I had been looking for a new optometrist when I decided to stay in San Diego. I use to travel to the Bay Area to go to my old optometrist but couldn't keep taking time off to go so I figured it was time. I stumbled across Dr. Hom over Yelp and put an inquiry though his website. I am so glad that I decided to go with Dr. Hom. I feel like I am in excellent care with him. I struggle with seasonal allergies and occasional dry eyes and he listens to every concern I have and tries to work out a solution with me. I started having very tender eyes out of no where and his staff was able to squeeze me in for an appointment. With his recommendations it cleared up within a few days. I would recommend Dr. Hom if you are in the market for a new optometrist in the Sorrento Valley area. read more

Do not go to America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses at Clairemont Town Square!! I went for contact lense prescription and was charged $50 when exam should have been covered and then they tried to charge me $86 for a six pack of contacts even after I told them I was going to get my contacts from Costco. I think they take advantage of people on Medicare. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else! read more

I have been seeing Dr Hom for several years and I would never ever go anywhere else. He takes time to go through the examination and then walks you through the results. He is very detailed and always sees you with a smile. I can't say enough about him. He is a true gem. read more

Me and my family under care of Dr. Hom few years. And we are very happy with him and his office staff, especially Ms. Debra. But this time I decided to order glasses in Costco, because Costco had sale. It was a huge mistake. Costco screw up my glasses as much as possible. I had 1.5 month of headaches and dizziness, was not able to do my work, multiple trips to Costco trying to fix. I returned them glasses and ordered from Dr. Hom office. Glasses from Dr. Hom's office were so comfortable for my eyes, no headaches and dizziness, very short time for adjusting. Beside that office of Dr. Hom used my insurance more efficiently, and I had glasses with more features. Also Dr. Hom always gives me very good advices about preventing cataract and retina detachments. Excellent service overall. And thanks for all reviewers as well, because I found Dr. Hom through reading reviews here. read more

I went to see him for annual eye's check and get glasses. I live in Temecula and it's worth to drive to see him in San Diego. I have been seeing him almost 10 years. I have complications for my eyes. Other optometrists don't understand my need. Dr.Hom is always patient and friendly. He spent decent time with the patients. Thank you for being there. read more

I cannot review the skills or quality of care, as I chose not to receive service here. I went elsewhere because of their lack of flexibility in their approach to providing service. The other business I chose was able to meet all my needs instead. read more

I really like Dr. Hom, but he can be impossible to get in touch with. His office only has one line and this past week I've tried almost every day to get through and each time it has been busy. There is no voicemail and no email or online options provided. I finally got through today and mentioned it and his receptionist was just like "that's the way it is." read more

Very professional, efficient process for selecting new frames and filling my eyeglass prescription affordably.

Came in for an exam, new eyeglass lenses, prescription safety glasses, and contacts. I found out about Dr. Hom's office through my work's prescription lab safety glasses program. Dr. Hom was great at communicating. He answered all my questions and didn't try to upsell me. It took a few trials for me to find a pair of contacts (first time wearer), but Dr. Hom put in effort to get me the best pair for my vision needs. My insurance only covered either glasses or contacts, not both, but I was able to purchase new glasses lenses and reuse my old glasses frames to save out of pocket costs. He even rushed my glasses for me so I can have them in time for a trip. My insurance covered part of my contacts, and he also gave me a rebate coupon so the cost of my lenses were even lower! Dr. Hom and his staff were great. Debbie was amazing and extremely helpful! The office is smaller and not super fancy, but I definitely found his office to be more affordable and personable than the big chains. Very close to my workplace so dropping in was also very convenient. Thanks Dr. Hom and team! read more

I had an eye problem this morning and decided that it might be best to see an eye doctor. I searched around on Yelp and saw that Dr. Hom had great reviews on Yelp and decided to call in to schedule an appointment. Even though Dr. Hom was fully booked today, Eileen was super sweet and was able to squeeze me in. The office is clean and everyone is friendly. What I liked was the speed and efficiency of the place. They didn't overschedule patients so that people were waiting outside forever, but instead they really do take care of their patients and allot the quality time that is needed for each patient. Dr. Hom is knowledgeable and explained everything to me. I'm so glad that I came to see Dr. Hom, I'll definitely be back whenever I need eye care and I would recommend all of my friends to visit him as well! read more

I have been a prisoner of Lenscrafters for years. Getting their so called 50% discount and yet paying hundreds and hundreds of dollars. I found Dr. Hom in the building we work in. Made an appointment a few weeks out. I asked the ladies if they had cancellations, to please let me know. They are on TOP OF IT!! I got in a week early!! Dr. Hom is SOOOO nice!! Gentle soul and the BEST part--no air blown in my eye!! LOL!! He has made getting a full eye health exam so easy! They have a great selection of glasses. The entire staff of ladies are like your friends. They are relaxed and you can see they enjoy their jobs! So pleasant and such a great vibe when you are in there. Dr. Hom listened to my concerns, working on a computer all day, and these glasses are the best I've had in years. Yes--this is the go to place for eye exams and glasses or whatever your eye needs are!! Thanks Dr. Hom and staff!! You guys totally rock!! read more

Went there for some eye exam and also to get a new pair of glasses to replace my broken ones. Doc. Greg Hom is really an excellent optometrist. Friendly, patient and professional. Definitely recommend. And I just signed up on yelp just to give him the 5 stars. read more

Dr. Hom is an excellent optometrist. My family has been going to him for over 20 years! He's very thorough and takes his time in doing your check up. His comprehensive exams make you feel confident you have had the proper care for your vision health. If there are any problems out of his expertise, he has excellent referrals. Highly trust and recommend for your vision care. read more

I received an eye exam from Dr. Hom and found him to be professional, patient and friendly. His staff is knowledgeable and helpful in finding the perfect eyeglass frame and delivers the glasses in ten days. Great service and efficient team. I would highly recommended Dr. Hom for all your optometric needs. read more

Seven years later and my original review still stands. Dr. Hom and his staff have worked tirelessly to keep my vision crystal clear. His investment in technology to ensure the most accurate, comprehensive diagnosis and examination possible, and the patience, care, and compassion his entire office so generously offers is unparalleled. "Where once I was blind, now I see" Thank you, Gregory, for your most excellent service. read more

I'm just like all the other patients of Dr. Hom's when it comes to his exceptional knowledge and treatment of patients. He is absolutely the very best in his field of eye care. And, he knows when a specialist is necessary so that you get the care needed for protecting your eyesight. His office does not work with Medicare, but out of pocket expense is well worth spending on the service Dr. Hom provides. He and his staff (Debbie) I've known for a very long time and they are all very pleasant to work with. read more

Dr Hom and Eileen are the best! I have gone to Dr. Hom for regular eye exams for a couple of years and have always been very impressed by the high standard of care I have received. Dr. Hom asks good questions and is a good listener. It is very clear he knows his stuff! This morning my eye got scratched and became irritated. I called the office before it opened and left a message. Eileen called me back promptly and offered to fit me in before Dr. Hom's first scheduled appointment. I went right over and was seen immediately. Dr. Hom gave me excellent care, as always, and I am feeling better already. I highly recommend Dr. Hom! read more

Have you ever had bad experiences at the eye doctor? Yup me too. I have childhood memories of getting my pupils dilated while nurses holding me down. Getting fitted for bifocals because eye doctors are too dumb or lazy to understand the nature and severity of my astigmatism. Your answers are all here! Dr. Hom is THE BEST EYEDOCTOR EVER!!! So I came to Dr. Hom about 5 years ago for safety glasses, gas permeable contacts, and eyeglasses. Any optometrist/opthamologist will be challenged since I have a very difficult prescription due to severe astigmatism. Dr. Hom was very professional, kind, sincere, and smart. I tend to ask a lot of questions and he answered them honestly and thoroughly. He fitted me with work safety glasses, a pair of regular eyeglasses and contacts. It took two pairs of contacts to get the right fit for my class 4 astigmatism but he even delivered them to me at work because of the "hassle". Obviously he truly cares about his patients. Five years and a new job later I decided I needed new glasses and contacts. Five years? I know boo on me. Time flies when you're lazy. So I went to a different eye doctor covered in my new network. Had a HORRIBLE experience! (that review on that eye doc to be done later) So I basically walked out of that Dr's office, went back to work, and looked up Dr. Hom on the internet. I immediately called and he remembered me after five years!!!!!! He even remembered my difficult prescription and said "I have a cancellation tomorrow-want to come in then?" Same as five years before. Totally nice, pofessional, a true expert-- basically the greatest doctor I have ever been to. I know he will schedule off peak office hours to accomodate your personal schedule and he offers kids eye exams as well. I'm referring him to everyone I know. He truly deserves 5 stars and more. Now I don't have to cringe at the thought of another eye exam. Neither do you. http://www.dr-hom.optometry.net/PracticeTemplates/index.aspx?user_data_id=640&menu_id=903 read more

As usual, Dr. Hom is AWESOME! I wholeheartedly agree with Tanya S. He is the nicest optometrist I've met and he's extremely good at what he does, which is figuring out what my eyesight needs. My eyesight has stabilized over the last few years, and some of the other optometrists that I've had were completely incompetent, ignoring my concerns and prescribing me the wrong contacts and eyeglasses prescriptions that worsened the condition of my eyes. Dr. Hom is different, he takes notes as we talk, not missing any details of our conversation. And he remembers all of the details year after year. He's that caring. Also he never hesitates to answer my questions and doesn't rush through the exam which is extremely nice. Also he never tries to upsell his products and services. When I opt out of certain exams he never criticizes my choices and only gives out his professional opinion without pressure. Plus, he and his staff work on Saturdays when the entire building goes off work. He put some signs around his buildings to make sure that his patients get to see him at the office on Saturdays without confusion. It also helps that many of my ex-coworkers recommended him when I asked who to see for optometrist. Apparently he's very popular on Yelp, too! I'm not surprised. Btw, they have the somewhat nerdy looking 'Gunnar' computer eyeglasses demonstration set up if you want to try them on. I did, and loved how they made my eyes feel while watching the bright screens. I'm seriously considering to purchase them in the future... read more

Dr. Hom is the best! I have seen other optometrists and my glasses just didn't correct my vision the way they should have. I saw Dr. Hom and will never see anybody else! My glasses are perfect now. He is also very kind and patient. Today he taught me how to put contact lenses in which I have never been able to do. It took me a long time! He was so patient and helpful. Thank you Dr. Hom! read more

Came here for the first time yesterday, and I have to say that Dr Hom is a top notch optometrist, and his staff are excellent. I needed a quick appointment, and they were really great at going out of their way to accommodate. Everyone was friendly professional and prompt. They checked my insurance to find out exactly what was covered, let me know exactly how much any additional services would cost. I love when there are no surprises, which is generally not the case with most offices. The exam was as comprehensive as it possibly could have been. I will definitely be using his office every time I need to, and will be sending friends and fam here too. read more

My friend was panicked because his right eye became blurred and everything looked yellow. Since he doesn't have insurance and doesn't speak English he didn't know what to do. We liked to help him andWe found out dr. Hom and called to Dr 's office to ask about his symptoms and if he can see a doctor. Dr. Hom arranged the time for my friend and did various careful examinations to diagnose him. It took 1 hour to find out his specific diagnosis. He explained it very well and gave him an honesty opinion. We were so relieved. In addition he charged only 60 dollars after all tests and exams. We were really thankful . I think Dr Hom has a heart for patients. read more

I went in to see Dr. Hom yesterday for the first time, and he was fantastic! I was very impressed with him and his staff - I felt that they really took the time to make sure that everything was done right - all the way down to helping me pick out frames for my glasses. I will absolutely be using him for all of my eye care from here on out! read more

Dr. Hom is simply exceptional. He is such a kind, warm, and professional Doctor. I have been seeing him for almost 5 years now since I moved to San Diego. His office is convenient to get to and parking is never an issue. Debbie who runs the front office is so sweet and pleasant...always! I have never had to wait more than 5 min for my appointments. If you want a very nice eye doctor who always delivers then come here. He's also great with kids too! read more

Gregory G Hom, OD, MPH - Nice frame selection - Optometrists Near Me - San Diego, California

Always a great service. Dr Hom is gentle, soft spoken and ver professional. We have been a patient of his for 3 years and he's great.

I came here for a new glasses prescription. As a new patient, I was happy to hear all my insurance information had already been prepared upon arriving at my appointment. The eye exam was very comprehensive and included dilation and pressure test (which I never had at my previous optometrist). Dr. Hom was very easy to talk to and I felt very comfortable in his office. You can definitely tell he is a very knowledgeable and caring OD who is very thorough and detailed. I really appreciated that a lot of the frame prices were very affordable, and there was a good variety to choose from. I usually takes me a while for me to find something that suits my facial structure and the staff was very patient with me. Edit - My glasses came in really quick! picked them up in just three days read more

As other reviewers state, Dr. Hom is professional, friendly and meticulous. What I appreciated most was that he thought about would be best for me, in terms of product and price. He didn't try to sell me on new glasses (he told me I didn't need them as my current pair is less than a year old). Nor did he upsell me on contact lenses - rather he asked what my usage was and recommended that I go with daily disposables since I would only need a couple of boxes for occasional wear. Thank you Dr. Hom! read more

I have been going to Dr. Hom off and on for several years based on a referral from UCSD's Shiley Eye Center. I have only experienced the highest degree of professionalism and patient care with Dr. Hom. Dr. Hom takes the time to explain things in a very easy to understand manner. He has never tried to upsell contacts, glasses or extra services. He will acknowledge if his suggestion is a good idea, a good idea that can wait for a while, or just a good idea to think about. And I have never waited more than a few minutes in the waiting area. What is really amazing is even when I don't come in on a regular basis, he still remembers me and details about my life. All in all Dr. Hom is a great physician. read more

Dr Hom is an amazing optometrist. He was very helpful, friendly and very professional. I definitely will be seeing him again. I really enjoyed talking to him about photography. My co-worker informed me about Dr. Hom and I plan to spread the word. read more

Dr. Hom is the best. I have only been to one other optometrist for my entire life- so after moving to SD I was a bit nervous to find a new optometrist. Dr. Hom takes his time in getting to know his clients, spending as much time with me to go over my previous eye history and contacts and questions. His front office staff is so kind and always more than willing to help me with a spare contact when I have run out or can't get home in time to get a new one. read more

It's very easy to find an optometrist for an annual checkup, but it rare to find an eye doctor as caring and informative as Dr. Hom. He is very accommodating and was willing to see me on a Saturday morning even though I was a new patient. He is also VERY aware of the specifics of your insurance coverage, making sure to not to throw unnecessary procedures at you-- unlike many, many other optometrists and dentists I have experienced. He took his time and was very willing to answer all my questions. I never felt rushed. He is very knowledgeable, caring, and thorough. I feel that I received SUPERB service at his office and would highly recommend him to all my friends and family. If you're looking for a doctor that keeps up with the latest technology, gives you analytical answers when you ask for it, thinks outside of the box and doesn't just do the "1, 2"... I beg you to visit his office. Without a doubt, I had the best experience with Dr. Hom and I can tell you that I will not be going to any other optometrist in San Diego!! read more

I can't believe I haven't left a review for Dr. Hom yet! I've been seeing Dr. Hom for over 16 years now, as he was associated with a lot of Biotech companies when I was working in that industry way back when. Well, my husband and school-aged daughter and other family members are now his patients! He did the referral and follow up for my husband's Lasik long ago. He is personable, attentive and always has the latest technology to incorporate into his exams and assessments. His staff, Debbie and Aileen are wonderful and have been there for a long time. I cannot bring myself to find another OD, while I may occasionally purchase my glasses elsewhere, my doctor will always remain Greg Hom! Give Dr. Hom a try, he will turn out to be your lifelong optometrist for you and your family. (I've been a patient of his for soooo long, I think he'll be the one to prescribe my mid life reading glasses/bi-focals... ) read more

Excellent experience with Dr Hom. He is well mannered and thorough. The ladies at the office and pleasant and helpful. I would say this is one of the best and most comprehensive eye exams I have had. The only negative is that the office is tricky to find. No signage up front and the building looks like a corporate office building. So make sure you get the instructions on how to get there if it's your first time read more

I've had Dr. Hom fit me for both RGP and soft contact lenses. My eyes, due to low astigmatisms, were actually more difficult to find matches for because most contact lens makers don't bother accommodating for lower corrections. Dr. Hom patiently worked with me to find the perfect fit; I believe I ended up trying close to 10 different brands. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an optometrist. He and his staff are very professional; they schedule followups promptly, call with reminder, and are always willing to work with your schedule. He is also always very upfront about cost, leaving nothing hidden. Friendly, patient, professional, and always willing to take time to answer questions fully. He also manages to do all this in a quick and concise manner so you're in and out in no time at all. read more

Dr. Hom is very knowledgeable and gives me confidence that all my questions are answered correctly. I wanted computer glasses, and he was able to service me via several emails and phone calls until I could decide on exactly what I wanted. read more

I have been going to Dr. Hom for just over a year now. I wear contacts and eye glasses. Dr. Hom and his staff are always friendly and professional. And I like how Dr. Hom goes the extra mile to ensure that my eye health is up to date and accurate. His knowledge and expertise is reassuring. Because it just seems that the older I get, the less I can see! It has bee refreshing and a relief to keep my eyes in good health. I am so glad that I have not given in to wearing readers! It's much better to get the care you need. They are accommodating and I recommend you check them out asap. read more

When I called as a new patient, the person taking the call insisted that I needed to get the last four digits of the social security number of the person providing the insurance coverage. This isn't true, as a name and date of birth are sufficient. This is a common misperception but this office pressed the issue rather hard. In addition, they didn't call me with info on whether my insruance company would cover the visit or not until I called them back late in the day and reminded them about the issue. read more

I visited Dr. Hom based off of Yelp reviews and was not disappointed. He's a Berkeley grad, and very nice and professional. He mailed me my contacts when they were ready, which was great. But here's the best - although I've seen several optometrists over the past few years and told them all about a vision issue that didn't seem to be getting corrected with new lenses, Dr. Hom was the first to diagnose it correctly and give me astigmatic contacts. I feel like I'm seeing in HD now compared to before, and am very thankful! Based on this experience, I would have to concur that Dr. Hom is THE BEST EYEDOCTOR EVER!!! read more
