14820 Beach Blvd, La Mirada, CA 90638, USADr. K. Leo Uyeda has been serving the La Mirada community as a trusted optometrist from his practice located at 14820 Beach Blvd. With a focus on personalized, patient-centered eye care, Dr. Uyeda brings professional expertise and genuine attentiveness to every appointment, whether a patient is coming in for their first pair of glasses or managing a long-term eye health condition.
The practice offers a comprehensive range of optometric services, including routine eye exams, vision correction consultations, contact lens fittings, and screenings for conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease. Dr. Uyeda takes the time to thoroughly explain findings and options to each patient, making sure they leave with a clear understanding of their eye health rather than just a prescription. This approach is especially valuable for families with children, seniors managing age-related vision changes, and working adults who spend long hours in front of screens.
What sets Dr. Uyeda apart from larger chain vision centers is the continuity of care that comes with seeing an independent, community-based optometrist. Patients are not shuffled through a system — they build a relationship with a doctor who knows their history, understands their lifestyle, and takes their concerns seriously. That kind of familiarity matters when it comes to detecting subtle changes in vision or eye health over time.
For La Mirada residents looking for reliable, unhurried eye care close to home, Dr. K. Leo Uyeda’s practice represents exactly the kind of local health resource worth supporting. Choosing an independent optometrist like Dr. Uyeda keeps quality healthcare rooted in the neighborhood and ensures that patients receive thoughtful, individualized attention every time they walk through the door.
Dr. Uyeda is the best optometrist I’ve been to. During the exam, he is very thorough, patient and always taking time to listen to my concerns. In addition, both of his staff are so amazing. They are very friendly and courteous. Highly recommended!
I've been going to Dr. Uyeda since 1985. I recommended him to all my co-workers. They all agreed it's worth the drive where ever you live. One coworker drove from Long Beach just to see him. They were very satisfied. Another coworker said she couldn't believe he didn't try to sell her new glasses when she didn't need them. He is very honest, caring and knowledgeable. I recently went to see him for my yearly checkup, I didn't need new glasses. I asked him if he was going to retire soon, he said no. I was thrilled, I don't want to go anywhere else.
I have seen Dr Uyeda for the last 15/20 years, my daughter sees him now as well (she is 7, first pair of glasses at 5 years old) Both my parents are also patients of Dr. Uyeda. We have now moved 25 minutes away but we drive back to Buena Park when it’s time for a visit to the eye Doc. He’s thorough, honest and a true professional. Reina at the front desk is amazing! She is always so helpful and accommodating!
I love Dr. Uyeda - and the staff is amazing! They always help me pick just the right glasses for my personality. Do I normally have Dolce & Gabbana pieces? Not so much. But when insurance pays and I get to wear them everyday? You bet! Seriously, a great and caring eye doctor, and interesting and on trend eye frame selections. I highly recommend the iDoc.
Probably the single best optometrist that you will find! I know, because I purchased a comprehensive exam from this man. He has the equipment necessary to uncover anything and everything that relates to your eyes. I had retinal imaging work done, on his special machine. Plus, he is older and has decades of experience doing this. A quiet and respectful person as well. There's no question that this office is worth the drive. I would recommend this optometrist to a friend or family member without hesitation. This is an honest, unbiased review from a person who actually purchased the services and who simply felt that this gentleman deserved a positive recommendation for the level of care and expertise that he displayed. Visit the office and see for yourself!
