When we relocated from Los Angeles, where all our doctors were in the Wilshire and Robertson area and Cedar Sinai Medical Center, we worried if we would have the same quality care in Orange County. Our doctor at the Beverly Hills Eye Center referred us to Dr Domínguez, Modern Eye Optometry, in Lake Forest. Since 2018 we have been with Dr Domínguez and his team; we have only received excellent, professional and caring services. Our fears were allayed immediately, and time and time again Dr Domínguez' expertise in optometry has been demonstrated. I had an opportunity to also see an ophthalmologist that when I mentioned I was under Domínguez' care, he said "Ah you are in great hands." Thank you Dr. Domínguez, you and your team are definitely and highly recommended for the personal caring reception you always give your clients and because of your level of expertise, use of updated technology, and flexibility in seeing us. read more

I haven't had my eyes checked out in over a decade so I received this establishment as a referral from a co-worker for an optometrist near the office. I had a great experience as the eye exam was thorough with up to date machinery to figure out why my vision has blurred. Dr. Dominguez and staff were super relaxed, friendly and professional. The staff that was assisting me let me know what my insurance covered and what was not covered which I truly appreciate. I would not hesitate to come here again. read more

I had my first visit here yesterday and I was very happy with my experience. The optometrist and staff are very friendly and kind, and made sure I was comfortable. The facility is very nice and clean. The optometrist made me feel very comfortable as he has a very calm and soothing presence. He explained every step and was very knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and was overall very pleasant. They have several opticians and my optician was so sweet and she really knew her stuff! She was very patient with me as I tried on several different glasses and didn't make me feel rushed at all. We had many good laughs which I really appreciated. The process of getting my eyes checked and picking frames/lenses was very quick and streamlined. That was probably one of my best optometry visits I've ever had. read more

The receptionists are very welcoming and friendly. The exam feels very thorough and not rushed at all. The optician does a great job of making you feel comfortable and explaining all the different steps, machines, etc. The exam with the doctor is also very relaxed, in-depth and comfortable. He explained the results from the earlier tests the optician and took the time to show me pictures and graphs of my eyes. He was very personable and I felt like he took his time making sure I knew what he was doing and why. He seemed to care about my well-being and the health of my eyes. I just switched to this office since I moved and I will certainly be back. read more

Modern Eyewear Optometry - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Lake Forest, California

1st time customer. I'm disappointed with my experience. I did some research and booked an appt because I was running out of daily contacts and needed an updated prescription. During my appt, I was told there was an extra charge to be seen for a contacts prescription. The lady wouldn't give me a price at first. Long story short, I paid $40 to get a contact prescription. I never tried on any contacts, was fitted for contacts, got trial contacts and the doctor never viewed contact lenses on my eyes. So I paid $40 for a prescription that I thought was included in an eye exam. The doctor was really great and thorough. He recommended allergy eyedrops. When I checked out, the girl did not follow up on this or give me the name of the drops recommended. The doctor actually ordered prescription eye drops and they had to call back to figure out how I was going to obtain the prescription. I've paid a fee for a contact fitting at the eye doctor before... but this was for an actual fitting, where I tried multiple types of contacts, got trial pairs, and the doc looked how they fit my eye. At this place, none of that happened. I'm really disappointed that I had to pay for a contact prescription (in addition to the co-pay from my insurance for the eye ). Also I'm disappointed that the the antibiotic eye drops and allergy eye drops weren't reviewed during my checkout process, so I had to call back to receive that information. The lady was more interested in selling me contacts. The doctor was great, but the experience and $40 for a contact prescription wasn't great. Typically an eye exam includes a glasses and contacts prescription.... There can be an up charge for a contact fitting. But that didn't happen today. read more

Great service and excellent staff. They give on time schedule updates and feedbacks to inquiries

I have been going here for almost 10 years and love it. Everyone is so kind. They offer you water while you wait and have contact cases, solution and anything else you can need. The doctors are all great. They are friendly and knowledgeable. They always can fit me in even within a few days notice. They also let you know when there's rebates and coupons for your contacts. I highly recommend this place to everyone. read more

Excellent service. I will be returning. Large selection of high quality eyewear. They use the latest equipment.

Very helpful stuff - loving happy people - amazing service - love going there - great selection of modern frames - top optometry in the area ... totally recommended read more

Dr Alderson is phenomenal, my whole family uses her. She is knowledgeable and takes time to know your family history and build long term plan for eye health. We're very happy to have her and her team for our eye care!! read more

DON'T GET GOUGED! Took a pair of glasses they had put lenses in two years earlier and asked them to replace with the same. They checked the record, asked to confirm everything, charged my card and i left. A day later they called and said i need to pay $57 more since they made a mistake in type of lens. I then received the response below, went back to the store only to be given my glasses back by the assistant manger of the store and nothing else. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

I don't understand why this place has good reviews. I felt like I was at a used car lot where sales person said 'I'll put you in a....." and then quote highest priced prescription options without explaining choices. No glasses have prices. You have to ask for everything. Why are they hiding the price? Does it depend on what you look like? Overall, quite unfriendly and not many options. read more

Caring, knowledgeable, compassionate, and friendly. Can't get a better combination than that. Dr. Dominguez was all of those, they quickly diagnosed my eye issues. Then treated me and corrected my problem. Can't ask for better care than I received. Thank you. read more

dr was great, staff was kind. the only reason why I docked 1 star was for the pricing. I felt they were upcharging for what we received. I've been to many optometrists in my time and I know it's pricey, but even then I felt they did take a bit of advantage there. I don't think they also read my notes when i filled out the forms so I had to re-explain everything. Will I go again? Probably not due to pricing. Thank you for the service though! read more

The dog ate my glasses!! I stopped into Modern Eyewear to see if they could get a replacement tip for my glasses that I did not purchase from them. Sandra was so helpful and was able to order the tips and even give me a temporary tip to cover the exposed metal piece. I was very impressed with this company and their customer support. read more

My wife and I have been going to Modern Eyewear Optometry for a few years. The entire staff is excellent and friendly. Dr. Dominguez is absolutely exceptional and the best optometrist. I'd also like to recognize two employees, Melissa the receptionist and the optician Alhine. Melissa is always very friendly and accommodating scheduling appointments. Melissa is also very professional and very responsive to follow up phone calls and emails. I've also had many outstanding experiences working with Alhine. Alhine is an amazing optician and highly skilled at her job. Alhine always goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure your lenses and frames are a perfect fit! read more

The only reason this place deserves any credit is bc of the great doctor. Dr Domínguez was phenomenal. Absolutely overpriced. Office staff and "management" are absolutely incompetent. I paid almost 800$ for both a 3-month supply of contacts and new glasses. I was called and told I had underpaid. Tried to work out with the office and they "wrote-off" balance. I received contact samples as part of my ACTUAL order. According to management that was okay because I had underpaid. So unethical. read more

Modern Eyewear Optometry - Manufacturers Sample Contacts (yellow) given as part of my actual order. Unethical. - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Modern optometry, epitomizes excellence and teamwork. Dr. Dominguez was able to assist in diagnosing a rare autoimmune disease that has affected my retinas. My vision had been declining for years without a diagnosis. I am so grateful to their team. I have worn corrective lenses since I was 10 and then at 40 years old got Lasik. They have been able to fit me in special scleral lenses, which have helped me greatly. My ophthalmologist sent me to him specifically because of his advanced training with contacts. read more

First time client. My husband and 2 kids all had appointments. Pros: Easy to set up an online Digital booking and forms fill out Doctors are really insightful and easy to talk to Takes a wide variety of insurance Cons: Kind of not a good fit if you want to have the flexibility to buy your glasses online. Their selection is not our taste and we had to ask multiple times for specific measurements beyond prescriptions to buy glasses online. My husband had to go back and pay $10 for the measurements and when I asked 3 or 4x for these measurements during my appointment, they still did not measure me but kept a saying they something along the lines of not all glasses styles require it. They gave me "approximations" from the machine and did not add the details to the prescription form but to a post it. I may or may not return because of this, it makes me feel less empowered as a consumer. But this likely is very unique to those who want the flexibility of buying online for a wide array of fashionable pairs. read more

Dr Ridenour very professional and thorough. Eyeglass specialists very helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. I highly recommend this group.

Dr. Dominguez and his staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. They take time to explain and discuss the options and accept all most all the insurances. Great variety of frames with different brands and option for reading glasses, sunglasses, etc. Doctor offered my son the Ortho K therapy and I would say that was the best thing happen to us since he is doing sports and we are doing this for about 5 years since he was 10 years old. Easy and flexible to schedule appointments and they are great with reminders. I would recommend this place and the nicest staff to anyone. read more

I was recommended by my ophthalmologist to go to see Dr. Dominguez after I had complained about a bad prescription that made my vision blurry and gave me headaches. Once I went to Dr. Dominguez, he was able to correct my vision so that I can see at the highest level possible. He is very knowledgeable, kind and also a perfectionist at what he does. Even though I was seeing even better than I had before, Dr. Dominguez tweaked my prescription even more so to ensure I was seeing even better! He's amazing! I am so glad that I moved over to a new optometrist after having been at my old optometry for over 8 years. Also, Dr. Dominguez' staff is very helpful and responsive. Maribel is really skilled at helping to pick eye glass frames and also answer any questions I have with regards to various lens options and contact lenses. She has amazing customer service! Sandra is also very sweet and makes you feel very comfortable as she assists with the eye exams. I really actually appreciate everyone at Modern Eyewear Optometry. They have a great team and I'm happy to have found this place! read more

I wanted to thank the staff at Modern Eyewear for making my first visit so enjoyable. They were friendly and professional.

I am very happy with my experience as a first time customer. The office and staff is extremely organized which is a top priority for me, and they seem to have the latest and most comprehensive technology that I haven't seen in other optometry offices. I was not rushed at all as I have felt with other doctors, so I really appreciated this. It was very easy to converse with the staff and the doctor, which is another plus. They are thorough and detailed. Overall, an easy and comfortable experience where you can trust the doctors have your best interest at heart. read more

Went in to Modern Eyewear with a situation that concerns me. The team were extremely helpful and friendly and able to fit me in to see the Dr. Dr. Alderson was very thorough went over my test results and explained my concerns. Genuinely cares about patients and their health, highly recommended. read more

Amazing doctors and great service. They are thorough and easy to work with. I highly recommend them.

We've been coming here for years and they are always very helpful, both with the eye exam and picking out frames. They aren't pushy on upsells and are very clear with what they charge and what any insurance you may have will cover. The lenses come with a 2 year anything-goes coverage. So when my wife was getting some new glasses, the optician looked at my current glasses and, after conferring with the Dr, came back to recommend replacing my lenses at no cost. The only (minor) issue is that the replacement lenses take an incredibly long time to get back. New frames/glasses my wife ordered, arrived in two weeks, but my lenses are still being worked on. But, for free replacement lenses, at no cost to me whatsoever, I'm good waiting a few more weeks. And, I didn't have to give up my glasses while they made the lenses! I mention the lenses taking a long time to replace, however, because if one was to really mess up their lenses to the point they can't be used, waiting 6-8 weeks for the replacement lenses my be problematic. Overall, definitely recommend. Kind doctors and staff, good selection of frames, clear with insurance coverage, and communicates often read more

Modern Eyewear Optometry - Couldn't find the exact screw but it was very close and they worked so hard to get this for me! - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Thanks to Yelp, I found my optometrist! I have neglected to get my eyes checked for a good 8 years and was experiencing eye fatigue and trouble seeing farther away, so I thought it was time to get a checkup. Their office is beautiful, clean and modern and they follow Covid protocols. They ask that you text them when you arrive and they let you know when to come in. There was one other patient in the waiting area when I came in and we were spaced apart. The intake gal was very nice though I don't recall her name. I saw Dr. Dominguez- very nice and patient! I am a fan of not feeling rushed or like just another patient to get through when visiting doctor's offices. I was able to select my frames there and I pick them up in 2 weeks! Did you know you can get blue light blocker in your prescription lenses? Very cool and much needed! read more

Great service. Called in the morning and got a same day appointment. Office was very clean and professional. Did not have to wait very long to see Dr. Dominguez. Very personable and non intimidatingly. He diagnosed the situation within a few short minutes and quickly resolved my issue. I would highly recommend them. read more
