    Five stars in service, prices, insurance dealing and high quality products overall with very skilled optometrist in house catering to clients from all walks of life. They have large numbers of Asian American staffs who cater to Asian clientele but also have many different products that are attractive to all other ethnic groups! I truly admire their service motto firmly rooted in customer care and common sense. They are there to serve the customers and not to make dollars for themselves. They greet you quickly and try their best to accomplish everything you need in the most efficient way and save you money. I vote five stars for the rarest and best optometry shop in OC.

    Context: Moved here recently and was looking for an eye doctor to update my glasses & eye contacts prescription. Office: Clean, organized, modern Staff: Accommodating, friendly, and lovely Doctor Visit: WOW. Dr. Vincent Chen was extremely thorough and kind. He really went above and beyond to go through my concerns. And just explaining things in general. I never felt pressured or judged. It was overall the best experience. Overall: Recommend this place 10/10 and happy to have found my OC eye doctor.

    Good selection of frames

    I visited Golden Irvine Optometry for Presbyopia concern. I've been to this shop a few times in the past and always had great experience with services provided by Mimi and her team. This time is no exception. Mimi helped setup my appointment with optometrist, and helped me choose the appropriate frame and glasses. Received my glasses in a couple of weeks. Pretty awesome! I no longer have that "senior moment" when reading off mobile phone screen or restaurant menu. Good to feel young again.....

    Saw the 5-star rating on Yelp with a handful of reviews. They definitely delivered!…read more Due for my yearly eye exam and not wanting to drive far away from home to get it, I decided to look for an optometrist closer to me. I came across this place and after reading the reviews, I decided to give it a shot. Communication started via email by inquiring if they accept my insurance. They do, and they advised me when on the soonest I could make an appointment (when my 1 year since the last appointment is reached). I went ahead and made an appointment for my comprehensive eye exam and they emailed me the necessary forms (new patient, etc.) to complete prior to my appointment day. Reponse time was quick! Fast forward to appointment day (today). I walked in and was greeted by a friendly person at the desk who accepted my completed forms. I waited for a short period of time then I was called up to do the usual testing (peripheral vision, etc.) on the machines. She also did a iWellness Retina Exam (optional, additional fee, pretty cool to see a cross section of your eyeballs) to assess the health of my eye. I didn't catch her name, but the person who helped me was very friendly and helped me feel at ease. Once the tests were done, I was walked over to the neighboring room for the comprehensive eye exam with the optometrist. The optometrist who saw me, Sophia, was awesome! She's very knowledgeable (as she should be) and answered all the questions that I had. She provided helpful information to take care of my eyes and my Meibomian glands. Thorough, friendly, and professional are just a few of the many words that could describe her. I can imagine parking might be difficult during lunch time on the weekdays, but anytime before or after should be OK. They are closed every Sunday and tuesday. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a forever optometrist!

I came in about a month ago to get contact lenses for the first time. After seeing the perfect reviews, I decided to give Optometry Corner in Irvine a try despite the higher price for an eye exam. I was told that my contact lenses would arrive a week after my eye exam. After a week I didn't receive a call and when I called to check in, I was told that my contact lenses were delayed for a month and then was told that it was the standard wait time. So I waited, a few weeks passed by and then I received a phone call that my left eye lenses have arrived and if I already picked up my right eye. No I haven't, because they haven't arrived yet. So another week went by and I finally got a call that my right eye lenses have arrived and I can finally come and pick up my trial lenses. Keep in mind, this is my first time getting contact lenses. When I come into the store, they hand me a little brown bag with my lenses and tell me "that's it". After arriving home and realizing the difficulty of wearing lenses, I call the office of Optometry Corner to schedule a training session. The girl mentions that since it was my first time I should've had that scheduled but due to a new hire and miscommunication, I will have to wait to see a doctor for the training. I hate to be on the side of negativity or even leave a bad review on a business that requires hard work, but unfortunately the incompetence of basic customer service interaction has been ridiculously frustrating and has worn my patience thin. For now, I will see how things go moving forward with the upcoming appointment.

My overall visit was great, and Amayrani (Amy) stood out in particular. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful without being pushy. I appreciate her ability to help me find frames that flatter my face shape and how clearly she explained the differences between lens options, tints, coatings, and related technology. I'm the kind of buyer who wants to get granular with the details of what I'm spending my money on; Amy delivers on that front. She also made it easy to understand how my EyeMed insurance applied to different frame and lens combinations. I think it is worth mentioning that she answered many of my technical coverage questions in Spanish. This part of my visit felt very straightforward. Overall, this location has a strong team and I think Amy's expertise adds a nice sparkle to the customer experience. I'll gladly keep coming back.

    Located in the same shopping center as a Target, Dr Parekh was very friendly and nice. What I felt…read morelike was lacking as a first time patient was the staff in general introducing themselves and welcoming me as a patient to Pearle Vision. As someone who has worked in hospitality for years, these are service basics folks. I have no idea the name of the lady at the front who I actually talked to that checked me in and did all of the initial scans. The pace of service was SO quick here which I appreciated since I was there on my lunch break, but felt very uncomfortably transactional. At the very end, I also just asked for copies of my prescription rather than ordering my contacts at this office, and from my past experience, the office sends an email to the patient with prescription and itemized receipt of services performed or at least will offer if I want something printed or emailed. Not just a credit card receipt and printed copies of my prescription. Regardless as I asked for a copy of my prescription, you could see the despair on the front desk lady's face and then they were trying so desperately to match the yearly supply of contact lens pricing to Costco by even trying to throw in free shipping and additional boxes that they even called me just after I had hopped in my car and was already on the road. I'm sorry but that's a major turnoff in many ways and comes across as desperate. While I appreciated the offer of trying to price match Costco pricing and incentivize with the manufacturer's rebate, this wasn't my first rodeo, and I can definitely say no optometrist's office has been able to match Costco's contact lens pricing for a year supply. The exam with the doctor itself was professional and fine, but I was not a fan of the experience as a whole which just felt like they wanted to get my money and get me out the door.

I would recommend Dr Feinerman to everyone and am very grateful to have had this life-changing procedure.

    I've been wearing glasses and contact lenses for over 20 years . It was tiresome having to take off…read moremy contacts everyday; including every time I showered, went swimming, took a nap, and before bedtime. The expenses for contact lenses, disinfecting solution, moistening drops, and annual eye exams kept adding up year after year. It was time I get LASIK while I'm still young because it maximizes years of contacts-free living and saves money over time. I did extensive research on LASIK providers and chose Dr. Feinerman for four reasons: 1) He did successful ICL surgery for my wife and she's had 20/20 vision ever since 2) He takes care of you from A to Z: He personally does all consultations, eye surgeries, and follow-up visits 3) He has over 20 years of experience and was a Chair of Ophthalmology at Hoag 4) He has many known celebrity/influencer clients (one of them Kobe, RIP). At my consultation, his assistants did diagnostic tests on my eyes to determine my candidacy. Dr. Feinerman said I qualified for Wavelight Plus LASIK (as opposed to traditional). The difference is that Wavelight Plus has higher rates of achieving 20/20 vision or better, and improved night vision. Not everyone can qualify for this so I chose this one. On the day of my surgery, it was done at his vision center and took less than an hour. I chose classical music to play in the background. My eyes were disinfected and numbed with solution. I laid on the operating table as Dr. Feinerman did the procedure and talked with me every step of the way. It didn't hurt at all and I was surprised it was quick ~15 mins. The moment it was done, I could see clearly as if I was wearing contact lenses. I was given a home care kit to take home and follow the schedule of eye drops to ensure my eyes recover. The next day I came in for a follow-up, did some vision tests, and Dr. Feinerman said I now have 20/20 vision. That was less than 24 hours from surgery so I can only hope for even better than 20/20 soon. For those those of you who are tired of wearing glasses and contacts, I highly suggest you invest in yourself and get LASIK. If you qualify, stop by Dr. Feinerman's office and I promise you won't regret it. I'm glad I did!

    2nd update in response to the business owner, Scott: Scott,…read moreplease don't deflect my concerns by referring to privacy laws and your office records. My concern is the lack of response and proper follow-up from your staff. To clarify, my original review was regarding an incident involving my husband on 9/16. He called your office because his previous emails and text messages regarding his medical records had not received a response. No one answered his phone call. Instead, he received a text instructing him to communicate with the office by text--even though he had already been trying to reach your staff by both email and text without getting a response to his request. As for my own experience, I have also had difficulty getting my questions properly addressed. I have received repetitive or generic text responses that did not actually answer what I was asking. Simply sending a text within 24 hours does not mean that a patient's question or request has been addressed. We have been patients at your office for over seven years, and this review reflects our actual recent experiences. The issue is not whether your records show that a text was sent. The issue is the lack of meaningful responses, follow-up, and communication when patients are trying to get assistance. Rather than focusing on defending your office's response-time records, I hope you will take this feedback seriously and improve how your staff communicates with and follows up with patients. Update -To the business owner, Scott: I would like to clarify that the incident regarding the unanswered emails, texts, and medical record request happened to my husband over the past two weeks. As for my own experience, every time I have communicated with your staff by text, I have received the same repetitive responses rather than a clear answer addressing my actual question or concern. This has made the communication feel extremely unhelpful and frustrating. Scott, I strongly suggest that you provide better training to your staff on how to communicate with patients, respond to questions directly, and properly follow up on requests. After being patients at your office for over 7 years, we know the level of service and communication we used to receive, and unfortunately, our recent experiences have been very disappointing. Original post- I hate to leave a negative review, especially since we have been coming to this optometry office for over 7 years. Our communication with the staff had always been fine until recently. For the past two weeks, we have been emailing and texting the office to request a copy of our latest medical records. After receiving no response, we called the office and left a voicemail, but no one answered. We then received a text asking us to communicate with them by text instead. It is extremely frustrating and ridiculous that we were asked to text them after no one answered our call, yet they still did not respond to our text messages. We have continued trying to contact the office by phone, email, and text, but have not received a response. As of today, we still have not received the medical records we requested. After being patients here for more than 7 years, this experience has been extremely disappointing. Obtaining your own medical records should not require repeated emails, text messages, and phone calls over a period of weeks. I hope the office takes this feedback seriously and improves its communication and responsiveness. For anyone considering this optometry office, I recommend taking our recent experience into consideration.
