Just left Scope Optometry...BEST PLACE FOR AN EYE EXAM AND GLASSES! Dr. Choi is amazing and patient. She was super thorough during the examination and explained everything she was doing. She voiced her concerns and gave me a vision plan. Unlike other places...I I didn't feel rushed at all when picking glasses. She and her assistant researched frames and colors I wanted. I ended up purchasing a pair of Celine and YSL glasses. I found my forever optometrist. Thanks, Dr. Choi! read more

Walked in with broken sunglasses. They helped me right away, had me in and out real quick and my sunglasses looking brand new

I don't wear glasses, never needed them :) but my 3 year old daughter and my wife both wear glasses/contacts. Dr. Choi is a total pro. She doesn't normally make kids lenses but she went above and beyond for my daughters glasses. When I took her for a check up to see her ophthalmologist, he literally said to me "who made these lenses? They are perfect." Dr. Choi is incredibly knowledgeable and truly cares for all of her patients. She's not like many others trying to make a buck and churn customers in and out. My wife is also extremely happy with Scope and specially Dr. Choi. She took the time to explain to my wife the condition of her astigmatism in order for her to explain why her vision was sometimes blurry despite wearing contacts. Scope is the best optometrist in Orange County. I will return to her for my family's vision needs. Highly recommend A+++++. read more

Everyone was very friendly and informative, and getting new glasses was a quick and easy process.

I broke my prescription and within few days I had full eye exam and new set. All that with great customer service

With plenty of locations to choose from for eye care and glasses, I was disappointed with the lack of personal attention from my previous optometrist and the difficulty of getting an appointment. I literally walk by Scope every morning and saw your can set an appointment on line and scheduled an appointment for my day off. Came in early to do the necessary paperwork and found I was done in 2-3 mins and off for the exam. It took me longer to pick out my glasses but the whole staff and the doctor provided input . I've found my new optometrist and if you're tired of being just another slot at some other office you should try Scope optometry. You're family here. read more

Just received my annual eye exam and the service was top notch! Dr. Choi and team made things super convenient and helped pick out the right glasses for me. I was used to going to LensCrafters and Target in the past but will be coming here from now on. The space and the environment is very modern and inviting. Highly recommend! read more

Scope Optometry - Beautiful office! - Optometrists Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Had such a great experience at Scope! I recently moved to the area and needed a new optometrist. I booked an appointment easily through the site. Showed up on appointment day and saw Dr. Choi. She's so incredibly sweet and kind. My prescription barely changed and I appreciated that she didn't pressure me to get a new pair of glasses. I still browsed around as I knew I wanted new sunglasses. The woman at the front desk was super helpful in pulling some recommendations. Dr. Choi also kindly offered to grab me contacts in my prescription so I could try on sunglasses easily without having to squint. Really great experience overall and looking forward to my next visit! read more

Very clean and gorgeous space in Newport area! Loved the selection of high end and high quality glasses and sunglasses. Also Dr. Choi is just the sweetest person ever. I felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire process. Will be back for sure! read more

Scope Optometry - Great selection of glasses! - Optometrists Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I had an amazing time at Scope! You can feel the love for people there through the entire experience. The place itself is really nice but still inviting. The modern equipment blew me away. They have an camera that takes a picture of the inside of your eye and you can see it yourself on the screen! WITHOUT DILATING. No funny sunglasses afterwards. No discomfort. And the image you get to see afterwards was fascinating. The other piece of equipment that blew me away was the one that dials in your prescription. Instead of the doctor flipping back and forth the whole time it has a left and right option. This is great since I have this weird performance anxiety when I typically go to an optometrist. I worry that I'm giving the wrong answer half the time and this extra tool gives me a better chance to decide which one is actually clearer. Then there's the people. Amber is super nice and can tell she's happy to be there. Doctor Joann was great of course but I was surprised at some of the more long term approach she had. For example she asked if I was interested in laser eye surgery and said that I would actually be better to do it sooner than later. I had always a thought I'd do it some day but she helped me realize that my nearsightedness will cause me to wear bifocals within about 10 years. With her conversation I've now simply decided not to get laser eye surgery because I'm happy with glasses and contacts which saves me a ton of money! Can't say enough wonderful things about Scope! Thank you so much for taking care of people. read more

I got my Celine glasses a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier! Dr. Choi recommended a special lens called Neurolens which helped with my neck pain and headaches. I was skeptical at first but now my neck pain and headaches have significantly decreased. Wish I would've known about this product sooner! The entire staff was very professional and patient while I picked out my frames with the lenses. I've found my local optometrist after trying a few other places. Highly recommend Scope, don't waste your time anywhere else. read more

Love that all the staff was wearing masks and taking all the precautions to make you feel safe. Dr. is great and love the detailed customer services. Even the thank you note when we got our glasses was sweet! Definitely recommend it read more

Husband and I got our eyes checked and the whole process was so smooth and quick. Dr. Choi is very thorough and professional. She sanitizes all the machines before they are used. The office is really modern, clean, and great selection of glasses! read more

One of the best selections of eyewear I've ever seen at an office. I love that they carry so many independent eyewear lines, many of which are local to the area. My boyfriend was able to use his insurance and got a discount on a second pair of sunglasses. One of my favorite pairs of sunglasses were missing its nose pads and I was able to get them replaced. The optician helping us was so nice and had great recommendations. If you're looking for unique and high quality glasses, this is the place to check out. I will definitely be back. read more

The most friendly, genuine and helpful people! I could not have had a better experience. I was surprised they even let me in on a Friday when they were closing in 10 minutes, but they were so welcoming, got my contact lenses sorted out (for a VERY fair price too), and Alberto even adjusted me and my husband's sunglasses so that they wouldn't fall off of our heads or slip down our noses. Thank you guys so much for setting us up for a great weekend of adventures! Apologies I don't remember the British lady's name, but she was amazing and put a big smile on my dial :) read more

This staff is amazingly responsive and helpful... the scheduling, the follow ups, and any help along the way with glasses/ contacts. I was a little high maintenance after not having contacts for a long time, and also needed some help after the fact with my scripts, and they were right there along the way. It was refreshing to deal with people that care and want to help. I look forward to returning and would highly recommend their business. read more

Got my glasses and exam done here and pretty seamless process! They have nice brands like mykita ahlem etc... highly recommended!

Getting new eyeglasses was my top priority. I had my heart set on a pair of Salt Aviators. Walking by the store I saw a pair of Salt frames in the window which prompted me to go in. I was immediately greeted by Amber who showed me all the latest styles in their inventory. She has the most unique and amazing sense of fashion and style. Amber has the knack of looking at a customer's personal sense of style and knows how to direct them to the best-looking frames which suits their style and budget. Even though I'm a tough fit, Amber made sure that she adjusted the frames to be super comfortable. I highly recommend both the store and Amber! You won't be disappointed. read more

If you have astigmatism, dry eyes, OR have a high prescription don't go anywhere else for your eye exams! I have moved around frequently so have had to see many optometrists but only Dr. Choi was able to find a contact prescription that fit my right eye well. She recommended an adjustment that made wearing contacts so much more comfortable and I no longer have to look for the tiny indent on my contacts to make sure I fit them in perfectly in order to see well. I have also had chronic dry eyes and she recommended I get a heat compress patch (that I bought off amazon) and explained why I have dry eyes (my right eye is not producing enough oils)- other doctors let me know my eyes were dry but only prescribed eyedrops that were temporary fixes. Thank you Dr. Choi! never knew how important it was to see a good optometrist before I met you. read more

Great service. I ordered a custom made pair of glass through this office. They took great care of me from the eye exam till the date I received my glass. Price is great too. I love the handwritten thank you card. Great personal touch from Dr.Choi. read more

Great friendly staff. I walked in and they have an amazing selection of designer sunglasses. They were super helpful and adjusted my sunglasses to fit perfectly! Will be back. read more

I had a great experience with Dr. Choi and Scope Optometry. It was so easy to make an appointment with them, and the online portal helped streamline the entire process. Dr. Choi is extremely personable and patient. She takes the time to get to know you, understand your needs, and explain your options to you without trying to upsell you on unnecessary upgrades. Highly recommend Dr. Choi and her amazing staff! read more

Scope Optometry is a new spot - and boy am I glad I tried them out. Dr. Choi and her staff are super helpful, and also mindful of the pandemic. The staff always wore masks and they have hand sanitizers readily available. Also, when you try on their frames, they actually have you put it down in a separate bin, which they then sanitize and clean. I just thought that was a great idea that I have not seen in other places. Additionally, Dr. Choi is very attentive and thorough in her examination. She used the retinal scan on my eye (you should do this!) and noticed an odd issue with my eye. She ended up taking multiple looks at the eye (using both the traditional methods and also the retinal scan again). She showed me all the images and her thoughts, and in the end, her recommendation was to refer me to a specialist to get it checked out for sure. Well, it turns out I did have a horseshoe retinal tear, and got it fixed immediately. Without Dr. Choi's patience and thoroughness, it would have never been found as multiple other optometrists have missed it (it looked like the tear had been there for years). Last but not least, the frames that Scope Optometry have are top notch. You may not see a wide variety of "high end brands" (Chanel, Ray-Bans, Oakley, Burberry, etc), but that's because those brands are all under Luxottica and are actually of lower quality than what Scope Optometry carries. Trust me - their frames are much better and on-point. I'm glad I stumbled on this place and will continue to go there for the far, foreseeable future. Thanks Dr. Choi! read more

I'm very happy that I decided to come to Scope! Dr. Choi and her staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. She was able to see something in my eye using a special camera that I can now monitor year over year. My previous optometrist never brought this to my attention. They had a very nice selection of frames, including Matsuda, which I got for myself. I was also able to try some contacts out for a few days to figure out which one would work best for me. I ended up going with an Alcon lens that feels way better than my previous contacts. I would recommend Dr. Choi to anyone! read more

I've been working from home and have had acute headaches from eye strains. I've never had glasses and haven't had an eye exam done in over 10 years. I was so fortunate to get my eye exam done by Dr. Choi. Dr. Choi was extremely knowledgeable and kind. She really helped me understand how important it is to have the correct prescription for my vision needs. Not only am I fully cured and no longer have headaches, I also have a great pair of stylish Garrett Leights. Scope seems to have the latest and greatest high-end glasses / shades in stock and it was amazing to try all of the brands on even some of the boutique high-end brands I've never heard of. Great to just go to one place to try on all of the brands I wanted in person. Loved the mid-century modern vibes and clean aesthetics of the shop a well. Everything was super clean and the Scope team was extremely thoughtful about keeping customers safe with solid PPE and safety protocols. Also, love how quick and easy the whole eyes exam process was. I get why Scope has such good reviews as there aren't many solid options available in the area for great personal service and the product suite of modern brands. read more

Excellent!! Cant say enough about Dr Choi and Amber. Top notch exam and professional and friendly front office. Great frames,so many designers to choose from. Chole, Salt, Gucci,Garrett Light and more. Ann G read more

loved my experience here! it was about time to get a new pair of eyeglasses since my last pair was from 6 (maybe 7 or even 8??) years ago and i was in dire need of an upgrade. there's a lot of great styles to choose from here, and it helped to get a second opinion on the glasses since it's hard to tell how it frames my face when half of it is covered by a mask. dr. choi was very patient and thorough in explaining the purpose of all the individual tests as part of the eye exam, walking me through the results, and how to better manage my eye health and care on a day to day basis now that i'm working from home and in front of screens all day long. you know that air puff test for glaucoma? i always hate that test, but dr. choi put me at ease when going through it. she also had advice for renewing my contacts vs. eyeglasses prescription since i'm pregnant and apparently eyesight can change during or even after pregnancy. surprisingly, i found out babies can get eye exams too (which makes sense, i just never thought about it) and dr. choi explained when would be a good age to bring a baby for their first eye exam and how she would go about assessing baby's eyesight. will definitely be bringing my baby to see dr. choi once she's born (and old enough)! read more

I have gone in several times to get glasses adjusted and they are so thorough and accommodating and pleasant when I need more contacts I will definitely order from them they have a great selection of fashion forward glasses and just a very cool environment such nice people read more

The nicest people/fabulous clean shop and my glasses are perfect! Everything and more than I expected!

I had a great experience at Scope Optometry. Dr Choi and Amber have been really helpful in making sure my last eye exam went smoothly and my new contacts and glasses were right for me. Dr. Choi goes out of her way to make sure the fit, comfort and ability to see (very important ;-) were spot on. She spent a long time both making sure my vision was correct, but also to work with my insurance to make sure I made the best use of my benefits. This was my first time seeing Dr. Choi after going to another provider for a long-time. I would highly recommend her and Scope Optometry and will definitely be going back. read more

Ever walk into a place and have this warm, cuddly, inviting feeling? Yup, that's Scope Optometry. Dr. Joann Choi and her superstar dream team make sure you come in and leave feeling that way. It's a clean setting, selection of frames is impeccable and well-curated, and you just honestly feel like a friend of the practice. This is the cream of the crop, chic, modern, stylish, and smart place to go for an eye exam, eyeglasses, contact lenses, and sunglasses. They've got state of the art equipment to analyze what's going on with your eyes. I got a toenail stuck in my eye. Don't ask me how. My eye was bothering me and thought I had a corneal abrasion. I was dying and tearing and had this terrible gritty feeling. When you have eye discomfort it truly affects your ability to function and get through the day. Dr. Joann did a thorough examination and thankfully it's just a really bad case of dry eye. I'm all healed up now and feel so much better. She did this amazing thing and taught me all about meibomian glands and well, I left feeling extremely informed and educated! Dr. Joann walks you through everything every step of her diagnosis and treatment. She has these really cool brands in the office when it comes to eyewear. Celine, Gucci, Ahlem, Mykita, and more! I think this is the only place in Newport Beach that showcases and sells some exclusive brands. Chic, savvy, stylish is what you need for your eyes, ladies and gents. Oh and that lovely fella helping out at the front! Her lovely husband, Tao! Such a sweet family! I support family-owned businesses, small businesses, and women-owned businesses! This is basically an amazing 3-in-1 package. Scope Optometry, I will be a patient for life! read more

Scope Optometry is the best optical shop I have ever been to. The store is spacious, contemporary, and spotlessly clean; The people there are very friendly, enthusiastic, and patient during the eye exam, personalized frame recommendation, and glasses adjustion. I would like to get glasses there even I live in Irvine. read more

Never again! The whole service was not adequate! You cannot rely on the date you can get your glasses!

I rarely write reviews, but once in awhile someone or someplace leaves that big of an impression on me. Dr. Choi and Amber are the most caring, patient and helpful people I have dealt with in a long time. I took awhile making a decision on my glasses. Came back a few times and every time they were so helpful. Only concerned that I made a decision I was happy with. They ended up having to hunt down a color I wanted. Then when they came in, I swear they were as excited as I was. I can not recommend highly enough. read more

My whole family comes here and we all love them. Scope is very flexible with my schedule; they have excellent service; and they always make me feel welcomed. I will always come here for my contacts and glasses and check ups! read more

Dr. Choi is so patient and is there to listen to all your eye concerns. Wasn't able to find a good optometrist so I haven't got my eyes checked for a few years but I am glad I have Dr. Choi now. What makes her practice better is it offers user-friendly online booking system, is easily accessible with plenty of parking spots and provides an unique selection of high-end designer frames! Love her thoughtfully curated product assortments! Between Dr. Choi's extremely professional eye care and a wide variety of highly sought after frame offerings, you will definitely leave her practice with what you needed! read more

I'm so happy to have discovered Scope Optometry. The place is beautiful and bright with many selection of eyewear. My eye examination with Dr. Choi was efficient and smooth. She and her staff were so patient and helpful in assisting me select the perfect pair of glasses. I will definitely return again for my next pair. read more

I had my first visit to Scope and was impressed by the very thorough eye exam with very advanced technology that really demonstrates the health of your eyes. It reassured me around concerns I've had because I was wondering if I had a deeper issue than just needing a stronger prescription. The practice is very clean and inviting and Dr. Choi is very professional, kind, and knowledgeable, and there is a very stylish range of eyeglasses. Thanks for a great appointment!! read more

Scope Optometry has been a trusted optometry for my past year. I constantly need my glasses adjusted and they are so helpful in catering to my needs. I recommend them for all eye glass needs. read more

I had an appointment for an eye exam here the other day and had a wonderful experience. Normally, optometrists will give me a quick exam and some new contacts, and send me on my way. But Dr. Choi took the time to explain my exam findings and possible next steps, which I really appreciated. Also provided me with a sample pair of contacts to try out before committing to the new prescription. I also plan on going back for a new pair of glasses when I have more time. I feel like other places I've been tend to have only the trendy, more flashy styles that will only look good for a year or two. But here, I found more of a variety in terms of style, suiting different face shapes, and price. Also, would like to happily note: covid-compliant. Glasses are constantly disinfected, all employees wear masks, and a wide open space. read more
