Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Talise Sterling, Goods and Shopping · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

Buying glasses in Los Angeles usually means picking between a national chain with same-day repairs and an independent optometry practice that also fits frames. The eyewear stores in Los Angeles on this page have logged nearly 3,400 Google reviews between them, and ratings here hold at 4.8 or 4.9 across the board, so the real decision is whether you want a full eye exam alongside your glasses or a fast in-and-out frame fix.

Short answer: LensCrafters downtown leads Los Angeles eyewear stores in review volume at 4.8 stars across 998 reviews, with Shermin Lahijani OD, Hollywood Optometrist close behind (4.8, 946 reviews) and L. A. Vision Optometry posting the highest rating at 4.9 across 762 reviews. Most of these are full optometry practices that also sell frames, so an eye exam and a new pair of glasses can usually happen in one visit.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Los Angeles eyewear stores. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from nearly a thousand reviewers carries more weight than a 4.9 from a few hundred. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much do glasses cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

Pricing depends heavily on frame brand, lens type and whether insurance applies, and the businesses on this page do not publish a shared price list we can cite with confidence. LensCrafters runs its own promotional discounts on prescription glasses, so check current offers directly, and ask each optometry office whether an eye exam is billed separately from frames.

Serving all of Los Angeles

These eyewear stores and optometry practices cluster around downtown Los Angeles, including Figueroa Street, Broadway, Little Tokyo and the Alvarado corridor near Hollywood. Searching for an eyewear store near me? Every listing above shows a live phone number so you can call ahead to check same-day availability.

What to ask before you buy glasses in Los Angeles

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these eyewear stores?

We started from eyewear stores and optometry practices in Los Angeles with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do these stores offer same-day glasses repair?

LensCrafters is repeatedly praised by reviewers for same-visit repairs, including on frames purchased elsewhere. Call ahead to confirm availability for your specific issue.

Can I get an eye exam and buy glasses at the same visit?

Yes, at most of the businesses on this page. Shermin Lahijani OD, L. A. Vision Optometry, Eyes on the Bloc and Total Vision Little Tokyo are all full optometry practices with on-site frame selections.

The bottom line

LensCrafters is the safe default downtown for review volume and fast repairs, while L. A. Vision Optometry holds the highest rating on this page and a reputation for efficient exams. For continuity of care over the years, Eyes on the Bloc’s long-standing patient relationships stand out.
