I went to Dr. Shin for the first time Tuesday and really liked her. It was my first real eye exam but used to work for a larger optometrist office in LA several years ago. I prefer smaller businesses and was hoping I'd get in and out faster without waits and the hustle bustle. I got in, had my pre-exam, met with her, got an rx, & picked out glasses and out the door really fast.

I've been going to Dr Shin for a number of years. Always done well by me.
Mandy M. replied:

Looking to get an eye exam and contact lens fitting. I overheard someone talking about one of the the optometrists here in LA not taking the lab insurance (VSP). Any...
Fran G. replied:
It might have been me you overheard because I just had this conversation over the weekend:-) ... Eye Associates of NM (by Metzger's) does not take VSP.

We left Atomic Eye Care because they text, call, and email incessantly, make appointments for you without your asking, regardless of whether you need or want it, and have the highest prices I have ever seen for eye care. We've told them in writing multiple times to stop contacting us and they still do, with robo-calls, even! Dr. Lisa Shin, just downstairs from them, is way better in all respects, though I don't know if they take the lab insurance.
Sean L. replied:
Dr Shin does take VSP. The office could be better run, but her services are good.
Margaret G. replied:
Eye Associates also takes VSP
Elise U. replied:
Let me clarify: Eye Associates takes VSP for medical eye services, ie your check ups, they do not take Lab insurance for *eyewear*
Kathy G. replied:
I go to Eye Associates in Espanola... Not here...
Debbie M. replied:
I had a serious medical eye issue- Dr. Johnson at Eye Associates got me into the Retina Center in two days. I'm a fan for life!!
Noelle B. replied:
We go to the Botwin Eye Group in SF. The doctors are excellent and their staff is very organized.
Elise U. replied:
Atomic Eye Care, does. We have been very happy with their service.
Fran G. replied:
With Elise Iverson Uphoff:-)
Karen L. replied:
No weekend hours but we love Atomic Eye Care.
Ali R. replied:
I'm looking at Santa Fe now to try to find weekend hours! Any suggestions there?
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a kids optometrist in LA?
Eric R. replied:
Dr Shin is great!!!
Jamie A. replied:
Dr. Johnson was great with my three year old as well.
Trish M. replied:
Ok cool. I went to Santa Fe with my daughter initially, before I found Orbit:)
Wendy S. replied:
Dr Rasmussen in SF
Trish A. replied:
Dr. Johnson@Eye Associates
Trish A. replied:
Yes, Dr Johnson does. They have a pediatric optometrist in Santa Fe, but that is for more specialized visits. For regular exams and prescriptions, he will see children.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a optometrist in town that accepts BlueCross BlueShield insurance, please?
Michelle Ä. replied:
Lisa Shin
Margaret G. replied:
Both my husband and I use BCBS at Eye Associates. Since we are both diabetic, they pay for the exam. I use VSP to help pay for glasses. You have to file your own forms, but they supply them.
Does anyone know if any of the optometrists in town can put new lenses into current eyeglass frames on-site? Thanks.

What kind of frame metal, plastic, half? Stop by Los Alamos family Eyecare tomorrow and see what we can do. We open at 830. Behind Daniels cafe down stairs.
