One of the best experince ever. in addtion to that the laides at the front deak super nice and proffesional. read more

This is the best one! Just call and make appointment. Let Dr. Hwang take the rest. He is very experienced and the exam fees are very reasonable. read more

David is an honest optometrist who is not trying to screw up my vision to make money on glasses. I'm so glad I got a recommendation to come here. As soon as we started my examination, David asked me a few questions about my current prescription and questions about my vision. As he was doing the exam, I let him know I was not wearing my contacts that day. He was surprised and let me know that I did not actually need glasses! While my vision is not perfect, it was not bad enough to require glasses and that by wearing too strong of a prescription my vision was getting worse. Previous optometrists likely were just trying to sell me glasses not caring if my vision got worse. While he did not recommend I get any glasses, I did ask for glasses for night driving and working late nights. He obliged but he warned me not to use them unless necessary or my vision would degrade faster. He also has a variety of Asian fit glasses, so they sit higher on the nose bridge. I would highly recommend David and Love Optometry to all of my friends and family. read more

The doctor is nice and they do accept weekend appointment, which save us a lot of time.

Dr. Hwang is the absolute BEST eye doctor I've ever gone to! I highly recommend him! I had an eye infection for 3 months. I was unemployed and desperate to get my eyes cleared up. How could I look for a job with one eye totally red? I went to 4 other doctors that did not help me. I was prescribed an arsenal of eye drops by the other doctors, but none of them worked. I was lucky enough to run into Love Optometry because they have their office right down the street from where I recently moved and they helped me fix my glasses weeks earlier. I called Dr. Hwang to see if he could help me. He took me in immediately and gave me the most thorough eye exam I have EVER had. He gave me an eye drop that WORKED and within 2 hours my eyes started clearing up. I was almost in tears, I was so happy. Dr. Hwang is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, conscientious, reasonably priced and more importantly, the most compassionate eye doctor I've EVER gone to. He really cares about his patients and the health of their eyes. Dr. Hwang also explains everything to you in detail. See Dr. Hwang for your eyes. I will NEVER forget what he did for me! read more

Dr. Huang was introduced by his son's high school principal. He was very careful and patient, explaining everything clearly. It is highly recommended。 read more

Dr. Hwang is the absolute best optometrist I've ever had. He is so knowledgable and really takes his time to explain things and is so passionate about what he does. It's really hard to come across a doctor who genuinely cares about the well-being of their patients and takes time to explain everything thoroughly and I've been coming here for the past few years and the process has always gone extremely smooth. Dr. Hwang is very punctual and I was in and out in no time. Also I've never liked doing the machine where it shoots air into your eyes, but this one was quick and painless and he got it in one try, whereas other doctors I've had took like 7-8 times to get it right. Then he performed a standard eye exam on me to give me a new prescription, and showed me close-up pictures of my eyes! He diagnosed me with Pterygium (surfer's eye) and handed me a tiny bottle of steroids to treat it. I didn't even need to stop by the pharmacy! So great right? Then he gave me a bunch of tips on how to keep my eyes healthy and educated me on the health of my eyes. Didn't try to sell me on anything at all and honestly I had a blast (he's got humor!) Now I'm always looking forward to my eye exam every year! Oh yeah and the best part is that THIS PLACE IS OPEN ON WEEKENDS!!!! :D read more

I have been a patient for many years and Dr. Hwang is extremely knowledgeable and personable. He has the newest equipment and takes time to explain to you your eye condition. I have been very please with his patient approach and help with dry eyes, infections and prescriptions for my eyes. read more

I love This place. I want to give a big like to Dr.David and Alice. they are really nice and helpful. I wish they will never leave this location. Thank you Dr. David. Thank you Alice read more

Dr. Hwang is very thorough and enthusiastic with his examination and explanation of his diagnosis and his prescription. He seems very knowledgeable about both of my wife's and of my vision impairments, he is able to explain in great detail how our conditions developed, and he provided us with "strategic" options on how they are best dealt with. read more

Love Love Optometry. Dr. Hwang gave me the best prescription for my eyes and full disclosure on the state of my optic nerve. My optometrist in NYC prescribed me with contacts that were blurry in my left eye, I wish I could go back to Dr. Hwang. read more

Dr. Hwang is my favorite eye doctor! He has been super friendly and patient with me every time I have gone to him with questions - and I have a LOT of them. The first time I had to see him was on a Sunday after my aunt's recommendation. Turns out I had an eye infection (again). No other doctor ever described the diagnostic to me so thoroughly, nor has anyone else shown me what it actually looks like (he has a DSLR attached to his slit lamp). After treating my infection, he followed up with me promptly and addressed all my other concerns and questions very thoroughly and politely. If I have any more eye problem, Dr. Hwang will be my #1 choice =) read more

Dr Hwang is knowledgeable, patient & thorough. not your run of the mill optometrist from walmart . I always know my optical health is in good hands when I leave. Priced affordably with excellent service! What's not to love? read more

I went to Dr.Hwang on a recommendation and is the best optometrist I have been to. Other than being very knowledgeable and patient, he also charges a very reasonable price from glasses to service. He also specializes in cornea which is exactly where my vision problem lies. So over all, excellent service, impeccable manner, and exact treatment at a good price, can't ask for more. read more

Dr. Hwang is the best eye doctor I ever met. He is young but very knowledgable. Although I just went to get a new frame, he did a full check on me and explain to me everything about my eye! He gives the best service for lowest price. btw,he is also a specialist in glaucoma. read more

Was in a hurry to get some contact lenses. Called them for same day appointment. Receptionist on phone sounded nice so I scheduled. Dr. Hwang is very nice and understanding of patient needs. I have really sensitive eyes, he understood completely and let me try out a bunch of different options before committing to one. read more

Dr. Hwang is so knowledgable and awesome at what he does. His prices are reasonable and he really has a clear passion for what he does. I moved far away from this office but continue to come here because he is so attentive to his patients needs. His assistant is also very sweet and personable. They know how to run a business. read more

They have a policy which if you bring in a prescription from another DR to get prescription eye ware they charge you $15. Call and be sure to see if they have Cal Optima frames or they will up charge you! How is one processing one Dr's write up more than their own? read more

Great doctor! My husband went for an exam and the doctor spent a lot of time answering every question my husband had. He was very helpful and made for a pleasant experience. Highly recommended. Their prices are very good too!! read more

My 6yr old wad sitting next to his older brother while he hammered a rock on a Saturday evening. Well a piece of the rock flew into my 6yr olds eye and he started screaming. I called Love Optometry ( because seriously who else is open on a Saturday night??) and the doctor said bring him right away. It was our first time there and I was blown away. He had to pull the microscopic rocks out of his eye with tweezers and my 6yr old had zero discomfort! ZERO! We walked in, he took him straight back, numed it and went to work. He showed me pictures from the microscope and kept rechecking to make he didn't miss anything. Yes he is young but by far the most impressive eye doctor I have ever been to. Doctors who are thorough, take their time, and explain things so you understand and who make sure you are satisfied get a 5 stad from me!! read more

was one of the contracted doctor's on my list so I yelped to read the reviews all true!!! it was so easy getting an appointment it was very close to my house. Dr, Hwang is the best doctor I have ever meet in my life most dedicated caring doctor & so sweet and kind gives a complete eye exam and explains in detail about your health issues regarding your eyes. very helpful most doctors now days don't even bother to speak to you yet alone explain things to you cause there too busy or tell someone else to do it. Thank you Dr. Hwang for being an awesome Doctor read more

I've been going to David (Dr. Hwang) for years and I have never been happier with the consistent service I get at Love Optometry--just exceptional! Although through the years I have moved farther away from him, I don't mind driving over 35-40 minutes just to see him. David is not only is good at what he does, he is very informative. He explains how your eyes are doing, how I can improve the health of my eyes, how they've changed, and why. What he does during your typical eye exam, he explains. He gives me all my options on what he can do for my vision, without selling me on things I may not need. I'm a poor college students and he is always helpful to find options that are suitable for my budget. Never have I had a eye doctor that told me what was wrong with my eyes in detail, until I came here. Normally, an eye doctor would just tell my vision as gotten worse, adjusts my prescription and sends me out. Even my ophthalmologist, whom I thought was amazing, did not do as good of a job as David. Through the years, I had a difficult time getting a prescription, since it was always blurry. I had optometrists prescribing me with a ridiculously strong prescriptions, and it was still not clear. I just thought it was "normal" to have this blurriness. I was studying one day and I could not get my vision to cooperate with me. Even when I tried to read without my glasses (I'm nearsighted by the way), I could not. That all changed when I came here and David explained to me that I had a undiagnosed, uncorrected lazy eye that was getting worse. This explained the double vision and blurriness that I have been struggling with all my life. David has been working with me for years in correcting my lazy eye, which is extremely hard to do in adults, if its even possible to do. Also, David has been working with me in maintaining my vision and astigmatism--it's been stable so far! Yay! He's also great with last minute appointments..... Let's just say he saves me butt from time to time with eye infections! In all, he will always be my GO TO optometrist. Come try for yourself, you wont be disappointed! read more

Great customer service. Dr. Chien was very generous and is genuinely passionate about ophthalmology. I will be back! :-)

My daughter and I have been here several times in the past year. Dr. Hwang explained in detail about my eyes special condition and suggested ways to prevent it. He is super patient when I ask questions, and always use many ways and in different language (Chinese and English) to make sure I understand. My daughter's glasses are the most comfortable one that she had wore. We will keep going back! read more

Dr Hwang is the best. He is very thorough and explains what you need and don't really need. His staff doesn't try to upsell options you don't need. My wife an i got 3 pairs of glasses, for what I have paid for 1 pair at other places. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but I liked my experience at the Love Optometry. I was actually 20 minutes late, but when I called to let them know, the front office staff were very understanding. The optometrist was very caring to take the time explaining everything to me, and he made sure I got what he was saying. He was very friendly, and it didn't feel like it was my first time at his office. I would definitely recommend "Love Optometry". read more

My old work colleague told me he gave his thumbs up to Dr. Hwang about a year ago. But at that time I just used up my yearly vision insurance at other place. My comment after visiting Dr. Hwang is "It was an amazingly incredible experience." Dr. Hwang explained my vision and prescription in so much details that I had never learned elsewhere in last decade seeing more than a dozen of optometrists. Precise eye exams, precautious phenomena, avoid vision to get worse, to LASIK surgery. EVERYTHING in GREAT details without intentions of selling me anything. I bought two pairs of new glasses. One for reading and one for normal wear (very good idea to people who wear glasses all day long.) Incredible GOOD price. If there is ten-star, I would hit twenty stars to recommend Dr. Hwang as my old work colleague said "highly recommend." read more

First time customer here for a contact exam! I have been using contacts for 30 years and I've seen more than 20 eye doctors so far. Dr. Huang is the best doctor I've ever seen. When you visit him and hear his diagnosis, you would understand! read more

was able to make a same day appointment, and Dr. Hwang was the best optometrist Iv ever met. He was very fast but explained to me what each test was for, his reasoning for his recommendations and what kind of habits I have that can be causing some symptoms etc. without even asking him, he wrote and gave me a copy of my prescriptions (which I know a lot of places give you a hard time for) and gave me two different types of contact lenses to try at home before ordering. He even told me I don't have to order from him but if I do, they can give me 2-3 more pairs that they get from the manufacturer as samples but he said I always give it to my customers. Will definitely be back every year. Very fast but very thorough doctor. I see why he has so many 5 stars. read more

I went here because of the great reviews On yelp. I am so glad I went here. Dr Hwang was very nice and he explained everything I needed to know about my vision and my prescription. I was able to choose a great pair of glasses. Alice, the receptionist was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend Dr Hwang to my friends and family! ^_^ read more

I called around different eye doctors around Irvine to get price quotes on your standard eye exams because I don't have insurance. Dr. Hwang gave me a very good price so I decided to go with him. He speaks super fast, but he takes his time to explain what he is doing and answers every question I had. He didn't try to upsell any unnecessary products which I appreciate. I would def recommend him. read more

Today was my frist time visiting Dr. Hwang. I found his business through Yelp and would have to agree that the positive reviews are spot on. This is the most thorough any optometrist has ever been with me. He even went to the extent of showing me magnified pictures of my eyes and explained to me in comprehensive detail what I was looking at. In addition, he is very professional and nice. I definitely recommend Dr. Hwang. read more

I found this place because I was desperate for an ophthalmologist on a Sunday because I had an infection that wasn't clearing after being originally misdiagnosed as pinkeye. I walked in and although they were fully booked they were able to squeeze me in between patients. Just like all the other reviews state, Dr. Hwang was great! He thoroughly examined me and seemed to know exactly what was wrong and what kind of infection I had. He proceeded to tell me that my previous prescription was causing an allergic reaction and applied an ointment in my eyes that brought me much needed-long awaited relief. He wrote me a prescription for the ointment and an antibiotic, since it was developing into a sinus infection. So happy I found this place! read more

My daughter and I had just moved to Irvine from Riverside, and my daughter suggested Dr. Hwang because he was local. I have never taken the time to give a review on a Dr. or Service before this time, but I had to. Dr. Hwang is the most patient friendly, thorough Optometrist that I have ever met, I have been going to the eye doctor for 25 years and that's saying a lot.. No other doctor ever described the diagnosis to me so thoroughly, nor has anyone else shown me what my eye actually looks like. He even discovered that I have other issues for which I need to see my medical doctor about. He's the best!!!!!!! read more

As strange as it sounds, I'm a big fan of this optometry office. I've never had anything but great experiences each time I visit. I called this morning with a horrible eye infection that was incredibly painful. They squeezed me in WITHIN AN HOUR! I couldn't believe it. The receptionist is so kind and sweet and Dr. Hwang is very professional. He gave me meds for my eye infection and I was out of the office in under 20 minutes. I'm very thankful for this office & the fact they're so great to their customers. Thank you! read more

This doctor is amazing! I came in cos I was frustrated with my own doctor and needed a second opinion. They took me without appointment and helped me out, got some great new frames as well and felt I left satisfied and more knowledgable about my eyes. Thank u ! read more

This is the best optometry office i have ever been to. Yes its small and they don't have marble flooring. But they do have Dr David! My daughter and I both had exams. He explained what was happening with our vision in a way no other DO has. He took time to counsel us both on our options based on our lifestyles and needs. He even discussed the +/- of filling my prescription online and re-wrote my prescription so that I could understand it better, so that I didn't screw up the online order. It's been my experience that most DOs (like in the chain stores) are just herding you through as quickly as possible. Not Dr David. I highly recommend a visit. read more

Best Optometry, friendly receptionist and they open on the weekends! And I never have to wait when I come for my appointment.

Glad I checked the Yelp followers' reviews before I visited this place. Dr. Hwang treats his patients with professionalism and his outstanding knowledge. You can tell that he loves his job very much. During the eye examination, he kept providing you with with endless knowledge and solution. Most importantly, he cares about his patients and would spend time to answer all of the questions, even finding a solution for you. Highly recommend Dr. Hwang. read more

Dr. Hwang is fantastic! He is the best optometrist I've ever been to. My husband and I saw him as new patients and we both agreed that Dr. Hwang gives you information about your eyes that no other optometrist has ever told you. He has a friendly yet professional demeanor and answers all your questions. His staff is also fantastic! They helped me to select my new eyeglasses. Great place, will definitely return for my check-ups. read more
