I have never been able to understand why optometrist can't seem to get my glasses right, or why their office staff can't get an order right the first time. Well, I can now confirm that Dr. Smith and his staff get it right the first time, and my new glasses have me seeing better than I have in years. The last three optometrist had trouble and I had to settle with "close enough is good enough" solutions. Dr. Smith said that he couldn't improve the vision in my left eye, but he sure could correct the vision in my right eye, and boy was he right about that. I can now read street signs all the way down the street and a newspaper with out eye strain. If you are tired of messing around with others, then give Dr. Smith a try. I think you will be happy that you did. read more

Love this office and am so glad they are so close to where I live. Dr. Greg is very nice and thorough with his tests. I always leave happy with my prescription. The office staff is friendly and professional. They always follow up to make sure everything is going well with my new contacts. Working in the medical field, I appreciate a good provider and a good front office staff! read more

Dr. Smith and Jessica are wonderful and caring people! Dr. Smith really takes his time to give a very comprehensive eye exam. He is always available to help with questions and is very knowledgeable. Jessica coached our son in how to put on and take out his MiSight myopia control contact lenses. She is incredibly sweet and patient and we are very appreciative to her for all of her help. Highly recommend the folks in this office, especially if you have younger tweens/teens starting out in their contact lens journey. read more

Update on my review from last year... This office provides exceptional service and quality eye care. I showed up two hours late for my appointment because I wrote down the wrong time . Instead of making me feel bad, they worked me in and were very accommodating. Dr. Smith provided a thorough exam, and followed up with an email the same day with specialist referrals I needed. Madison in the front office helped me pick out an awesome pair of sunglasses and fixed an old pair of frames that didn't fit right. Outstanding service from everyone! read more

I was long overdue for an updated prescription for my contacts and glasses. It was super easy to make an appointment at EyeGen. They even had a Saturday appointment available the same week I called. I received text updates and reminders both before and after my appointment. They took a lot of care in making sure my prescription was correct. I was able to take my time in selecting frames without feeling rushed at all. They even offered to order me a pair online if I didn't find anything in the store. I received a simple and transparent breakdown about pricing after deciding on my new glasses. I'll definitely be back for my annual appointment and would recommend EyeGen to my fellow Yelpers! read more

Husband and Wife optometry practice. They don't welcome new patients warmly and treat you very cold and dismissively. They want to spend as little time with you and refuse to give you an accurate prescription. The male doctor said he wanted to give a prescription based on the age and not on the eye test. Went for a prescription and left with nothing, with the doctor saying your eyes are great. Don't worry you can't see. I was absolutely astonished. I wouldn't recommend this Optometrists. Very disappointed I wasted my money going to them read more

This was my first time having my yearly eye exam at EyeGen Vision Center. I was impressed by the breadth of tests involved in my exam. Dr. Chang-Smith does a thorough job of evaluating her patient's vision. When compared to my previous optometrists, I have never had such a thorough examination and EyeGen Vision Center's standard exam include testing that other offices require additional payment to perform. Dr. Chang-Smith's explanation of my vision status to me was detailed and she suggested a more appropriate lens prescription for which I am excited to use once my cool new glasses come in from the lab. They have a good selection of trendy frame styles. In the past, it is hard for me to find frames for my face but their inventory had many appropriate frames for me to choose from. Two thumbs up! read more

I went here about 2 years ago and it was not a good experience. The lenses on my regular glasses had to be redone because the lense on left eye was off. They retested and said is was only a slight difference as if it didn't matter, but I had them change the lense out. Then the sun glasses came and same issue. I spent about 400 on sunglasses that I cannot even use. On top of that, when I went in about the incorrect lense prescription on the first pair of glasses, they asked me if I had the glaucoma test...maybe that is why script was off!!! They NEVER gave me a glaucoma test, but told me I could have one as it was part of the exam. Well, why did't you give it to me during the initial exam if it was part of it? Geez, I'm 66 and have been wearing glasses since I was 13 and this was by far the worst incompetent eye place I ever went to. I do NOT recommend them at all. read more

I can't say enough about how much I appreciate the excellent service I experienced from the EyeGen Vision Center! I needed a new pair of prescription sunglasses. I was told in the past that I couldn't get wrap around style sunglasses, because my right lens was too thick, but EyeGen made it happen! They made me an awesome pair of polarized, wrap around, sunglasses! Now I can see so much better and I have the perfect sunglasses for fishing and other outdoor activities! read more

EyeGen Vision Center - Sunglasses - Optometrists Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Great staff. Friendly and knowledgeable. Good eye doc. Seemed to know his stuff. Only complaint is they're super aggressive trying to upsale their clients. Insurance covered my visit and contacts but they tried to pressure me into buying a bunch of extras. Uncomfortable. Didn't appreciate that. Other than that it was a decent experience. read more

Mark the optician is so helpful,and Lucy who was training was so sweet. Dr.Greg smith is great at what he does, all the equipment is top of the line and the office is squeaky clean. Normally places try to charge extra for retina photos but they include them because they really care about the health of your eye. I did suggest they call and follow-up to book yearly appointments for existing patience as a lot of other offices do. Also, I love the frames they carry! read more

Hello! I have been searching for over a year to locate a resource to repair my Tiffany prescription sun glasses. Because the model was / is no longer available. I kept striking out but I never gave up. Thankfully EyeGen Vision Center in Huntington Beach was able to repair my glasses for a very low fee and in a timely manner. Note: This was my first time in their office and one of their neighbor stores referred me to them. I would say I got lucky and so happy to have my glasses on. I highly recommend EyeGen Vision Center to anyone reading this. Tell a friend, Ms. Bobby Always Recruiting, Inc. read more

I had a great experience here. Wonderful customer service given to make several pairs of glasses. VERY friendly staff. I had my eye exam by Dr. Smith. He is patient, thorough, and kind. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an exam or to have glasses made. read more

I was referred to this eye clinic from a friend, who raved about the doctor and the eyewear collection. I haven't had an eye exam for over 3 years, so I was very impressed with my experience at EyeGen. Dr. Smith went to great lengths introducing me to contact lenses after several comprehensive eye exams. The staffs were also very patient and personable as I picked out some glasses frames for my next daily pair. Truly grateful to have found my new go-to optometrist and I would recommend this clinic for anyone searching for a dependable and friendly doctor! read more

I have and amazing experience, the staff is super friendly and professional and they have a lot of glasses options, i definitely recommend this place read more

This review is regarding the front office staff. The two front office representatives were not helpful or welcoming when my sister and I visited to purchase glasses and frames. When we asked if they would please tell us how her insurance would be covering on the frames the one female stated she was unable to locate her name within EyeMed. I will add that while my (severely sight challenged, entirely blind in one eye) sister browsed their glasses they offered no assistance, we were told to put the glasses she tried on in a box. Neither of them even got up from behind the counter. I even had to ask where the female glasses or if there was no gender differentiation. I was so mystified at their lack of assistance I walked outside and called my optometrist, (we've had for over 20 years) I asked if they could fit us in and they said sure stop in ASAP. I said I would after I took her home to review her insurance papers. We reviewed the policy and found out she has a reimbursement insurance. An hour later, we were greeted pleasantly by an immensely helpful new team member. With professional and personal attention my sister was guided through trying on many glasses and helped to narrow them down to three pairs. She purchased a beautiful pair of Tiffany frames as well as an additional lens, so this small sale produced approximately $1,500.00 in sales for the business. I also scheduled two additional eye exam appointments for my son and husband that also garnered additional sales for the same business. read more

I was very impressed with Dr. Greg, who was not only highly professional but extremely patient with all my problems, as he sought to find out the cause of the latest issue. I would recommend Dr. Smith without hesitation. His staff was equally helpful. I am thrilled to be one of his patients. read more

First time patient and was extremely impressed with the professionalism of the doctor and staff. Everyone was very kind and inviting, and the office itself was very clean and organized. My visit was super quick, and easy. I will be recommending this place to family and friends! read more

Both Dr smiths here are very thorough and friendly. They are very patient and do notbrey to rush you into a prescription for contacts that don't work. I came back for my second trial set to make sure everything is okay and they didn't make one stink. I also love my glasses i got from here last year and will get another pair done soon. read more

Amazing. I was away from home and they last minute got me my contacts. Super kind people !!!Thank you !!!

This place is perfect. Great service, great people and a great atmosphere. I liked it so much I scheduled a time for my husband. I would definitely recommend it to all my friends. read more

Talk about a patient and professional doctor. Dr . Smith took his time with my, very nervous, God daughter while he did her exam. He incorrporated humor and even a few magic tricks to put her at ease. His staff is also very kind and welcoming. Thank you doctor Smith! read more

I recently went to EyeGen Vision for an eye exam and saw Dr Greg Smith. He is truly a professional that is patient, thorough and very knowledgeable. I wanted to try contacts and he was willing to try different ones and never made me feel rushed. He has the newest and greatest equipment as will as his office is very clean and modern. I would highly recommend Dr. Smith for your eye exams- you will not be disappointed! read more

I went in for my first ever eye exam. The staff is extremely friendly and professional. I was unsure what to expect on my first eye check up, but I felt comfortable throughout my visit. The staff and Dr. Smith kept things light and jovial, but still very informative. The clinic has a bright, clean, and comfortable atmosphere. I will be coming back here for the foreseeable future. read more

I am a first time patient, and was very impressed with the very modern office. Dr Greg Smith and his staff were very professional, yet personable. They explained every procedure in clear terms and explained the insurance coverage very well. No pressure on the upsale at all, only explained the options and the costs. 100% recommended. read more

The office and decor is clean and modern. Office staff is great! Dr. Smith has a great professional manner and takes his time explaining the exams and clinical reasoning behind them. This was a great experience having picked them solely on my insurance! They won't have a wide variety of frames like the major chains do but the customer service is worth it. read more

The eye doctors and staff were extremely professional. The equipment to check my eyes was very up to date--highly computerized modern office. Very clean office too! I highly recommend this office. Front office staff was very helpful in helping me select my eyeglasses. They even took pictures of me on a computer screen with various eye frames, so that I could see the various frames on myself. And even send the pictures instantly to my friends so that they too could help me select the right eyewear. read more

I previously worked at a Vision Center so I know when I have a good Eye Doctor and Dr. Smith is exceptional. He has the latest technology and is very good at explaining everything. I had issues with dry eyes and he helped me and I no longer have these issues. I also bought a pair of glasses from him I am very happy with and his assistant is also very good to work with. read more

The best service! I needed a walk in place and called other places and they said it was by appointment only. I called this place and they said come on over! I arrived 5 mins later and Lucy attended me. She was amazing! The equipment was top of the line and the exam they did was more than any other place I've ever gone before! I was very happy. Dr. smith was very kind and gave me some great tips. When I was picking out my glasses they were so patient with me because I am horrible with choosing. Lucy is so great at what she does she knew which ones I was going to choose from the get go. Both Dr. Smith and Lucy were very kind, professional, and overall great people to be around. I am not surprised that they have 5 Stars at all! I wanted glasses that were over my budget and they did what they could to get me the best deal! I don't care if I live in placentia! This has become my new fav spot. They have great quality and very pretty glasses! I wanted them all! Thank you both for helping me!!! I will def be returning! read more

Had a terrible experience here. Finished my eye exam asked for my prescription. They told me no, when by law after the eye exam is done they are REQUIRED to give you the prescription I shouldn't even have to ask. Reported to BBB and still waiting on my prescription to be emailed to me. Also Dr. Smith was very rude to me. Avoid at all costs read more

You guys, this place is THE BEST! This place is easy to find, it's located in the Huntington Harbor Mall next to Trader Joes and the UPS store, it's like a 5 minute drive from the beach. I've never worn contacts before, so I came here because they were the closest eye place covered my insurance. The two staff members and the doctor (sorry I forget their names :O) are super nice and go above and beyond to be helpful, both over the phone and in person. It took me almost 40 minutes to learn how to wear contacts with the doctor and a staff member offering helpful pointers and suggestions for how to insert contacts. This place is brand new and has a very clean and friendly feel, not at all corporate, you can tell the staff and doctor all get along well and genuinely care. The best thing about this new eye place (and new places in general) is that when you make an appointment, you are the only person there so 100% of their attention goes to helping you. Seriously, theses guys are super nice. GO HERE. The doctor and staff go out of their way to help you make your insurance work for you. If you are going here for glasses, they don't have the hugest selection, but then again, I rarely get glasses from the same place where I get my eye exam, since I like to shop around online and at other stores for the cheapest pair. Plus, regular eye glasses stores (this one included) charge like $150 for lenses, while you can get the same lenses online for like $60. That being said, it took me 5 minutes to find a pair of frames I liked (around $200 without lenses), looked good on me, and fit well. (The staff give genuinely helpful comments too in case you aren't sure if the glasses look good or not.) I can only wear super light-weight frames, and they had quite a few non-nerdy pairs for young people to choose from. read more

Dr. Greg Smith has been the most helpful and thoughtful optometrist that has cared for me. Since being diagnosed with glaucoma at the age of 24 I have never had anyone take the time and effort to educate me on my visions status as he did. Very professional! I strongly recommend Dr. Smith and I will let everyone know about my wonderful experience. read more

I was disappointed this Dr would not complete my prescription so I could buy glasses online. I clearly pointed this out before the appointment. Do not utilize unless you intend to buy glasses only from this merchant. I suggest you get prescriptions at a big box store where pricing is more reasonable on frames. read more
