The Ultimate Eye Care Experience

Dr. Kathleen Briggs took excellent care of me in the compact, super-modern optometry section of this upscale optical boutique in downtown Manhattan Beach. She got my prescription squared away and cautioned me to see my ophthalmologist about a condition that I knew about but had worsened considerably, that my previous optometrist of 20 years never bothered to mention. Her friendliness and efficiency were much appreciated and I’ll never go see old cranky-pants with his outdated equipment again! The opticians in front-of-house were also great! Wish I could remember the name of my sales associate but she took her time helping me, making good selections when she saw what I liked and never made me feel rushed. I’ve also received nice hand-written postcards from them, as a thank-you and at Christmas. The offerings here are TOP NOTCH. I did my Yelp research and phoned round the South Bay first to make sure they had the frames I wanted (Céline) and took my insurance, and found no need to go anywhere else in LA. Their buyer has superb taste. Of course, the expected high-end designers like Prada and Tom Ford, but also designers who are more like artists, producing limited-rdition pieces. Dita from Japan. Chrome Hearts. It’s sickening how much money I could drop in here if I had it….
