This review is long overdue. I have been purchasing glasses from OC. Eye Design since 2017. They have a variety of frame options. My two favorite brands are Lafont and Anne & Valentin. They are both made in France and not readily available at all places. High quality frames with fun designs. The customer service is friendly and helpful. Upon placing an order, it takes about two weeks for the glasses to be ready. They also have reasonably priced lenses if you need to replace a pair in current frames without going through insurance. read more

Excellent team of highly qualified Optometrists. Excellent service and assistance. Highly professional. Only concern is getting a bill for $240 after insurance for eye exam (including glasses and contact lenses evaluations). I have never experienced such a high fee. Amazingly this was actually a discounted rate. read more

The doctors and staff are very helpful and all seem good. However, be prepared for a wait if you come in to order glasses. One employee is at lunch and one is busy with someone else. UPDATE: I was seen and Elena, who is awesome, helped me select glasses. Jamie at the front desk got her off lunch early due to my frustration and was super nice. Got two pairs ordered in minimal time and very happy. Prices are better than many other places. read more

This was my first vision exam and I wasn't sure what to expect, but Dr. Alissa Wald and her team made me feel completely comfortable from the moment I walked in. The visit was one of the most thorough I've ever had. They listened, answered my questions, and explained everything clearly. With so many testing options available, I felt like I received the most thorough and tailored exam possible. They also went over pricing upfront so there were no surprises. The office is very nice, and I left feeling well cared for and informed. Highly recommend! read more

Great first visit and had a good price compared to others and within 5 days had my new lenses! All good. They helped me decide on the right pair read more

The women that work here are amazing. I stopped by to see if they could fix something on my glasses. They took care of it right away. Great service very kind . read more

I should know once you have a bad experience that it's not ever going to change. I tried to give this company another shot. I got a pair of computer glasses with frames & am very happy with them. I had my favorite pair of sunglasses & asked if they could replace the lenses which were scratched. They quoted me just over $200 for a non prescription lens which seemed a bit high but I went with it. My computer glasses came back nicely but unfortunately the sunglasses had a separation between the solid frame & the animal print exterior. I understood they were not responsible for the frame but when I messaged them to assist I was told, sorry we don't have glue & can't help. I just spent over $800 & you're not willing to help fix me fix the frames I just spent over $200 for new lenses? Just crappy & the reason I was disappointed in your services 4 or 5 years ago. Shame on me for giving you another opportunity! DONE! Not again. You all ruined what was a good experience up to this. Very disappointing. You couldn't help with this simple fix...remove the lens, glue this back in & put the lens back in? Appreciate the lack of service & can assure you it will never use your services again. I have spent several thousands of dollars at your company over the last 8 or 9 years & I'm disgusted. read more

Terrible experience for a new customer! My husbands appointment was scheduled for 3:00 for his first eye exam. We were 8 minutes late and were told that we would have to reschedule because we were late (8 minutes). They proceeded to take our insurance info and said we could be seen after the next appointment who was coming in at 3:15. So we waited while I filled out the new patient paperwork and the lady that was supposed to come at 3:15 was 15 minutes late and nothing was said to her except hi how are you, go right in. I was astonished! Completely unprofessional and rude. You would think we would've been treated better for being a new customer. We left and will take our business elsewhere. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

I have been going to a fine optometrist for years now, but needed a cooler assortment of frames. I walked in, saw the selection, was greeted by a friendly, professional staff member and got that feeling 'I've come to the right place.' They weren't satisfied with the glasses when they first came back from the factory so they sent them back until they were perfect. everything about the experience was great. I'll be back. read more

Haven't had my eyes checked since i got Lasik almost 3 years ago. This place is a minute away from my house which is very convenient. The whole process was a breeze and i got new cute glasses for me to wear when driving since my eyes will never be 20/20. Staff are friendly and the whole store/office is very clean. read more

Excellent customer service! Broad selection of frames but most importantly to me, they carry Lindberg frames - the best I've ever worn!

Excellent experience, amazing staff, friendly, professional, knowledgeable and courteous. You won't find a better eye care option in Orange County. read more

You'd think this place would make an attempt to repair a hinge if paying for lenses to be placed in a frame. Frame was purchased from them a few years ago prior to cerveza sickness so can't tell me that you don't service frames not purchased from you. So here we have new lenses, in a semi damaged hinge that you just assume should now be used like a regular pair of glasses - You be the judge, is this great service to justify your pricing ? Let's not get started about the "appointment system" the world has moved on, you probably should too - read more

Eyecare is a deeply personal experience, and when one needs this accommodation in their life, often resulting from the aging process, making the best of having to wear glasses becomes a very self-defining and even emotional event. The team at OC Eye Design understand this delicate process all too well. They are at once friendly, professional, consultative and make themselves fully accountable for the happiness and satisfaction of their customers. Raven is a true asset to the OC Eye team and her commitment to satisfaction is second to none. The doctors are experts in their field, the technology used is cutting edge, the front desk team is always welcoming and energetic. For these reasons and more, I'm very proud to say, I am one of their many happy customers. Thank you OC Eye Design team for keeping my family and I looking and feeling good!! read more

I wanted to find some new eyeglasses that were a bit trendier- and I was pleasantly surprised with the unique assortment of brands carried here. Rolando was so informative and helpful- I found some new glasses that I am so looking forward to wearing. And he was able to explain about the issues that I have with the quality of my current lenses- I cannot wait to enjoy these new glasses! read more

A great office with wonderful customer service. My doctor was very thorough with my exam and caught a few things my previous doctor had not. The staff is welcoming and friendly and appreciate their efforts every time I drop in to have something done. Highly recommended! read more

I have a very complex perscription for my lenses. My issues are that I need progressive lenses that are extra thin since my sight is so bad, plus I need them to correct my astigmatism. The other factor (which is ongoing) is that I am in need of very sharp vision for doing photography and photo editing. OC EYE DESIGNS are experts! They have been so patient with me over the last few years in trying to find the right combination of lenses and frames that will work with my career needs. Rolando and everyone there are so courteous and take their craft as serious as I take my craft - and really appreciate them! Even when the lenses came back, the optic curve was just slightly off center and they totally understood and resent the lenses to be made again. I so appreciate that they understand that - some other companies look at you like you're crazy and say "that's just the way it is, deal with it". Not these guys, very courteous and remeasure everything, how the frame sits on your face, the space between the eye and lense...all of it! The only down side, is (as with most companies these days,) the frames are very inflated/ and expensive and the lenses are very high. Even with some insurance. It's a big investment. But I love this company and will be staying with them! read more

Started going here in 2017 when I moved to Orange County. It was good then - got some frames, good overall experience, service, etc. I returned back this week and they have gone from good to GREAT! Without going into my whole story --I have an eye disease called keratoconus for which I had surgery on a decade ago in the Bay Area. Since then, I haven't received a lot of quality advice on what to do proactively in regards to new procedures/tech that have become avail as well as everyday lifestyle solutions to "slow the vision changes". With that said, I got all my questions answered by Dr. Sieve as his advice was on point and clearly communicated. I also appreciate the KC BBQ recommendations and the Steph Curry knowledge. Keep up the great service Jainie and Gloria! I'll be back for some frames... read more

I really wish we could give more stars, but both my husband and I were highly disappointed by our experience so far. The only reason why I'm giving it 2 stars and not one is that the optometrist was very nice but I can't say that for his staff. The blond lady at the front was sassy, like she was trying to be nice but comes off fake and rude. My husband and I went in both on the same day but different times to accommodate our busy schedule. I had a morning appointment and he had an afternoon appointment. Since I cover the insurance for my family, I had the lady at the front take my HSA credit card information to charge my husbands glasses. For some reason this did not happen and they demanded a deposit from my husband or they wouldn't order his glasses. He then had to pay it out of his own pocket. The next day I called in to complain and Rolando told me, oh sorry I didn't see the note in the file and if we wanted a refund on the deposit, my husband was to return to the office with his debit card. In the meantime, they gave me a couple days worth of contacts to try out and said they would order more till my follow-up appt the following week... but of course that didn't happen and I had to go back using my old contacts. At my follow-up appt I ended up ordering a years worth of contacts and paid for the balance of my husbands glasses, requesting that the receipts be emailed to me... of course that didn't happen. I had to email them a week later and request the receipts so I could submit it to my HSA provider. Then my husband gets a call after waiting 2 weeks for his new glasses with a new prescription.. the glasses came in with a scratch and they would have to order a new pair and he has to wait another 2 weeks!!! My husband asked them to expedite it and they said no, sorry there is nothing they can do about it. So as you can see, not impressed at all. Maybe it's bad luck, bad timing...idk. But we are considering switching optometrists. read more

Today I met Dr. Shahi for the first time and she examined me and my two young daughters. She was very thorough, knowledgable, and kind. It was a wonderful appointment, and I really appreciated how much time she spent with us. The other staff members were very helpful and friendly too. My girls had such a great experience for their first eye appointment. I highly recommend this office for adults and kids! read more

Very professional, and caring. Was my very first visit, and took the time to help me feel comfortable with the choice of frames I had selected. Gave great feedback regarding styles, and wasn't interested in "just making a sale" but was creating the atmosphere for repeat business. Well done I also shared this via Facebook. read more

Dr. Ansarinia is so kind and caring. I can't explain how hard it is for me to find an optometrist that will take their time to help me with my complex eye problems. I wear sclera contacts and have been almost impossible to fit. Not only do I wear them with comfort now but I am seeing better than I have in years. She never gave up on me and never asked me to settle or told me that's the best it was going to get. The girls at the front desk were friendly and knowledgeable. Overall great experience. I won't hesitate sending all my family and friends to this office. THANK YOU! read more

I've purchased my last two pair of glasses here and found the service exceptional! I tend to be hard on glasses and when I've gone back to get them adjusted, I'm always greeted with a smile and treated as someone special. My last eye exam was here as well and the doctor who worked with me was the best. I've found my "go to" place for eyewear! read more

I'm so glad I found this place. I haven't been to the optometrist in forever. Dr. A was extremely communicative and informative. They have a large selection of quality luxury frames and the staff was great at helping me pick one. Or two actually... I would've bought more if I could ;) read more

This place was horrible I've never had such a bad experience before. Renee helps me and has the worst customer Service I have ever experienced. She continually rolled her eyes at me and spoke down to me and repeated the phrase " I work at LensCrafters for 13 years" at least three times. When I did get my sun glasses(two weeks later) they came back horrible. They were not dark like I asked, as well as the tint had been cut off the edges of the lenses. I informed Renee of this and her first response was "well I didn't tint them" finally she agreed to send them back. Today after another two week i got to pick up my glasses and they are worse then before. I would never recommend this place to anyone read more

They helped us out in an emergency situation with my daughter's eye and the whole staff and the docs there are top notch. Highly recommend!

I've been going to OC Eye Designs for several years now and am always impressed with their friendliness, efficiency, and thoroughness. From the front desk to the doctors to the opticians, everyone I've interacted with clearly knows what they're doing and takes pride in their work. I never feel rushed during my exam, and each doctor I've seen has gone above and beyond to go over any concerns or issues I've had with my eyes, even for something as simple as mild seasonal allergies. And special shoutout to Rolando - I never found the process of picking frames to be particularly enjoyable, but he's so good at what he does and explains his thought process so well for each frame he recommends, I actually look forward to working with him to pick out a new pair whenever I go in. read more

Just had an appointment with Dr. A and finished picking glasses with Rolando. AMAZING EXPERIENCE! I've been wearing glasses since 3rd grade and going here is amazing. I've never had anyone truly try to help when I'm picking out glasses other than my husband but Rolando really tried to recommend glasses that would fit my face and pointed out features on glasses that would really compliment and work with my face and eyes. 100% would recommend anyone looking for new glasses to check out this place. read more

I knew what I wanted going in! Ryanne helped me find some Chanel glasses and get them ordered. Two weeks later they came in and they were perfect!! Love this place and I will definitely be coming back again! read more

After picking up my new glasses I can best describe the staff at OC Eye Designs as... "easy on the eyes". read more

Recently changed optometry offices after 10 years to one closer to home. Today was my second yearly visit. Doctors are great and so is the frame selection. The office is very safe during COVID and following all guidelines. Looking forward to my new glasses coming in a few weeks! read more

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience. Half of the staff were very short and unfriendly. The exam itself was great but was extremely pricy. read more

I've been a patient with this office since they were near the Coco's Restaurant across Harbor Blvd. Dr. Wald's first practice. Long story short, my online, confirmed appointment was double booked and without notification I was unable to get in and turned away at the door. Before COVID-19, their CS was going downhill and now I am done with this place. I do not recommend this disorganized type of conduct. read more

This was my first time coming to this optometrist. First off, they are great with their COVID precautions. When I entered I was greeted by Emily, very welcoming and positive attitude. She was professional and helpful at answering all my questions while doing the pre testing. I was seen by Dr. Ansarinia. She was detailed in helping me with some concerns that I had. All in all, I am very satisfied with the overall visit and will be returning here for my optical needs. read more

Amazingly professional. Beautiful place, friendly staff. Perfect. Very helpful and patient finding the right contact lense for me

A wonderful update here! After seeing my post OC Eye Designs reached out to me immediately. They took responsibility for the lack of communication and even offered to hand deliver my correct contacts. Yes, hand deliver ! Now that's amazing client service. Also wanted to add how pleasant and apologetic they were . No attitude. No defensive energy. Thank you OC Eye Designs! read more

A great place and would highly recommend. They were able to repair my glasses no problem free of charge. The place is lovely, has a boutique feel to it and it is accompanied by a professional and pleasant staff read more

I have been a patient at OC Eye designs for over 6 years now. Not only is the office lovely and clean but the entire office is friendly. My exams are always thorough and I know I'm getting the best care for my eyes and sight. There is also always a great variety of frames to choose from. I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

Alysa Wald and her team have been my optometrist for approximately 9 years. All of the staff are professional, thorough and courteous. They are forthcoming about what is and isn't covered under my insurance plan as well, so no surprises at the end. Nice selection of frames and sunglasses to purchase, although more frames than sunglasses. They are doing an excellent job of staying safe through temp checks, minimizing bodies in the space, and distancing where possible during Covid as well. read more

Andrew just fixed my frames while I drank a delish butter coffee. I love this optometry Center for this kind of amazing service. For contacts, glasses, etc. read more
