Eye Candy Optometry

I have been coming here for four years now. I love the doctor and staff! Their selection of unique frames are amazing. I love the new office and location. Wonderful experience each and every time.

My crooked pair of glasses needed an adjustment so I walked into this beautiful optometrist’s office. Not only was the service amazing, the place is gorgeous, and there’s a wonderful selection of glasses.
I will definitely be back when I need to buy my next pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses!
Thanks, Eye Candy!

I really have enjoyed and appreciated Dr. Rabbani, but am making the decision to no longer go to Eye Candy. The staff has cancelled appointments on me twice, for no apparent reason.
They rescheduled me to a time that I cannot make. They do this at the last minute. I find this utterly disrespectful.
I also feel that they are expensive, and use every opportunity to sell me eye wear, In the past, before I knew I could just ask for the prescription, and buy my glasses elsewhere, I would be suckered into this. I was even told I was getting a deal, based on my insurance.
I have come to feel that EYE CANDY are more about making a buck than about looking after and providing service to their clients.
And this makes me sad, because Dr. Rabbani is wonderful. I just can’t put up with feeling like a second class person who needs to roll with their scheduling punches, and at the last minute.

I had a horrible experience with this office, Doctor Rabbani in particular. He gave me a full eye exam for contacts and eye glasses. My eyesight has significantly improved from my extremely healthy eating habits! He wanted to use eye drop dilation for the exam, and I politely refused. (The first exam with him a year ago. he used eye dilation drops and he said I was fine to drive myself home. I left his office and could barely see, almost had an accident. For 3 days after that my vision was all messed up.)
He does the routine Optimap testing (with the glass), Glaucoma test and the electronic eye test to verify my prescription. He gave me a prescription for my contacts, which I have been wearing and ordering from him for the past 6 months. He however has refused to give me a prescription for my eyeglasses unless I sign a legal document saying that he is not responsible. This has made filling the prescription difficult if not impossible, even though it is my legal right to deny the eye drops. He performed all necessary exams and has my prescription. He filed thru my insurance, I paid my bill at the time of service. He is still refusing to give me my prescription for eyeglasses.
I have been legally blind since I was 5 years old. My glasses are completely broken and he is aware of this. I am a 32 year old very healthy female. My glasses are essential for seeing at night and for emergencies. I will unfortunately be leaving the country on vacation soon with no glasses after paying for them at Warby Parker because Dr. Rabbani refuses to send them my prescription. Warby Parker is an amazing company that for every pair of glasses you buy, a pair goes to a person in need. If you are in LA you should visit the Venice location or order online. They have wayyyy better deals than this doctor. They have great prices, fast turn around (if your doctor gives you your prescription), great quality, AND you know that thru your purchase you are Giving Back.
Overall, Dr. Rabbini is a strange, superficial, and condescending man. He tries to get more money from his customers by having them come back to pay for an additional visit to have the eye dilation performed at his request! It’s simply a greedy and deceptive practice. There are SO many great optometrists in LA, don’t be fooled by the Candy in the window… it’s all an ILLUSION!
Ps– What doctor promotes eating sugar? Sugar makes your health and VISION WORSE! Bad idea promoting Sugar Doc… Oh no I guess that’s a good idea for you bc that keeps the customers coming. I highly suggest you DO NOT go to this Doctor. Also, the customer service is horrendous, the main woman at desk (not Kathy — she’s nice) the other one — is very negative and has a lot of anger in her demeanor. She’s in the wrong industry there is nothing customer service oriented about her.

i am a fan — great office. the doctor is lovely. they take VSP. highly recommend.

Dr Rabbani was very courteous and provided some of the best care. His staff was courteous and very knowledgeable about my insurance coverage. At the moment, I have Kaiser for primary health insurance, and it was just not convenient to go to a Kaiser location, especially to an unknown doctor for an eye injury. Luckily my injury was something that Dr Rabbani could take care of and I was walking out of his office within an hour of walking in.

Dr. Rabbani and staff are just amazing. I am so glad I found them. Best service and of course very knowledgeable. I wish i can give them 10 stars.

The Doctor and the sweet gals at reception are WONDERFUL. I continue to be pleasantly surprised by the quality of care and service from Eye Candy. When I called and explained that I had no insurance, they worked with me and have been super helpful. Awesome doc, he seems like he truly cares about helping people, and takes the time to call patients back if they phone with questions. I love these guys. :)

Awesome selection of glasses.
Great service. Would recommend to everyone. Great prices and styles!

I had some eye issues as a kid, so I am always very cautious in choosing an eye doctor. Happily, I have found Dr. Rabbani, who was very thorough as well as very patient with my fear about getting my eyes dilated. Service by staff was good as well. My only reason this didn’t get 5 is that their prices on glasses are a little steep; there were only a handful of frames in the price range of what my insurance company covered. They had a lot of beautiful frames, though, that could I have afforded them I would have gotten in a second.
Highly recommended.

I initially came here after much searching through doctors who accept my insurance in my area and checking the Unilocal reviews. Eye candy had great reviews, was close by and took my insurance… score!
Thankfully, Unilocal didn’t let me down! Dr Rabbani is so friendly, thorough and attentive. My eyes are all confused and I constantly have headaches. I mean, HAD headaches. Now that I have the correct prescription and the super cute frames to go with them, hasta la vista headaches!
Totally recommend Dr Rabbani and staff! Store is so cute too!

Dr. Rabbani and his staff are the absolute best in the business. I’ve always felt like my eye exams were rushed and left me with a lot of questions, not the case at this doctor’s office. I was always told that because my left eye is lazy, it couldn’t be corrected with lenses. Not only did Dr. Rabbani correct it but the lenses he prescribed have brought me to almost ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision in both eyes. I could talk until morning about what a wonderful experience I had and what a stand up gentleman he is. Don’t take my word for it, schedule an appointment and get your eyes checked by the best Optometrist on both sides of the Mississippi.
P. S. If you have down voted this fine establishment then there is something wrong with you.

Another 5 star review for Eye Candy! Just picked up my second pair of glasses from them and couldn’t be happier. Dr. Rabbani is an amazing optometrist, I spent more time with him in one appointment that I have with any other doctor, he is very thorough with every test he does. The front desk staff is amazing, recently hired optician David is a top notch guy who, like the Dr. himself, wants you to have the best glasses and experience. Can’t forget Karina (I know I spelled your name wrong!), also at the front desk who has infinite patience with each person to help them select frames.
This is a cute little boutique-​y place with a nice selection of frames, some very hip. I am the least hip person out there and still found frames for both regular and sunglasses so I can’t imagine you won’t find something. Go on over and have your eyes checked!

Five Stars for Dr. Rabbani and his terrific staff. Rabbani has been my optometrist for a few years now and it’s high-​time I share my enthusiastic satisfaction.
His approach is thorough, relaxed, and holistic. I won’t go anywhere else my general exams. He also helped me through a particularly stubborn dry-​eye issue with caring attention and effective treatment.
The office staff extend his welcoming manner and patient-​centered philosophy beyond the exam room. From scheduling to after-​care, they are always sweet and helpful. Both doctor and staff have gone above-​and-​beyond to take care of me.
I could not endorse Dr. Rabbani more strongly or recommend his office more highly.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this place. Dr. Rabanni and his staff have always been very kind, efficient and helpful with all of my eye health needs.
If I hadn’t moved away, I would have already booked my annual eye exam for sometime this month. Will definitely miss this place.
They have a very nice selection of frames and if they don’t have quite what you are looking for, they will try their best to find you a sample (that’s what they did for a fram I saw online for one of the German lines they cary. Unfortunately once I came it to try it on, it didn’t quite work out on me. But I did find something else they had in stock, so it all worked out thankfully.)

This place has ROBBED me. Avoid at all costs! My experience is just like Wyndie M. and Kate M.
I purchased glasses worth $ 600 and they had the audacity to expect me to accept delivery TWO MONTHS after the order was placed. In that time, I had already gone elsewhere and got another pair. I demanded my money back and they refused. They’re hiding behind some lame «policy» about no refunds. It’s been six months and they have not delivered my glasses nor refunded my money. As far as I’m concerned they’ve robbed me.
I went in complaining of headaches from eye strain. I was taken in by Dr. Rabbani and his sweet-​talking service staff. I placed an order and requested that it be expedited because of my headaches. They said that it typically takes 2 weeks. They cashed my payment right away. Around three weeks later they gave me some B.S. about the frames having problems and sending it back to the lab. They said there was no estimate on when they could get my glasses to me. Two months later, I get a casual call to pick up my order like nothing had happened. Are they joking!!!
Here’s their M. O
— Sweet talk customer into most expensive thing possible
— Claim two weeks delivery
— Cash money right away
— Deliver a few months later and blame it on the lab

This is a cute boutique shop with a fun selection of glasses. But once you make the purchase, the customer service and experience going forward is an epic FAIL.
If I could offer you one piece of advice: run, do not waste your money here. I found this great pair of glasses, and they told me it would be 2 – 3 weeks. Okay, that’s fine. But after 3 weeks I had to call them to ask where the glasses were. They didn’t know and said they would call back. They called back right away, to tell me that everyone at the company was away at a trade show and so it would take another 7 – 10 days. No apology, nothing. They didn’t even notice my order was missing. Unacceptable, and who runs their company like this and ignores incoming orders for 3 weeks.
After 10 more days, I call again. «Oh yeah sorry, they’re still not in, but we’ll do a rush order.» Okay so now it’s a rush order. Once the frames came in it was another 3 days for lenses. Once again, no apology. I guess this is standard business for them.
Finally 2 days shy of 6 weeks, they call to say my glasses arrived. I go into the store and the girl behind the counter pulls out this cute gift bag with my glasses and says thank you and walks away. Um, isn’t anyone going to see if they fit or are the right Rx. Any follow up? Apology? Customer Service? Okay I’m on my own. So I told the girl to stay there while I try them on, I go to a mirror and put the glasses on, I said that they felt kinda tight. She said that I wasn’t used to them yet, but if they feel tight in a few weeks come back to have them adjusted.
Like hell I’m setting foot in here again. Just want to warn everyone else what a disaster this place is. I should have paid ¼ the price and gotten better service at Costco or LensCrafters.

I have been a customer for just over 2 years now and have yet to have anything less than an excellent experience.
Dr. Rabbani provides a thorough and thoughtful level of care that far exceeds anything I have experienced in the past. I had resigned myself to not being able to wear contacts anymore due to discomfort and headaches, but Dr. Rabbani worked with me for over a month, letting me try anything and everything he could get his hands on until we finally found something that worked. He is also just a nice guy, plain and simple.
His staff is knowledgable, helpful and friendly. They know my insurance better than I do, and help me understand how to get the most out of my coverage. Their knowledge about their selection of frames and lenses is also impressive, always able to help me find what I’m looking for even if they don’t have it on display.
Their selection is cool and trendy. However, in this area I think they can still grow. The selection is cool and trendy, but not extensive. It would be nice to see a few more affordable options, as well as another designer or two.
To sum up, you will not be disappointed. and even if you don’t commit, it is worth dropping in, checking it out, and having a cookie on the house.

Such a nice boutique/Optometry…and yes the Dr is cute and super nice! ha
It’s like a house converted to a boutique. The décor is absolutely adorable and homey. The only draw back here are the prices for glasses. Don’t get me wrong the selection is great and so are the styles but its fufu glasses with fufu prices even after insurance covered part of the cost.
So I highly recommended going for the check up but if you’re on a budget (like me) than you may skip purchasing glasses there.

I visited here with a friend, and was so charmed by the selection of frames, the attentiveness and knowledge of the staff and the calming ambiance that I made an appointment on the spot. Dr. Rabbani is very attentive, he actually LISTENS to your concerns and addresses every single one of them. I have never felt more comfortable, or less rushed. I never felt as though I was being rushed through my exam, or pushed out of the office to make way for the next patient.
I had to go back the next night for a second eye exam it turns out (I was suffering from extreme eye strain and having trouble with my exam). They were able to fit me in at the last minute, and even though the office closes at 6 on Fridays, when I left at close to 8pm, Dr. Rabbani still had another patient to see. Total devotion to his practice.
And lets talk about the office for a minute. HUGE jars of candy everywhere, a flat screen TV in the waiting area with a selection of movies to choose from, a children’s play area, and yummy lemonade in champagne glasses. They carry some of the most unique frames I have ever seen. Frames that are made with 5 mm film, intricate filigree, wild colors and some made completely out of recycled materials, like the ones I chose.
Dayana will explain all of your options to you, and make sure you get the best deal on the best frame and lens (es). And she is also a MASTER at adjusting frames. She has the magic touch, I swear. I had a pair of computer glasses made for me out of an old frame that I had had a lot of trouble getting adjusted in the past, and in 30 seconds, she had them perfectly adjusted for me. No pliers, heating or special tools. A-​mazing.
This is by far my best experience at an optometrist/​optical boutique. Thank you Eye Candy. You rock!
