From our patients
I have been going for years to get my eyes checked routinely. I have astigmatism and need lenses to drive, and I now have great-quality contact lenses that I am very happy with.

Parking & getting around
We’re in the gorgeous new Westbard Square retail village on Westbard Ave - the redevelopment of the old Westwood Shopping Center.
Head into the garage for free parking - there’s plenty of space. We are just outside the garage entrance on Westbard, between the Post Office and Oak Barrel & Vine.
Walk-ins always welcome
Frame adjustments, minor repairs, and browsing the collection never need an appointment. Walk in any time we are open and we will take care of you, usually while you wait.

From Google reviews
What neighbors say about Westbard Square.
★★★★★
My wife saw the optometrist, Dr. Ezra Udoff, there and recommended him. He was friendly and knowledgeable, with state-of-the art testing equipment, and showed me that my previous prescription (from a noted ophthalmologist) was incorrect in several respects. I could not recommend him more highly.
★★★★★
Great care and attention to detail - always a pleasant experience at a fair price. Location with free parking is very convenient too.
