Corina R. • August 29, 2024

Eye care amazes me with the machines and gizmos compared to the drops in the eyes and paper sun "glasses" from the Age of Dinosaurs. Dr. Shields is knowledgeable and answered every question. Special shout outs to her technicians and eye glass specialists.

David C. • August 20, 2024

Persons working are very nice , I felt comfortable like they were family, The only thing I did not like was the very long wait, other then that I was very pleased with help with picking out glasses that looked good on me

Patricia M. • August 16, 2024

I was very impressed with Dr. Shields. Her techniques were refreshing. I appreciated her knowledge when it came to the retina photo review. She brought some things up that I wasn’t aware of from past exams with other optometrists. I always enjoy my bi-yearly exam with Antelope Valley Optomitric Center. It seems so calming there. Always quiet and pleasant. I would totally recommend trying them. You won’t be sorry!
