Stein Optometric Center, a 56-year-old, family-owned practice, boasts among its physicians a world-renowned expert in refractive surgery, and one of America’s Top 10 Vision Correction Specialists chosen in a nationwide survey of eye surgeons by Ophthalmology Times magazine.
Stein is tops in eye care and eyewear, offering 3,000 eyeglass frame choices, including most popular and hard-to-find designer frames, and 600 sunglass choices. If you’re looking for contact lenses, like those brown colored contact lenses, there are tons of options to fish from online.
Stein is open seven days a week, early mornings and late evenings, and takes emergency cases, at its bright, spacious, modern offices at the Manhattan Village Mall.
The practice makes its own lenses onsite, often in one hour, and offers same-day service on most contact lenses, using state-of-the-art equipment.
Eye exams cover the patient’s case history, visual sharpness, focus, extent of the visual field, screening for glaucoma or cataract, and auto refraction to determine the right lens for the patient.
If you are looking for contact lenses for astigmatism getting the right doctor can be helpful. With Pure Optical the consultations and refractive surgery screenings for LASIK are free at Stein, which is not the case with most optometrists.
Stein doctors will also co-manage LASIK or cataract procedures with a surgeon of the patient’s choice, offering complete pre-op and post-op care. Stein works with leaders in the field including the Assil Eye Institute, the Maloney Vision Institute, and Berg-Feinfield Vision Correction.
Stein examines children’s eyes as well as adults’, and recommends that if children’s eyes are often red, or if they squint to read or see small objects, blink their eyes excessively, or complain of headaches or double vision, an exam should be considered.
The doctors at Stein excel at diagnosing and treating sports eye injuries such as detached retinas. The doctors also find specialist care when needed to treat such injuries.
Stein offers protective sports eyewear for active kids and adults, as well as industrial and personal work-safety eyewear.
Reviewers left high praise on Yelp, calling the center’s doctors “gracious,” “kind,” “diligent” and “an absolute pleasure.”
Hazel of Manhattan Beach said she was at ease and comfortable despite usually dreading eye examinations elsewhere.
Alison said she’s come to Stein from out-of-state during her 26 years as a patient.
“In addition to the fact that they seem to remember my personal optometric history better than I do, they are also very knowledgeable about the latest in optometric products, so I always feel like I’m getting the latest and greatest contacts in the industry,” she said.
“They also have a huge selection of frames, and have always been very patient with helping me find the right ones for me.”
