They said they'd take a look at them so I assumed they'd see what they could do and tell me how much it'd cost to have them repaired what they did was hand them back to me about 20 min later literally perfectly repaired and when I asked how much they waved it off and said "no charge just glad we could help" I personally think stuff like this serves as testament to who they are in how they treat others and they could not have treated me nicer or been more magnanimous and kind and places like this deserve all the love and all the business. Safe to say if I ever need a new pair of glasses I'm coming here and believe you should too this place is special.

UCI Medical eye institute in Irvine (love the free parking thank you!) gives a tremendously thorough exam, and Dr Garg spotted the real vision issue that Dr Sedri of Newport Beach Eye Institute completely missed. They both were provided with the exact same classic symptoms: "really blurry in the morning improves after 1 to 2 hours." UCI intake asked every detail of my health and two Doctors reviewed all my symptoms - refreshing! All the staff at UCI were so energetic and you can tell they love their jobs and their patients. So grateful God orchestrated a second opinion - I was not planning to get another opinion just happened organically from a conversation at a church dinner with my friend a retired emergency room Dr who is also getting cataract surgery. I HIGHLY recommend seeing UCI Dr Sumit "Sam" Garg. He saved me from the wrong surgery, wrong lens, and horrible. unnecessary expense. UCI is one of the few places in Orange County that is not a cataract money grab mill. If only every doctor would take such care for the well being of their patients. Also UCI is quite a bit less expensive than the 4 quotes i got from other Ophthalmologist, about 1/3rd less m, for multi focal lens or EOD lens. Turns out i am not a good candidate for multi focal due to a genetic, progressive eye disease, cornea epithelial dystrophy aka Fuch's Dystrophy. See attached photo of tge back of the cornea lining. Also my cataracts are mild to moderate, NOT one grade less the severe! Quite a different story at UCI!!! They are soooo amazing. Dr Garg of UCI took great care and time to explain his plan to improve my vision. Maybe cataract surgery down the road, and due to my condition, definitely not multi focal lens which would exacerbate its weakness of night time lights halo effect. Everyone talks up cataract surgery as it is the most common surgery performed. However, it is still surgery and the outcome affects your most precious eyesight! Go to the best. I wish all the Ophthalmologists in Orange would be as conscientious as Dr Garg ( and the other you woman Dr at UCI who also examined my eyes.) I'd give them 10 stars if I could. Best to all who are seeking better eyesight and taking the time to read reviews.

Apparently in 2013, they…read morerebranded as the Hill and then more recently the Hill has been bought out by Barnes and Nobles. New students may not know the difference if they did not know our former bookstore, but as an Alumni I notice the corporate effects making our once beloved UCI Bookstore less unique and more expensive. I recently came back for a Book Signing for my former Vietnamese Professor for the Vietnamese Stories that is written in Vietnamese and translated into English. It is a great language tool for those who are studying either languages. It has great insight into the Vietnamese culture and traditions, as long as you keep in mind that the origins of these stories were from many eras ago. The Book Signing event was nicely set up and I was able to meet one of their managers who was a fellow Anteater Alumni too. The staff was very sweet and accommodating to the event. Since the staff is still UC students, they are still friendly and sweet -- for the most part. My issue is with the merchandise and pricing. The books here are probably over 25% more expensive than if you were to buy it somewhere else. It is sad that some students who do not have the time or knowledge to buy their books elsewhere will be extorted to buy their books here. Every year the bookstore will buy your books used for dirt cheap and then resell it for barely less than a new book. I am sure things will only get worst now that the bookstore has completely gone corporate on us. Other than buying a few of my respectable Professor's book to support him, I was not too interested to buy anything else. I actually want to buy a few more of these copies for friends and family who want to learn more about Vietnamese culture, but I will probably order it online. Zot Zot!
