sell it for over twice ??
I bought a glasses about 3 month ago
And now I know I was su~~per overcahrged.
Tooooo expensive

Optometrist is pretty cool. But this place gets way too busy. If you walk i on a weekend, plan to wait at least an hour.

This place is a joke i went here to try and get an exam and contacts and guy tells me that I’m not covered cuz i am over 21 yrs old… i have vsp insurance through my job and i gave him the card with my member id and he said that all it covered was an exam, i have $ 130 for coverage from my contacts or glasses and he was trying to charge me full price. I would stay away from this place

I had been visiting several stores to try on oliver peoples and Barton perreira eyeglasses. Of all the stores, France vision offered the lowest price to me despite the fact I did not have eye insurance. I was impressed by the positive treatment I received from the sales person and the fact that they carried many models and colors these two brands was pretty convenient. I was able to compare all the previous styles I had tried side by side which helped me make my final decision.
One note of warning is that I am a Korean-​American male so that may have had a impact on the way I was treated by the store. However, I do not speak any Korean and despite this, the employees were very accommodating and offered a fair price on a pair of high end glasses. I will be sure to follow up with them for future eye exams and will follow up on this review if there are any issues with my frames or lenses.

The optometrist is knowledgeable, I do like her. The staff on the other hand are as nice as any other eye center I guess. The man that helped me out seemed to have given me a good deal on a pair of eye glasses.

This place is awesome! Linda Lee is the optometrist there, and she is probably the most professional, helpful, and accurate doctor that I’ve ever been examined by.
She speaks perfect English, which was a big sigh of relief for me. They have a huge selection of name brand optics/​sunglasses and will recommend this place to anyone. Good customer service and after service as well!

I have been going here ever since i needed glasses, I always go to the same guy too. he is the best one there!!! love this place always so friendly and knowledgeable.

Never thought buying a pair of glasses would be this difficult. Prices change depending on the sale associate and they were confused with filing the insurance although they happen to be a member of VSP. Poor service and pricing does not deserve a repeat visit.

I’ve been going to France Vision every year for the last 8+ years. The optometrist is the daughter of the owner, and both are very friendly and professional. I agree with the other Unilocaler, parking is a hassle since they share a tiny parking lot with several stores.
The have a huge selection of eyeglasses and sunglasses and a lot of them are mid– to high-​price range, but they are willing negotiate. Most the salespeople have been working there for many years, and they’re known for their customer service. When they give you suggestions for the frames or contacts, sometimes they’re on the high side, but if you ask them for more affordable options, they don’t mind. If you have prescription glasses, you usually get them the same day. If they have to order contacts for you or they’re backlogged, they usually have your order ready in a few days.

France Vision is on Olympic right next to the Young King Chinese Restaurant. Parking is a beeeeyotch though. (Street parking is recommended.)
Hudson is usually the sales guy that helps us out. I usually get contacts (for the year) and glasses. France Vision will try to sell you a new frame every single year. I refuse. They’re very nice though. A bit pushy sometimes but as long as you’re firm with them, they’ll back off.
The optometrist is Dr. Linda Lee. She’s great. English only though for those of you who prefer Korean.
