brought my 6-year-old son to Project Eye Care Optometry, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we walked in, the front desk assistant was welcoming, professional, and so kind -- she immediately made us feel comfortable and taken care of. Dr, Cano got us in right away and was absolutely wonderful with my son. He was patient, friendly, and great at explaining everything in a way that both of us could understand. You can tell he truly loves what he does -- he took his time, never rushed us, and made sure my son felt at ease throughout the entire visit. Everything about the experience felt personal, professional, and private. The level of customer care here is outstanding -- you don't feel like just another patient, but like they genuinely care about you and your family. If you're looking for an optometrist who is knowledgeable, passionate, and great with kids, I can't recommend Project Eye Care Optometry enough. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

I've been going to Project Eye care for awhile. The staff here are all really professional and friendly. The pricing is reasonable and they take my insurance. I love the variety of frames that they carry. In particular they have a lot of frames that were made to suit Asian faces. Making an appointment online is super easy. And I love how responsive their team are to any questions you might have. I definitely recommend coming here for your eye care! read more

The initial visit to Project Eyecare Optometry was exceptional. The staff was warm and professional, the clinic was impeccable, and their innovative vision testing, including color and dimension assessments, was unlike anything encountered before. read more

I am unsure of where to begin, but I can confidently say that our experience with Project Eyecare has been nothing short of amazing. My nine-year-old son was suffering from daily headaches after school, and despite seeing multiple eye care professionals, we still didn't have answers. It wasn't until an ophthalmologist referred us to Project Eyecare for vision therapy that we finally found hope. Scheduling with Dr. Cano was incredibly easy and efficient--we were able to complete the initial evaluation within the same week. From the very beginning, the staff was warm, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. The office is always clean and welcoming, which made each visit comfortable and stress-free. My son underwent a thorough evaluation, and it was determined that he would benefit from four months of vision therapy with Jess. The team conducted two in-depth assessments to create a customized therapy plan tailored to his specific needs. Now, four months later, I am truly amazed at how much his vision and coordination have improved--and the daily headaches have nearly disappeared. I had no idea how much more there is to vision beyond just seeing 20/20. Thanks to Project Eyecare, my son is thriving again. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any parent whose child is struggling with similar issues. Their care and expertise made all the difference for us. Thank you Dr.Cano and Jess!! read more

Project Eyecare Optometry - My daughter getting her checkup with Dr Tsai. She's AMAZING!!! - Optometrists Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

I have not had an optometrist appointment in about a decade and they made it a very smooth, pleasant experience! Their glasses selection is pretty good overall and they were able to explain my benefits pretty clearly in terms of coverage percentage for each option. I would definitely recommend. read more

Moved to OC area over 2 years ago and needed to find a new local optometrist. Asked a friend that we lived with where his was and he suggested Project Eyecare (which was a suggestion from his coworker lol). My friend said he liked this place and I trusted his opinion on it so I decided to check them out since I also didn't want to do the research of finding a new optometrist. Upon first meeting, everyone there is SUPER friendly and caring. Front staff and optometrists are very welcoming and never made me feel uncomfortable. During exams, both doctors (I've seen Dr. Cano and Dr. Tsai) tell me in detail on what's happening with my eyes, prescription and give recommendations. I've been so used to rectangle frames that when Dr. Cano said I could do round frames I was shocked. My previous optometrists never allowed me to do so because my prescription was so high - but Project Eyecare made it happen and I love my new frames! I've continued to stay with them since I moved to Irvine and cannot be happier! I've always been taken care of here and the staff is very transparent and don't try to scam you. Highly recommend them if you're in the area! They are also very kid friendly!! read more

Dr. Cano is incredibly thorough in his assessments and consults. Short wait times and staff is friendly!

I found this optometrist during the later part of COVID when my previous one would not let patients in without a mask. It's been a refreshing change and I am always seen quickly. The optometrist is super friendly and caring and takes his time. read more

My son age 7, started OrthoK in March of 2023, almost a year later and we are going strong wearing contacts at night, and 20/20 during the day. It's amazing! His intital Rx was like -6.25, so on the edge of being able to do OrthoK. Dr. Tsai is great, and it is totally worth the investment, especially if your child has a fast deteriorating near sighted Rx rate. read more

Great service from all the staff, especially the optometrists. Good vibes, and it looks like the place is also great with kids.

Awesome business! Very nice staff, clean office. We are very happy with the myopia treatment.

We love Project Eyecare. Just signed our third year, this time only for maintenance follow up. Very pleased with Liam's eye result in managing his Myopia with the Ortho-K lens. Thank you to the amazing Dr. Tsai and her staff for all the knowledge and help dealing with my son's Myopia. He hasn't worn his glasses for 2 yrs and he's able to carry on with his daily activities and sports. read more

Excellent personal care and all questions answered. A pleasure to visit this office. Pam B.

Project Eyecare is still my number one choice when it comes to taking care of my eyes. While I originally came because the office was pretty, the team is the reason I continue to come back. Every single time I interact with a team member, whether it's in person, over text, or over the phone, they are always helpful, kind, and friendly. I just got back from the office today and wanted to give a special special shout out to Spencer and Katie! Spencer has worked tirelessly over the last few weeks to ensure that special ordered pairs of glasses have come in for me to try. He also greeted us today with a drawing of Mickey and Minnie with our names on it. How cute! Katie spent a very long time with us today going over 10+ pairs of glasses to make sure that we were happy with our choice. Throughout the process, she was so kind, helpful, and patient. I have never experienced the level of professionalism and kindness in one office. Project eyecare is fantastic! read more

Love Project Eyecare! My eye exam was the most detailed eye exam informing of how to improve my vision. I completed 2 years of myopia management with Dr. Tsai and Dr. Cano! It was a great journey because it improved my vision, slowed down the progression of myopia, and makes my everyday vision comfortable. I feel well taken care of and can trust my eyes will be treated well at project eyecare. I love their selection of glasses and sunglasses! The have a curated arrangement of brands that ranges that have unique styles and are well made. The employees at PE are kind, helpful, and quick to respond. Overall would 10/10 recommend Project Eyecare! read more

My husband comes here since we were looking for a new optometrist after moving to the OC. And let me tell you this place is probably the BEST office we've been to. It's clean which is extremely important. The staff is friendly and they always explain billing when it comes to your insurance. Booking an appointment is a breeze, just simply call to schedule. Dr. Vincent Cano is GREAT. He's friendly and actually takes the time to get to know you. So don't expect him to just pop in for 5 mins and leave. NO he will STAY beginning to end. Answer ALL your questions makes sure you understand everything before leaving the room. You truly get quality care here. Trust me you won't want to go anywhere else. read more

Project Eyecare has exceeded my expectations in every way. Their customer service is outstanding: in person, on the phone, and via text. Dr. Cano sees myself, my husband, and my two young kids and we have all had an enjoyable experience. Overall the office is sparkling, and the lobby is built for kids with toys, books, and snacks. Dr. Cano has been incredibly educational, going above and beyond to explain terminology and explain what we can do to help prevent myopia in our kids. Last summer I completed eye therapy which was a significant financial investment but I appreciated being able to get to the root issues of my symptoms and retrain my eyes - and they've never felt better! I cannot more highly recommend Project Eyecare! read more

Wow. Just wow. If you're looking for an optometrist with integrity. This is the place. Backstory: I brought my toddler to a different optometrist that specialized in children last year that left me wondering if I should bring my son to another doctor. My son was blinking a lot so we thought we'd get his eyes checked. He got prescription glasses (which are super cute) but the whole experience was traumatic bc she was pushy and repetitive. She didn't have alternative tests to fall back on so she just kept forcing him to obey while he cried and screamed. She relied on one toy in her office and only one way to test his vision. We had to visit every 6 weeks and you can see how traumatized my 3-year old was from each visit. The office staff was horribly unfriendly and inefficient as well. Fast forward to finding Dr. Cano and Jessica at Project Eyewear. Jessica is absolutely the loveliest person ever with a really good sense of humor. She and Dr. Cano did not pressure my son into any tests and rolled with the whims of a 3-year old effortlessly. I was surprised that they had a number of different ways to test the eyes bc they know that toddlers aren't always going to do what they're asked. Brilliant, right?! My son immediately took to both of them and did not cry whatsoever. It doesn't hurt that they have snacks and a spot for kids to play! Anyway, long story short: they determined my son did NOT need to wear glasses and had better than 20/20 vision!! Can you believe that? Given that they're a new business, they easily could've had me pay money to get my son new glasses but they deemed he didn't and had us come back in 6 weeks just to recheck and didn't even charge me for the revisit. THAT my friends is OUTSTANDING service! Since that experience I've converted over from my old optometrist that's literally 5 mins to my house and am now a patient at Project Eyecare. I noticed that they price their frames at really reasonable rates. I'm so used to optometrists charging $300 or more per frame but they have really cute lightweight frames less than $200 range that is covered by my insurance. I'm tempted to get a second set of frames -- that's how really reasonably priced they are. I also love that they answer the phone "how can I help you see better?" That's super stinkin' cute! They're such good people and deserve all the customers. I hope they survive thru this COVID-19 mess. read more

My son had great results with vision therapy. Dr. Cano and Jess have been so helpful. Staff is friendly and caring. Definitely recommend

I came to Project Eyecare, as they were one of the few offices I found that carried baby/toddler eyewear! I couldn't be more impressed with their kindness toward my daughter and patience as we found the perfect pair of glasses. Special thank you to Jessica who went above and beyond ordering extra frames in multiple colors so we could get the cutest pair! We will be back next year for the pink frames! read more

We've been going to see Dr. Tsai for 2 years for Myopia Care, specifically Ortho K, for my now 14yr and 12yr olds. The staff is always very friendly. The location is clean and inviting, and their waiting area is great for entertaining little ones. Very very rarely have we had to wait long for our appointments. Dr. Tsai is patient and attentive when actually seeing us. I appreciate that she very knowledgeable and answers all our questions thoroughly. You really do feel like they want the best for their patients. read more

Awesome optometry! Visited last year and came back this year for my eye exam. Always appreciate Dr. Tsai's and Dr. Cano's thorough examinations for ocular disorders. I've found that they check for health conditions that my previous visits to other optometrists and ophthalmologists didn't check for or even mention. Very happy with my experience! Will definitely come back to this optometry next year!! read more

Wow.. all the reviews are on point. I came here in need of an eye exam since I had moved from my home town a couple years ago. I was way over due. I was recommended by friends and my husband had also recently gotten eye exam, glasses and contacts and he could not stop raving about the service and the office itself. I was able to get a next day appt! My exam was with Dr. Tsai. She was extremely knowledgeable and even diagnosed me with astigmatism. The exam was very thorough and it left me feeling like she truly cared about my eye care and the future of my eye health. Dr. Tsai and the office staff Jessica spent a lot of time helping me choose the perfect frames that took into account functionality, usage, my high prescription, my face shape, and nose contour which I enjoyed! They did not mind my indecisiveness one bit. Dr. Cano also added his personal suggestions and it really helped me choose wisely. Additionally, I work on the computer a majority of my day, and I had voiced my concern about feeling dizzy and getting a headache when driving and using the computer with my old glasses. They suggested a blue light blocker and a lens that helps ease the strain on the eyes with high screen time usage. My glasses came in in 2-3 days! (Awesome) With covid-19 social distancing and restrictions, I was still able to pick up my glasses and contact lens. Again, the customer service, the professionalism, and the knowledge/expertise here is top notch! Not to mention, the office is a beauty--so clean, modern aesthetic, very kid-friendly (speciality in child eye care program)! They had a good selection of eyewear, especially for asian faces like mine. I now wear my salt eyeglasses all the time and the anti-reflective coat and blue light blocker has been a game changer. I would highly recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you again Project Eyecare! read more

We just finished a successful 16 week vision therapy for our 8 year old daughter. She no longer needs glasses to solve her vision convergence issue. Jess and Dr. Cano are amazing. Communications with the office are outstanding and friendly. We can't say enough. Planning and execution of the therapy plan is meticulous and realistic. Definitely give them a try! read more

From the initial phone call to set my appointment, to walking into the office, throughout my exam, and picking out the right pair of glasses... the service was top notch exceptional - nothing beats it. The office was beautiful, inviting and warm. Their staff are very kind, friendly, attentive and thoughtful. Jessica helped me out from start to end, she was the sweetest, she really made sure I was comfortable and understood the entire time. Dr. Cano was the best; he's easy going, friendly, professional and very thorough. You can feel that Project Eye Optometry cares about you. Thank you Dr. Cano, Jessica and Project Eye team for making my visit so pleasant and beautiful. See you at my next exam . read more

For eye therapy, they were a waste of time and money. I'm really disappointed with this place. My husband received a referral from his neurologist because he has a concussion that is lasting a long time. The staff were all friendly.. My husband had an exam with Dr Cano and he said he could help and his assistant Jess would get back to me with the cost. We knew they don't accept insurance for eye therapy and paid $300 for the consultation. Jess said that it would be a year commitment at $11,000. We could either pay all at once, or make payments of $873 a month or pay with a credit company. WHAT? That's astronomical! I said we were not comfortable committing to a year because what if he is better in months or it doesn't work. Then she said we wouldn't have to commit to a year but would still have to pay the $873 a month. I asked if we could just pay per therapy appointment like every other therapy my husband does (occupational, physical and speech) and she said no. I told her that would not add up... one therapy a week does not equal to $873. She said it includes the fees and equipment. My husband is on disability and is not working. How could we pay that amount?? That's ridiculous. I think they needed us to help fund the eye therapy part of their business. I called other eye therapy companies and also spoke to his other therapies and none of them understood how we cannot pay per therapy session. This company doesn't care to help people they just want money. I wish I would have known before wasting time and money. read more

I had my annual eye exam for the first time in this area this morning at Project Eyecare. I found them through my insurance, I was having a hard time finding an office that took my UHC plan so when they said they did I snagged the first appointment I could. The office is very nice and clean and the staff were very nice and friendly upon my arrival. Dr Tsai was fantastic. She was very down to earth and understood that I was under a time constraint. She was very efficient and thorough. I also didn't realize that this location has a pediatric optometrist as well, I'm so happy to find a place to bring my kiddos too! I'm so glad to have found an eye doctor in this area that I like so much. Thank you! read more

I used to see Dr. Tsai at her previous office and really love this new office. Project Eyecare has a very modern and sleek vibe. I noticed that they carry really cool glasses brands that promote social responsibilities as their corporate mission (learned that from the waiting room books on the brands), which I thought was quite cool. When I walked in, I was able to fill out all my information on their tablet in just a few minutes and was quickly taken to do my pre-exam testing. The technician Jessica was so friendly and professional. In my past experience, a lot of times the technicians just go through the motions but that's not the case with Jessica. She really made me feel welcomed. I also love all the technology/tablets/machines they use in the office. Dr. Tsai was great as always. I've been seeing her for years now and she always keeps good notes on my vision's progression. She always recalls how my vision has changed over the years and knew what we spoke out the year before so I know she reviews my notes prior to seeing me. I love it when doctors take the time to do that because it shows they really care. Another reason I love seeing Dr. Tsai is that she really passionate about eye health. She's not just trying to give me my new prescriptions and move on but always asks questions about my contact lenses usage and my overall eye health. She even noticed I have allergies issues just from looking at my eyes and made suggestions on how to keep my eyes healthy. Overall, I'm very happy about my visit and love the new office. read more

I recently visited Project Eyecare for my annual eye check-up in December. It was about a year since my last exam so I was a little nervous going but the staff at the office made me feel very comfortable. Their shop is brand new and the office is designed so nicely, very inviting. I was welcomed by a smiling face and quickly attended to. Jessica (who was at the front desk) also did my early prep eye work. She was super friendly and knowledgeable and it all went smoothly. I was seen by Dr. Cano, who was also very kind and answered all my curious questions and took the time explain everything in detail. It felt good to know I was being taken care of by someone who really knows his craft. I got my first pair of glasses ever in my life from Project Eyecare, which also brings me to my next point of their great selection of frames. They have so many options to keep you up to date with all the trends and styles. I'm glad I found a great place to keep my eyes and vision healthy with such a great staff. Check them out if you're in the area and in need of vision and eye assistance or even new frames. read more

I will continue to use Project Eyecare Optometry for all my annual visits! The Office Manager, Jessica, is always so welcoming and helpful. Dr. Cano and Dr. Tsai are extremely pleasant and are always available to answer questions and concerns. They spend the time to make sure the patients understand what's going on with their eyes. Their location is easy to find, with plenty of parking. The interior is extremely clean, organized, and trendy. We did not have to wait very long as the doctors were punctual. Dr. Cano greeted us with a big smile and was super nice. The procedures are up to date and very thorough. I highly recommend going here for your eye care needs, I loved my optometry appointment! This was the best experience I've had with any optometry clinic! read more

Worked both with Dr. Tsai and Dr. Cano for my routine annual check-ups as well as after I had received Lasik!

I am so happy I found Project Eyecare in Mission Viejo. As someone who has worn glasses and contacts since I was 6 years old, I have been to numerous optometrists and have had a variety of different experiences. I went in for my annual check up with Dr. Tsai and she was very knowledgeable and took the time to make sure my prescription was correct, and also thoroughly checked the health of my eyes. I felt more educated about my eye health in general, and Dr. Tsai helped me develop a care plan to improve my dry eyes. I also ended up getting my Lasik pre and post-op care at Project Eyecare, where I saw both Dr. Tsai and Dr. Cano for my checkups. I could tell that they really cared and took the time to make sure I had all my questions answered and that I understood everything they were checking for. They even discovered an issue with my retina that I need to monitor from now on, which I had never been told before. Their office is modern with up to date technology, and their staff is very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be going back to Project Eye care in the years to come, and would recommend them to anyone I know! read more

We visited Project Eyecare a few months ago and immediately impressed by the decor. Very nice ambiance when entering the door. The staff was extremely friendly and quick to respond to our needs. They even had a Children's area where our 3 kids were being entertained. Everyone knows how hard it can be to make decisions when you got 3 children vying for your attention and touching things. Vince and Connie were really keen on giving advice on my wife's glasses and they turned out great. I would highly recommend Project Eyecare to my close friends and family to visit. read more
