    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 had a great experience at Pearle Vision. Dr. Parekh is extremely thorough, and I felt confident…read morethat my prescription was accurate and that my eyes were healthy after I left. The staff is equally thorough and helpful. Brian helped me find a new frame that would hold the lenses from the old frames that I had broken. That is a perfect solution until the new lenses arrive. He also told me about the discounts and incentives that made it possible for me to get a separate pair of prescription sunglasses. I recommend Pearle Vision Irvine very highly.

    I've purchased glasses from this Pearle Vision location before, and after today's routine eye exam,…read moreI'm happy to report that the team at this location maintains excellent service year over year. 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.

My calendar showed an appointment that morning, but I never received the usual check-in form. I called to confirm, and the manager said my appointment was on schedule--so I planned to come at 11 AM. Then he told me another customer was running overtime and suggested I come at 12:20 instead, which already seemed disorganized. When I arrived, the doctor was still busy, so I waited quietly. The manager asked me to browse frames, which was fine, but when I mentioned my wife would come to help pick one, he suddenly got annoyed and asked how long she'd take--while I was still waiting for my turn. He said he needed to leave for lunch and started lecturing me about remembering appointments, even though I had confirmed and showed up on time. I tried to stay polite, but he walked off and left me in the showroom. Overall, a strange and unpleasant experience. The doctors seem good, but the front-end management really needs improvement. Maybe the manager just had a bad day -- but when I came here to post my review, I noticed many others had similar experiences with the same manager being rude and gaslighting customers. Yikes
