From making my appointment to the picking up of my finished glasses, everything was seamless, quick and professional. The eye exam was thorough and not rushed. The experience of picking my glasses out was the same. The staff were super friendly, helpful and patient. They let you try everything on, give their feedback and you don't feel like you are being pressured to buy anything. I was really comfortable with selecting the right pair and even more pleased that my lenses only took 2 days to complete! I was so happy with my experience that I want to go back for sunglasses or a 2nd pair of eyeglasses to keep as a backup. Just a heads up, they don't take insurance, so if your vision insurance accepts them, you will have to file the claim yourself. But honestly the exam is $60, the lenses are around $90 for basic and then their frames start from affordable to high end. It's not really bad at all. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Review for optical services. It's so refreshing to have services like this. You walk in, and they're so friendly and they immediately acknowledge you, assist you, recommend what you need as far as glasses and lens go, and they're not pushy like the typical Korean stores. They helped pick out glasses for my two boys and they had their glasses made within a few days which was amazing. There was another optical I went to initially for the boy's eye exam and to get their glasses fitted there they told me it would take 2-4 weeks!! Anyways, super fast service, very courteous and kind. Highly recommend. read more

I bought sunglasses online that I really liked but kept sliding off of my face. I read that I could take them to an optician to get them professionally adjusted for a small fee. I saw that People Optical had good reviews and was nearby. They were super friendly and so helpful. They kept adjusting until I was satisfied. After all that great service, they refused to charge me even after I offered to pay. They were really wonderful. Thank you! read more

Honestly, where has People Optical BEEN all my life?? Law school has taken a toll on my eyes so I decided I needed a good pair of glasses that I could rely on and I had my eyes set on People Optical. THE MOOD: People Optical is located in the Cypress Village plaza. It is located off of the 5 freeway and you can see People Optical in the corner of the plaza as you are driving down Jeffrey. There is plenty of parking and many other shops here too, so you can also grab some food, do some grocery shopping, get your dry cleaning done, haircut, etc. The interior of People Optical is clean and bright. Sunglasses are to your left and there is a wide variety of designer glasses to your right. THE QUALITY: The quality of my glasses were top notch!! John, who was helping me find some glasses asked what kind of style I wanted. I said something with dark frames and he immediately recommended these brownish/red glasses from Oliver's People. They were a perfect fit and was exactly the look I was going for. **TIP: Go and ask for John. He is patient, will make great recommendations, and is diligent and efficient in his job. THE PROCESS/SERVICE: The whole process from getting your eye exam through to receiving your glasses felt absolutely seamless. I arrived (without an appointment) late Saturday afternoon and they immediately put me through to Dr. Chen in the back of the building who efficiently examined my eyes and provided me my prescription all for $70. After I received my prescription, I took it to the front and this is where John worked his magic in matching me with the perfect pair of glasses. He also called up my insurance and squared away how much I would be responsible for at the end of the day - AND, he threw in a 15% discount! Then, after I selected the perfect frame, he told me that I would be able to receive my glasses the SAME DAY! I was pretty skeptical - the SAME day and within a couple of hours? That sounded way too good to be true. So, I think I probably asked John about 5 more times to confirm I would receive my glasses within a few hours before I left to run some errands. To give you an idea of how fast I received my glasses, Yelp wouldn't let me check in again when i came back because it was less than 2 hours. Seriously, it was really that fast. OVERALL: The fact that the whole process from my eye exam to receiving my designer glasses all in a few hours was really amazing! I would definitely come back again for my next eye exam and for my next frames. The service and the efficiency is unbeatable. I will be back! read more

I just went here for the first time for my eye exam and everything was excellent. They took me on time for my appointment, they cleaned all equipment before I used it, the exam was very quick and everyone was very professional. This was overall a very good experience and I highly recommend this optometry business. read more

I would like to write a review of Duke how he was kind, patient, and polite with us. I went there several times for my kids glasses and three people have helped me. Duke was the most helpful and consiterate person that we felt very comfortable and grateful. He also explained about glasses really well and very patient with us that he did not make us feel uneasy. He was very professional and did the job effectively. If you want new glasses/sunglasses, I highly recommend getting them with Duke. You will be happy like our family did. Again, thank you so much, Duke! We'll see you again :) read more

This place is amazing! I dropped by to get my frames adjusted and I was immediately greeted by Sam. He was super kind and professional. I really appreciated his help and the care he took with my glasses. The store also has an awesome selection of frames. I will for sure come back here when I need a new pair! read more

This review is a little late. My son stepped on his glasses but they were able to fix it the same day. It was a quick fix and we normally do not go there for optometry. They happily took care of our issue and did not charge us! We will return this year for our eye exams. read more

I initially went to some fancy glasses store in Venice Beach for a particular rimless design from Entourage of 7 that was discontinued, but despite the impressive collection of styles and designs, that place tried to sell me on a Lindberg frame it had in stock without the customization that brand usually offers. This led me to look elsewhere. I found People Optical on the Lindberg site as one of their authorized dealers. While this place didn't have nearly the same in-store selection as the other place, it offered more genuine service--as opposed to sales tactics from the other place--at more reasonable pricing. This business is Korean-owned but the employees speak English and I was treated to being able to construct my frames in personalized fashion through Lindberg's customization tool via iPad. The bottom line is that I was able to get a more personalized rimless design from a trusted brand at a more reasonable price as opposed to being pitched on buying an old leftover pair of glasses a fancier store happened to have in stock at a higher price, no less, despite that fancier store's so-called "discount". On a whim, I also decided to purchase some non-prescription sports goggles I saw on display in store. I asked for a new pair but was given the display model instead, which had a small scratch on the lens. For me, it wasn't that big a deal since it was an impulse buy and I've only worn those goggles once, but it would normally be an issue for me. read more

I came in wanting to try and purchase a pair of Lindberg glasses. Firstly, Joon, the person who helped me, was very accommodating and friendly. Secondly, the prices were very reasonable. The glasses were custom ordered so they came in 2 weeks from the day I purchased them. And today, about a week and a half after picking them up, I received a follow up text from Joon asking how my glasses were working out for me and offered to help me if there is anything else I need with my new glasses. I'm happy to have come here for my glasses and highly recommend this place for new glasses. I already started referring my coworkers to People Optical for their next pair. read more

all the guys at the front were super friendly, professional and helpful. had my contact prescription checked and glass lens redone. the guy even provided a nice little case, he was really nice. would recommend them over any place. i believe korean owned but all speak perfect english too! read more

This place is wonderful! I got my eye examination here almost a year ago, and they still had my information. When I asked for copy, they sent it right away, which was really nice of them. A few weeks ago, I decided to get my glasses here. I would usually go to Costco for glasses, but they had a 2 week wait due to the covid19. This place was open and I'm glad I came here. The staff was very friendly and the prices were very reasonable as well. Joon was very helpful and explained the different lenses and frame types. It was a very quick and pleasant experience. read more

Great selection of glasses, affordable, and great customer service! I already had an eye exam this year and was only fitted for contacts, so I came here knowing I would be paying out-of-pocket for glasses. I copped a pair of designer glasses for $420 including prescription lenses with blue light filter and the exam. Joon very kindly and patiently helped me pick a pair of glasses. In the past, I've had problems where my glasses would be too tight, but the adjustments he made for the fit was perfect. My husband also came here to get new glasses. He normally gets his lenses thinned out, and Joon helped him decide which options would be best in terms of value and cost. Joon also helped fill-out the form to submit to VSP insurance for any claims allowed for my husband. read more

Outstanding customer service! I appreciated their helpfulness and conscientiousness throughout the entire process. Will return for my next pair of glasses. read more

Just got my glasses done here and I am so pleased! Customer service (shout out to Joon!) was so friendly and it was seamless getting a last minute appointment with the optometrist. They have a wide array of glasses from Korea (better fit if you have a nonexistent nose like me) that are super cute & lightweight. Highly highly recommend ! read more

I brought my glasses to get nose pads installed. I was warmly greeted by the staff and knew they were capable team that would do a good job. Thank you to Joon who contacted me after the service to make sure everything fit right! read more

First time customer and it was a great quick and easy experience. I was helped by JOON and he recommended me some new glasses styles that fit more with my appearance. He was helpful explaining what the AR coating and tint/ Polarized options were for my glasses and new sunglasses. The estimated time it would take was 1-2 days for my glasses and up to 7 for my sunglasses, but I was glad to hear they finished Both in 1 1/2 days. The optometrist was kind and experienced at her job as well. Overall, 10/10 Pretty satisfied! read more

They are professional and nice. Even though they don't contract with any vision insurances, they help you with the claim form and have everything ready for you to send to your insurance. I was so surprised that they filled out the specific claim form for my daughter's insurance company. Just picked up my daughter's glasses today. Very happy with their service and I will definitely go back!!!!! read more

I didn't see myself leaving a review for a place where I have my eye exam done. Don't know why, just never occurred to me. I have to say the service at People Optical was outstanding. Regardless of what it is that they do exactly, really. I could buy contact lenses from anywhere. But, the attention I received, patience, helpfulness and readiness to accommodate my silly requests - just blew me away. I left the place smiling. As to what I had done: I had an eye exam, I picked a frame and ordered glasses and some contacts, too. read more

I slept and sat on my glasses in the bed without realizing it, the frame broke into three parts last Saturday. First, we went to a same-day optometry located in the Mission Viejo to check if they can repair it. They gave me a quote: $58 for each frame leg, the total came up to $116 for both legs. Besides that, they didn't promise they can fix the frame, the lead time would be one week. What they proposed was: having a new frame and transferring the lenses. Then, I searched on the Yelp in the Irvine and "People Optical" popped up. My husband and I drove there and were warmly welcomed by Duke (hope I spell the right name). After knowing our intentions, Duke told us that they can help us repair the frame. When we checked how much would it cost, we were told it's free of charge. We didn't want to give him too much pressure and didn't want to gave him the impression that he must fix the frame back to normal. We can also accept in case the lenses need to be transferred to a new frame. He showed us some nice frame options and he didn't want us to spend additional money if the broken frame can be fixed. Wow!!! As customers who just visit People Optical, my husband and I are very convinced that their service is of the top notch!!! They think for customers even though they don't make any money out of it, even though we never bought any frames nor lenses from them before!!! I was indeed impressed by their service last Saturday. This Monday morning, I received a phone call from Duke, my broken frame was fixed and ready for pick-up. My husband helped me pick it up this afternoon. When I got home and checked the fixed frame this night, I found that they helped me clean my frame and lenses, they even prepared me a case with a clean cloth within. I highly recommend People Optical. My next pair of glasses will definitely come from People Optical. Their service is out of this world!!!!!And I do believe that their lenses and frames will be as good as their customer service. read more

I didn't buy glasses from People Optical but I brought in my glasses to widen them, as they were a little small and the arms were squeezing the sides of my face. The people working here are very cordial, and when I called them about my issue they said simply, "please come in, there won't be a charge." I had some doubts because the glasses were plastic and I wasn't sure by how much they could practically be widened. The person helping me spent a good amount of time on this, even taking out the lenses at one point to facilitate the widening. And when he handed them back to me, they were perfect! People Optical just moved to the top of my list for my next glasses purchase. read more

Detail oriented and a large selection of frames. Frames with lens was $129. First time to an optometrist in Irvine and looking forward to new visits. read more

John helped me pick out glasses that I am very satisfied with, and gave me helpful advice that was specific to my glasses use case that even led me to pick out the less expensive frames. He was very patient when I was picking out frames and even helped me to fill out my insurance claim form with VSP. Very smooth and fast service, would definitely recommend. Great frame selection for Asian faces and a wide range of price ranges. Much cheaper than other optometrist offices that I visited. read more

Don't give it another thought, just come here. I've never had this kind of customer service before at an optometry ever. The attention they give you to ensure your glasses needs are met is incredible. They clearly know what they're taking about. They took their time helping me pick out glasses and the glasses were ready so quickly because they had all the tools in-house. Just a few days! Not used to that at all. They can fix your glasses for free if you come in, and when I came in to pick up the glasses, they put so much attention to making sure it fit me. Wow! And the glasses turned out great. I am SO glad I came here thanks to the reviews, hope you come here as well! read more

*ordered contacts had them delivered two days later. Perfect. Great team and service as usual. *update^ I talked to John today and he helped me fix a pair of glasses that I was going to toss away that were broken. Luckily I decided to come in and sheepishly ask if he could spare some time and attempt to fix them first. These guys are great. I wish I could spam their account more - they are that awesome. Also they helped me get my new contact lenses too. I wish I knew of those place when I first started getting eye care 2 decades ago, they are very professional and knowledgeable. ---------------------- The owner and staff here are very friendly and take their time with you during the whole glass choosing process. The difficult part is that there are so many great frame options to choose from. It has been such a treat to get new glasses here. What a cool spot in Irvine. Kudos to Jake and team! read more

People Optical - Vision in a bag - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Irvine, California

I can say with confidence that this is the best optical in all of Irvine, heck, even all of California! That's how amazing this place is. Not only do they have a lot of frames that cater to Asian fits, they have a huge selection of frames to choose from, the cheapest promotion frames starting at $39 and they even carry Lindberg frames. (There's like twice more than the pictures I posted.) I chose a pair of Korean glasses from a brand called Carin. They also gave me 10% off on my frames because they were over $200. The workers here really take their time to help you find the perfect glasses that both fit your face, style, and budget. I'm really decisive, so I sat with Peter for at least half an hour, but he patiently helped me until I finally found the perfect frames for me. Another great thing about this store is that they are an out of network optical. Some may think of that as an inconvenience, but because they are out of network, their prices are much lower than competing stores (I've been glasses hunting for the past few weeks, I think I can confidently say their prices are extremely good.) If you have out of network benefits, you can claim for a reimbursement anyways. Win-win situation if you ask me! Another amazing thing is that they finished my glasses in 3 days! Crazy fast compared to other stores!!! There's just so many things to write about this establishment, like their cheap eye exams, super clean store, even the doctor was super detailed and thorough while doing the eye exam. They even fix and adjust your glasses for free! I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get a pair of glasses without getting ripped off! read more

Very top notch service! This place is a true example of going the extra mile for their clients. I found this gem by my cousin's referral. Clean and modern place I highly recommend. I was especially impressed with Joon. He was great guy that understand the customer fully and friendly and funny, most importantly honest. I will be referring my other families and friends to this location. read more

If you're Asian and need glasses or nose pieces added to your glasses to keep them from sitting on your cheeks, this is the place to come. I drive from Long Beach to Irvine and it's worth the trip. The guys who work here will make your glasses fit perfectly. They even swapped out my hard nose pieces for soft ones while I was using my bathroom. I came out and surprise! The very expensive glasses that I had bought at a store in LB suddenly fit and were FINALLY comfortable. Last added bonus is the store is very dog friendly! read more

Had a lot of asian fit glasses. Good selection and very helpful employees. Peter helped me pick out the perfect pair of glasses and adjusted them very well. Will be back again with my family read more

I really like this place! Everyone is super very friendly and gives you great customer service. They have a lot of cute glasses selections, especially tailored for the Asian community (it's hard to find glasses that stay on if you lack a nose bridge!). Also, all the glasses and lens options are super affordable. I've used this place multiple times to buy some extra pair of glasses without using insurance and it doesn't break the bank. I was also able to stop by to drop off a pair of glasses I just wanted the lens changed out, and I was able to pick them up the next day. Super fast service!!! I will definitely be coming back for my next pair. read more

I experienced fantastic service from Joon when I contracted the lenses on my Mykita frames to be replaced and when I picked them up the following week. The blue light glasses have helped with the eye fatigue. read more

I live no where close to Irvine but my work is... while working my contacts ripped and was blind. I called this place to see if they can provide me contact lens for me to use an immediate use and I was willing to pay for it. All I needed was a pair for my left side only. Their customer service was awesome and they were willing to give me a lens at a no cost. So I sent someone else to pick it up and they ended up giving three pairs for my left and right. I was so thankful... if I ever get the chance to visit this place for an eye exam, I would because I can tell that they are nice and value customers. Thank you for your kindness read more

I was in bad need of prescription sunglasses without wanting to spend a lot of cash. I hit up Costco first and noticed their low-priced frames with designer labels were very low quality, made of cheap plastic with a Prada logo. I came here, and I got a high quality $120 Marc Jacobs frame plus lenses for a total of around $260 with polarized lenses. I ordered on a Tuesday, got the glasses the next Monday. They cut the lenses there so you can pretty much have whatever frame. Props to .. James? He definitely knew what he was talking about, advised me correctly on whether or not 1.67 lenses were worth it for my prescription, which is pretty bad. In other news, my mom bought some Italian prescription sunglasses and paid a total of around $650. Guess I got the better deal. read more

Superb service! Everyone were very welcomed and helpful! John helped my fiance, me and my mom found the glasses we loved! He s incredibly patient and professional. Extensive selection of frames you can choose from. I will definitely come here whenever i need a glasses, sunglasses, or just change of the lenses! read more

Got my second pair of glasses here, and like my experience the first time, the service was exceptional and selections were awesome. I can't wait to go back to get a another pair of glasses (isn't it weird that I'm talking about glasses here? lol). By the way, if you come here ask for Jake the owner. He has a good eye for suggesting glasses that will suit your face shape, and cares that you walk away with a suitable pair of glasses that fit your face and budget. Check this place out, you won't regret it! :) read more

I followed Dr. Yoo over to this location since her evaluation is thorough. (She was able to see things that an ophthalmologist did not see right away.) The customer service here is really good. I like how they show you the different options and prices unlike other places that I have been to. I knew what type of lens I wanted for my son's sports goggles but they still showed me cheaper options and let me know of the differences. I always appreciate places that do that!! I stuck with what I originally wanted and will have to wait and see how it turns out. My son loves the glasses that he got from here. He says that he feels like it is crisper than the other place he got glasses from. Hopefully the goggles are too! read more

The optometrist is very good. After lasik surgery, I was told many times that I couldn't wear contacts. The Dr. Worked with me to find the right lenses that would work best for me. After my lasik when my vision started to go bad-yes it does go bad, I had to go back to glasses. I love that I can wear contacts again. The staff at the optic department are nice and helpful. I think it takes a little longer to get your order filled than my experience with other places but it's not terrible. I guess it depends on what you need to get. Over all great place to go. Not anymore costly than Costco I don't think but much better. read more
