About Golden State Optometry

Your vision is our passion.

Looking for an eye doctor in Santa Monica who will actually explain what's going on with your eyes? You're in the right place. Golden State Optometry is Santa Monica's neighborhood optometrist. Originally founded by Dr. Reimer in 1979, led for 30 years by Dr. Shannon as VisionSouce Santa Monica, and now by Dr. Gandhi as Golden State Optometry.

Your eye exam here covers a lot more than "which is better, one or two?" We check the health of your eyes from front to back, then walk you through what we found and what to do about it. Whether it's your child's first eye exam, myopia control, dry eye treatment, or a contact lens evaluation, you'll leave with a clear plan and a timeline.

And when it's time for new frames, our expert opticians will help you choose from our hand-picked eyewear collection right here in Santa Monica. Gucci, Tom Ford, Prada, Mykita, Salt and many more curated collections.

Schedule an appointment with an experienced eye care provider at our Santa Monica optometrist office and give your vision the level of care and attention it deserves.

Dry Eye Treatment in Santa Monica

Dry eyes rarely have one cause, so we don’t start with a prescription. We start by finding out why your eyes are dry, then build a plan around daily habits and home care, because that is what makes the biggest difference. If you need more, we offer IPL, radiofrequency (RF), punctal plugs, and prescription treatments, with a follow-up plan so you always know what comes next.


Myopia Management for Kids in Santa Monica

If your child’s prescription keeps getting stronger, it’s worth acting early. We start myopia evaluations at age 4. We’ll explain what rising nearsightedness can mean over time and what to expect as school demands grow and puberty arrives. Then we choose an option your child will accept: atropine drops, Stellest lenses, MiSight contact lenses, or orthokeratology (overnight lenses). We check progress every few months and adjust as your child grows.


Specialty Contact Lens Evaluations in Santa Monica

Told that contact lenses won’t work for you? Often there is a way. We evaluate multifocal, scleral, mini-scleral, and hybrid lenses, including lenses for keratoconus and for eyes after surgery. With corneal topography and trial lenses in every style, we find what works for your eyes. We have helped patients who were told elsewhere that contacts weren’t an option.
