I have to tell you... I am in tears of how wonderful the Dr. was and the staff.. they really care about your well being... even beyond getting glasses! After I went in the first appointment... I can't even tell you how awesome April was! She made me LMAO! Then seeing the Dr. , so heart warming! A few days later, I freaked out a bit, because when I saw the Dr. , that was the last day of my insurance. But I woke up, and I couldn't see even with my good glasses. I called them, they took me in Immediately! I was in tears.. the Dr. took me right in... checked everything out... because of personal things happening in my life, he thought it was because of lack of sleep and stress. He was completely right!! Not only will he be my forever eye Dr. but also my therapist!!! Hahahhaha! He is beyond awesome! Thank you Dr. to take the time to find out my situation and actually really care!! You are beyond an amazing person. read more

The customer service is great at Modern Eyes. It is rare these days to have such consistent cheerful help with my complex prescription and finding new glasses. I have been going to Modern Eyes now for the past 3 years and they are always good! My last pair of Salt frames are the best frames I have ever worn. Unique and cool. Get your next contacts or glasses from the team who cares to make sure your vision and look is correct for you. read more

Great, friendly, knowledgeable staff with a fabulous selection of modern eyewear. Dr. Wang was wonderful and caring. April went above and beyond to have my eyeglasses done for me, as I was leaving on a business trip. First class experience! read more

I went in to get some sunglasses fixed. Koi could not have been nicer or more helpful - I thought for sure my broken glasses were non fixable! So disappointed, as they were expensive and brand new! I received a call an hour later apologizing that he took "so long" to get back to me! The glasses had been fixed and there would be no charge. First class service all away around. I will be back for an eye exam and when I need new reading glasses. So nice to receive this kind and generous service. Five star read more

They have a great selection of frames. I actually have a different optometrist but they had great frames, the price was comparable and the staff was super friendly and helpful. I have issues with my previous scrip from old doc and they didn't work with my new glasses and Dr. Wong gave me an eye exam for free to check what's the difference and why I would have a problem. I have 60 days for the lab to re-do the Rx for free so I'm working on that now. They have been nothing but helpful. They also take VSP insurance. Highly recommend. read more

I visited Modern Eyes as a new patient and have nothing but amazing things to say! Dr. Wang is extremely kind, professional, and knowledgeable! I had a great first experience getting my contact and wellness exam here. First, i did not have to wait. Second, The office itself is gorgeous - brand new and only the best technology. The staff is very friendly as well. It's in a great, convenient location. Dr. Wang took a lot of time with me and explained the importance of proper eye care and not taking our vision for granted! I will definitely be back and would recommend this practice to anyone! Thank you Dr. Wang and staff! read more

As a very unhappy client coming from Lens Crafters in Oceanside prior to visiting Dr. Wong office, I was very skeptical and cautious. Once I open up and explained my goals the entire staff was very patient, friendly and Dr. Wong went above and beyond to find the perfect soft contacts for me. Not only I've tried different brands and adjustments samples during the course of 4-5 weeks but he wanted to make sure, we took our time selecting the best possible lenses. After I tried a few selection and narrow things down, finally placed my order. Today I can say that it was so far the best experience I had out of all my previous ones. I am without a question a happy customer and will continue visiting Dr. Wong moving forward. read more

I just want to say thank you Dr. Howard and his amazing staff. By far the most efficient office and staff I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Dr. Wang is caring, comforting and amazing. I've had a lot of problems finding the right lens prescription around town and his office was far superiors to any others. So thanks again guys and will definitely be sending my friends and family your guys' way. -oh the office is absolutely gorgeous and clean too :) read more

Dr. Wang is extremely knowledgeable and is good at explaining everything. His whole staff is very friendly and helpful. Christy is awesome!

Awesome service and awesome people! Dr Wang and April are the best. I recently had to get glasses and contacts and they have gone above and beyond to take care of my eyewear needs. I feel very taken care of and highly recommend!!! read more

Best customer service I have ever experienced. I got so lucky with this group! Dr. Wang cares so much about the health of yours eyes and is very kind and knowledgeable. Coy and GO were absolutely the most incredible ever! They were very accommodating, and knew everything there was to know about my insurance to make sure I got the most out of it! I highly recommend Modern Eyes to anyone looking to get contacts, glasses or a check up on their overall eye health! read more

Went here 2 weeks ago very hesitant to get glasses. The entire staff was very nice and helpful. They took the time to explain my insurance plan and coverage. I finally picked out frames with help of the staff and was able to pick them up a week later. I am beyond satisfied! Love my new glasses. Look forward to working with this business in the future. read more

Dr Wang is great, very careful and listens to his patients. VIP treatment all the way. Pricing is good. I enjoy their staff and their friendliness. highly recommend! read more

This staff is amazing! They are all so incredibly helpful and everyone always goes above and beyond. The doctor is wonderful and the facility is beautiful. I love my optometrist! read more

Dr Wang and his staff are awesome! Came in with a friend who has VSP and they take that insurance. April (the optician) was super friendly and knowledgeable. I liked her so much that I ended up buying a pair for myself! Great team!! read more

Review is for retail eyeglasses, I did not see the optometrist. Found this place as listed as a retailer of SALT brand frames, I actually ended up buying a different brand. The service was absolutely impeccable! Loved the woman who was helping me and she went out of her way to explain pricing with my VSP insurance plan. Not the biggest selection of frames but for how incredibly picky I am I was able to pick a frame same day (usually I shop around for months). I will be back when my FSA kicks in again next year! read more

First visit for my teenage son for contact fitting , and annual eye exam. I needed to get him in quick as he wanted contacts for sports and unfortunately his original optometrist didn't have availability. Modern Eyes not only accommodated him on a Sat they sent him out with contacts that day. The staff was amazing, caring, and extremely patient with teaching my son how to use his contacts etc. Very happy with their overall knowledge and service. I definitely recommend. They have now gained some permanent patients. Thank you so much!!! read more

I love their selection of eyewear, in addition to the fact that everyone is so friendly and nice, esp. Dr. Wang. He spent a lot of time discussing my eye problems and offering me inexpensive, even free solutions. He gave me quite a few samples of an eyedrop for dry eye. Other places I have been to offer their pricey prescription instead of giving me samples to try for over-the-counter solutions. Of course, trying on all the frames is always fun! They had such a huge selection that it took me a while before narrowing it down to five of my favorites, then another 40 minutes to narrow it down to two! The best part is that they didn't try to upsell me to the most expensive pair or add-ons that I didn't need. Comparing their prices, they were equal to the prices of name brand eyewear in the government site my hubby uses as a DoD employee! I love this place... And the fact that it is only seven minutes from my house is a bonus! read more

Amazing customer service. I came in with a prescription for my teenage soon and they helped him pick out a pair of cool Salt glasses that were ready in 1 week. When there I asked if they could help me repair the hinge on a broken pair of Gucci sunglasses. Apparently the replacement part was out of stock so they convinced Gucci to send me a new pair of sunglasses for free....and I didn't even buy them there. You just can't find that great level of customer service many places these days. Thank you Modern Eyes! read more

Great customer service and extremely friendly. They have a vast selection of brands. We went there specifically for SALT and they had the most any store in San Diego had. They explained everything very well and even provide a 30% or 40% discount for Military!!!!! We will definitely be returning for future frames and lenses. read more

My family and I have been going to Dr Wang for over a year now. Everyone in the office is very approachable and kind. They definitely go the extra mile to take care of every little issue we may have, they answer every question even from the kids, and they are very organized with their paperwork and billing. We also appreciate the fact that they value out time and are never late with our appointments yet we never feel rushed while we are in there. Even the location is great with plenty of parking and great places to eat/snack. We highly recommend Dr Wang and his staff! read more

Dr. Wang and his staff are great. My first time in the office was as a walk-in client after some lingering eye twitching. Everyone was so welcoming, thorough and professional. My excellent experience at Modern Eyes made me switch to Dr. Wang as my optometrist. The icing on the cake is the convenient and super accessible office location. read more

Dr. Wang is very professional and takes his time to explain everything. My appointment was handled on time and April and Christy at the front end are exceptional. April is excellent at assisting with the purchasing of the perfect frames. Took my husband there and he was equally impressed. Excellent service/beautiful product/perfect customer service! read more

Dr. Wang is very knowledgeable and friendly, great staff. They took their time to discuss my options and pick the right products. I highly recommend! read more

I lost my glasses surfing while on vacation. I came here for an eye exam and to purchase some emergency contact lenses. I spoke with Desiree who was polite and helpful. When I arrived I was told by someone else that I could ONLY be seen for eyeglasses and given a prescription and receive glasses TOMORROW potentially but not contacts. Idk, in my experiences, since the age of 9, with any optometrist I've ever been to, they have contact lenses at the office for samples. This may not seem like an emergency to someone that works at an optometrist office as they can pull contacts whenever necessary. I can't see TODAY. I can not express how disgusted I am with this experience and with their unwillingness to help me in this emergency situation. I'm sure that there will be some charming response to this, with some excuse and a public request to come back in or whatever, the thing is I was there and they didn't help and were rude like I was trying to rip them off in some way. read more

I went to my old optometrist for 15+ years but recently had to switch because of an insurance change. I was nervous to try somewhere new because my eyes are somewhat complex, but my experience at Modern Eyes could not have been better. The level of service here is truly exceptional. Dr. Wang is fantastic and thorough and my appointments have never been rushed. I primarily wear contacts and Dr. Wang was able to more accurately determine my prescription than my last office. Had I never come here, I would not have known that a little tweak in my prescription and a different brand of lenses could vastly improve my comfort and ability to see. The entire office staff is so friendly and helpful as well. They have a great selection of frames to choose from to suit all budgets and mine were ready within 1 week of ordering. I honestly cannot recommend Modern Eyes enough, I feel so lucky to have found them! read more

Dr. Trink Doan is an excellent Optometrist at the awesome facility. She is very patient, gentle and kind. Very pleasant , helpful and courteous front desk staff. It was such a pleasure to go there for my eye exam. I highly recommend anyone needing an eye exam. read more

Came in to have my glasses fixed. I didn't get the woman's name but she had them fixed in less than 5 minutes and was super nice! Thanks!

I moved to Encinitas two years ago and still had not found an optometrist. My friends who just moved here as well referred me to Dr. Wang's office. I have to say that the moment I walked into the office I knew that I would be finally making the change! April was so helpful in finding me the correct glasses and sunglasses for my progressives and Dr. Wang was so pleasant and professional - I really liked how he took the time to go over each test with me - the coolest thing was seeing the picture of my eye from the back with all the veins and arteries - something that I have never seen before - I highly recommend this office for those if you who want a friendly and professional experience! read more

With a very well equipped lab, Dr. Wang is very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He is simply among the best doctors I've met.....definitely highly recommended. read more

Best place to get your optical needs. Agree with previous reviewers that the service at Modern Eyes La Costa is awesome! April, the front desk manager is very sweet and helpful with insurance and appointment needs. Dr. Wang is a very knowledgeable and friendly optometrist. I brought my active 5 year old son to get glasses. All the staff and Dr. Wang made the process simple and we picked out a great pair of glasses for him. Only a few short months later, my son broke the edge of the frame. I went in trying to figure out my options. Everyone at the office was great, and helped me resolve my problem. I've already referred several friends and will continue to! read more

What a first class operation! The doctor and staff are kind, courteous, professional and very knowledgeable. They have gone out of their way to assist me and have been very generous with their time while being very respectful of mine. The equipment is very up to date and modern, which really helped streamline my annual exam. They also have a terrific selection of frames. I'm so glad I found this office and will be coming back for all my future needs. read more

This is the best eye examination that I have ever had. Dr Howard Wang has knowledge way beyond the scope of an Optometrist. I trust him completely and will always rely on his knowledge to make the right decisions for my continued eye health.The support group for Dr Wang are very friendly and the facility is clean and modern. My recommendation to all of you is to always have the tests on their state of art equipment so that Dr Wang can give you a proper evaluation on the condition of your eyes. read more

I tried Modern Eyes a few weeks ago for new glasses and contact lens exam and prescription. Best new shop in the neighborhood. From start to finish I had an A+ experience. The ladies in the front office are great gals and are excellent at helping select flattering frames (they have a nice selection). Kudos to the Doc! For the first time in over ten years I can see clearly. He adjusted my prescription (from a previous doc) that I had used the last several years. I now know what it feels like to see clearly again!! I cannot compliment this office enough. read more

Dr. Wang was very friendly and took time to explain everything to me in detail and answered all of my questions. My experience made me feel like they really had my best interest at heart. I felt confident when I left that I was getting the correct prescription, with a good brand that worked with my insurance. They also made sure to let me know if something wasn't covered by my insurance. They also helped guide me through my insurance options so I could apply my insurance in the best way. read more

A friend of mine referred me to Modern Eyes after having an awesome experience. I went for a contact eye exam and found Dr. Wang and his team were super friendly and helpful. Dr. Wang was very personable and spent a lot of time with me as a new patient to really understand my needs and concerns. He is definitely does not have a "one size fits all" approach that you get with many optometrists. And, on top of all of that, his office is beautiful! read more
