Serge was amazing. A small screw came out of my glasses and he was able to fix them in an instant. Super nice guy.

Serge is hands-down, the - most - awesome - optician - on - the - planet!!! I was referred to Serge by a good friend, over 10yrs ago. And I've been a 100% loyal customer ever since. I've also taken all of my vision challenged family members and friends to see him as well. We all love Serge. And would never consider going anywhere else. He's very knowledgeable, always professional, personable and helpful. Serge and and his staff provide outstanding customer service, An amazing selection, and to top it all off, he really does do great work!! And usually pretty quickly too! I don't think I've ever had to wait for more than a few days, for my glasses. Most often, I've gotten them the same day. Reliant on various factors, ie: special Rx, optiononal features, etc. My point is, if you ever find yourself in need of corrective lenses, contacts, or some super cool Rx shades, do yourself a favor, and GO SEE SERGE. You won't regret it!

Serge was wonderful! My friend Candy took me there when I came to visit from Georgia with my daughter for college. We needed to get new glasses for myself and her. He was very good to us! I love the store and serge! I would recommend anyone to go there and challeng anyone to go somewhere and get better service. I will never go anywhere else to buy glasses ever! I look forward to going back to LA just to go there to buy moe shades. Thank you Serge for being so good to us! You have my business for life! I will be calling to get new pair for Hawaii next week! Can't wait!

Serge and company are fantastic and reliable opticians. They sell an array of cutting-edge styles at extremely reasonable prices. Our family has shopped here for years and would not hesitate to recommend them to any future customer.

Serge, you are the best. I took my girl to get her glasses fixed and you told me that you couldn't repair the frames because they were beyond anything that would work permanently. You then said you could pop the lenses out and put them in new designer Italian frames for $65.

I have been going to Serge for the last 15 years, and he has always been the most pleasant person to work with. Him and Sam are true gentleman, and they both understand what it takes to make a client happy. My interactions with Serge are simple. I walk in, tell him whether I want Sunglasses or Eye Glasses, he gives me a few to try on, and I usually leave with the first one he gives me. Lets not forget how the prices at Optical Time are phenomenal compared to many other stores on the boulevard. If you want to get the best you go to the best! Serge and Optical Time always deliver. Thank you guys for always taking care of me! -Joseph

Outstanding!!! Serge provides one on one customer service, I felt as if I was his only client. He made suggestions for frames I would never have thought of, and I LOVE THEM! The quality of the product, the quality of the customer service and the value of the product put Optics by Serge as my one and only place to do business when needing optical services/products. Thank you Serge :)

Serge is more knowledgeable than most optometrists. His work is accurate and on time. I won't go anywhere else to have my glasses made.
