So during this whole pandemic I managed to have a very serious and critical corneal abrasion by rubbing my eye too hard and my sleeve cut my cornea. It then got infected and was one of the most painful experiences in my life. Dr. Amini was the first person I contacted because she was recommended through family and a mutual friend. Dr. Amini saw me while practicing the safest methods possible amidst the pandemic. She immediately identified the problem through a quick and thorough panel of tests, prescribed the best medications, and easy to follow directions. In the picture you can see the middle portion which is lighter in color. That was the tear! Like half the cornea! Not gonna lie I liked wearing a eye patch and looking like a pirate for a week while my eye healed-that was mostly my idea. After a few follow up appointments I was as good as new in 2 weeks time. Honestly a great doctor with safe practices and very friendly/professional staff. read more

The people in Eye glass world next door were also very helpful and really took there time to make sure that I received to right glasses and lenses Thank you Ann C read more

Dr. Amini literally saved my life! I was misdiagnosed with migraines and told to wait it out in a quiet dark place. My vision was blurry when most of the pain finally passed, so I came to Dr. Amini to get a new prescription for glasses through an emergency appointment. She was able to immediately tell me the true severity of the problem when my eyes were dilated and sent me to the E.R. I underwent brain surgery within a week to treat pseudotumor cerebri. I cannot thank her enough for using her superior skills and knowledge to identify a serious issue, so far beyond regular eye care! You are in great hands with Dr. Amini and her staff. read more

Dr. Amini was SO SO sweet!!! I had last had an eye exam at Costco and felt pretty rushed while I was there.. they also had my prescription wrong and I dealt with it for a year due to life happening and being unable to really find a new optometrist. I heard about Eyeglass World from a coworker and figured I'd give the Santee location a try and I'm SOOOOO glad I did!!! I booked the appointment and they had me go to the Regency Eye Care next door. Filling out the new patient paperwork was easy especially since they checked my insurance the day prior over the phone. The waiting room is super clean and spacious. The gentleman that was working was playing some music and he was funny and sweet as well (I feel terrible I didn't get his name!) Dr. Amini came out and greeted me with a smile and was super welcoming! My eye exam was fast and very informative. She gave me a pair of contacts to wear right away (which totally helped since I was so tired of wearing glasses) and now I can actually SEE. It's glorious what the correct prescription can do lol. And she even gave me a recommendation to a lasik center that I'm going to be going in for a free consult for! Until then, I don't plan on going to a different optometrist! LOVED her!! read more

Dr Amini is super knowledgeable and very personable. She is so great with my son as well. Will definitely be back. Also, eyeglass world right next door was pretty reasonably priced as well. Easy one stop shop. read more

Great stuff, fast and professional attitude Great Doctor. I really got good experience read more

This review was long due. I visited Dr. Amini for a detailed eye exam. I am diabetic and get my eyes checked twice a year. Dr. Amini and her staff were very courteous. It was almost a walk-in appointment at the last hour of the day. She performed all the preliminary tests/eye exams on day one and requested me to come next day for comprehensive retinal exam. She educated me on the ill effects of diabetes on eye sight, diabetic retinopathy (internal bleeding) etc. She not only cares for you, but also educates you about your eye care. Her mannerism and patient care are exceptional. Very highly recommended. read more

I had been with the same optometrist for over 23 years, who I adored. When she was no longer available, I (very hesitantly) had to find someone new. Very happy to have landed with Dr. Amini. She is both a professional and competent optometrist as well as warm and friendly. read more

Dr. Amini is the best! She helped my wife and I get proper prescription for glasses. Our appt was right on time. Dr. Amini is very professional and courteous. She got us in and out in a timely manner. I appreciated her knowledge and I trust her for any upcoming vision exams I will have. read more

Compared with past examinations at other places, I think Dr. Amini is one of the best. She picked up on a condition I have called Meibomian Gland Dysfunction that no one else saw. In addition to that, she re-examined me at no charge because I needed to have my prescription tweaked for near-distance and reading. Dr. Amini took her time and did not rush me, like other places have done. She is extremely thorough. Also, there is plenty of parking nearby and an excellent eyeglass store (Eyeglass World) next door. read more

Thanks to Dr. Amini I got my first contacts, it was so fast, clean and her staff was very welcoming, patient and helpful. The whole process took less then an hour and I got prescriptions for lenses and glasses. Glad I went to her, she is very professional and made sure I was happy. Thanks again!! read more

This was my first eye exam since moving to California over a year ago, and it was long overdue! Originally, I contacted Eyeglass World to set an appointment up for an eyeglass and contact exam, and they referred me to the optometrist next door! I asked if they had any openings today, and luckily they did! I arrived a few minutes early to my appointment and Crystal, the receptionist, gave me a form to fill out for the exam. The waiting area is very nice and clean and there is a lot of seating available. I went to the pre-exam room and passed them all. When I met, Dr. Amini for my exam, she was very nice and personable! I wasn't nervous and the exam was quick and thorough! She answered all of my questions and even offered me to try on the Bosch and Lomb Ultra contact lenses to see if I liked it (btw, I do)! After my exams, I met with Crystal again for payment, for both exams, it came out to $89! Mind you, I don't have medical, so I found that highly affordable! So glad I found an optometrist here in San Diego, thanks again Dr. Amini! read more

I have horrible eyesight. Just awful. And it's getting worse. Doesn't help that I have crappy insurance. But I finally broke down and went searching for an optometrist and came across Dr. Amini. I was even more surprised to find out I could get an appointment the next day. The office was neat and clean, her assistant (sorry, forgot your name) was wonderful and she got me checked in quickly. I was very surprised to find out they took my insurance so that saved me $52. Dr. Amini was great. She worked with me to get me the three different prescriptions I needed for eyeglasses (no multifocals for me, thank you) and made suggestions on the types of glasses and options to help with my eyesight. All in all, it was an easy visit. I'm really glad she's in the neighborhood and I will definitely be coming back for my follow up visits. read more

What an amazing experience today , How could getting an eye exam be an amazing experience? Dr Amini spent a considerable amount of time with me, making sure that my prescription was correct for contacts and glasses, giving me different options and comparing my current prescription to the potential new prescription. I valued her knowledge and professionalism, including her staff. The location is convenient and easy to find. Thank you Dr Amini read more

My husband and I were about 2 years overdue for an exam. Dr Amini and staff got us in on the same day we called. I had an old insurance card but she worked through it to find the correct insurance. Excellent customer service! Dr Amini and staff got us on track and in and out in less than 30 minutes. Top notch facility and service. We found the perfect optometrist! And EyeGlass world right next door is perfect. Thank you all read more

Dr. Amini is the best! They fit me in even though were busy and I was an hour late and got me into a way better prescription than I had. I can see! read more

Fantastic experience - modern, quick, and organized evaluation. From the front office staff to Dr. Amini - very personable, knowledgeable, and attentive. Most medical appointments are a mess - wow, if all Doctor's offices could operate this way. read more

Dr. Amini and her staff are great. Overall, great experience for myself and my kids.

Dr. Amini was very professional and very attentive. I really liked that I did not have to wait at all. Another added bonus was that it took no time at all to do the exam. Robert at the front desk was super friendly and walked me over to get my glasses. Will be returning her for my annual eye exams. read more

My experience at Dr. Amini's office was great. From the time I was greated by the friendly assistant at the front desk to the eye exam with her, the visit was awesome. My appointment was at the end of the day and it was quick and to the point. She was very informative and honest. I'll definitely be back next year when another eye exam is needed. read more

Excellent service here! Dr Afsaneh was very thorough in her evaluation of my eye exam. She discovered I was allergic to my current contacts and prescribed an alternative to over come my issue. I feel relieved she took the extra step and highly recommend anyone needing an eye exam to go see her. read more

I had been way overdue for an exam and needed new glasses. Dr. Amini and her staff were great to work with. I was in and out in no time. Thank you! read more

I made a last minute appointment to get contacts, they were very nice over the phone and told me I could come on in. When I arrived I was greeted kindly by the lady at the front desk. She handed me some paperwork to fill out, while I was filling the paperwork out the Dr came in. She was nice and made conversation with me while I was sitting and filling out the papers. I was the only person in at the time so it was nice because the Dr was able to give me her full attention and I did not feel rushed. The exam itself was quick and I was in and out in about 20 minutes. She was very nice and friendly which is not something you get very often these days. I liked her so much that I came home and recommended my step father to go to her because of how great of an experience I had. He has an appointment this coming Monday. 10/10 would recommend you come here. I will continue coming to her as long as I can because of how wonderful of an experience I had. Bonus is she has a cute dog calendar on the front desk read more

Dr. Amini did my first check up yesterday and my experience was beyond good with her. As soon as i walked in i was greeted very warmly and Dr. Amini was very knowledgeable with her answers to all my questions and concerns. I highly recommend this office to anyone who is looking for a great eye doctor in San Diego. read more

I visited Dr. Amini last week for the first time and it was by far the best eye appointment I have ever had. Not only is she charming and very easy to talk to, but she is amazing at what she does! Her staff is also incredibly friendly and helpful...I had to reschedule my appointment a couple times but nobody ever made me feel unwelcome or put out by my scheduling issues. I left feeling well taken care of and excited knowing I had found an optometrist I plan to stick with for a very long time!! Thanks again Dr. Amini! read more

I found this place on yelp about a week back and made an appointment to get a second opinion on my diagnosis. No wait at all when I walked in, right into the exam room. From my experience with medical offices, it was very unique that the doctor sat down with me for 30 minutes, listened to all I had to say and made recommendations backed with actual knowledge. As I suspected the prior doctor I saw tried to get me into a procedure that was not at all needed. It was a pleasure to walk away from a medical visit feeling certain. I do appreciate the service here. Knowledgeable doctor, treats you like family and a real pleasure to speak with. read more

Scheduled appointment specifically with Dr Afsaneh Amini, and confirmed appointment. Upon arrival filled out paperwork, assistant had me look into 3 different instruments, and then told me the name of a doctor that I did not know would be right with me. I was asked to wait in the lobby. Having experienced a similar situation with another optometrist office that turned out to be a disaster I asked the assistant to repeat the name of the doctor. When the wrong name came out of her mouth I reminded her that my appointment was with Dr Amini, and was told she is not coming in today. However the other doctor is really good. I really don't appreciate being inconvenienced, or misled when I made the appointment. Cancelled!! read more

It was time for my annual eye exam and decided to get it done by Dr. Amini. The exam was quick yet thorough. Dr. Amini and her staff are super friendly and professional, and the office space is clean and looks great. I needed a new prescription for contacts as well. My job doesn't offer vision insurance, so I was fortunate enough that Dr. Amini's office is quite inexpensive as far as out of pocket costs go. I want to say that they are similar to Walmart optical prices- however, this office is much nicer, private, and personal in comparison to a place like Walmart. Overall, getting my exam done here was a positive experience- easy to make an appointment, fast and helpful service/exam, and got what I needed at a fair price. read more

Super friendly and professional staff! Very thorough and caring. Definitely, go to continue coming here. I'd recommend to everyone looking for an eye doctor. read more

Wonderful experience. I'm now a lifetime customer. Professional and courteous. Highly recommended.

My Family always has a Great Experience with Dr. Amini. She is so Kind and thorough. Also, having Eyeglass World next door makes the whole experience smooth and easy. Finding Dr. Amini was so refreshing and a blessing for my boys and I. We will be coming back for years to come. read more

Dr. Amini and her staff are helpful, efficient and friendly. Dr. Amini has been my doctor for about two years. It is always a timely and pleasant experience! Her office makes it easy to book an appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Amini's eye care services! Dr. Amini and her staff are trustworthy, thorough and knowledgeable. 5-star eye care service in San Diego County. read more

She was fast and very nice really good experience, the lady front desk she was awesome I really recommend this place

Such a wonderful staff! Dr afsaneh amini was super friendly as well as the receptionist. She was very informative and made sure to answer any questions before I left. I will definitely be visiting this office for future eye exams read more

Dr. Amini and her assistant are WONDERFUL! I called and was able to get an appointment the same day. This was my first eye exam so I was a tad nervous and Dr. Amini's assistant (I feel horrible for not remembering her name) was there to walk me through the whole process. Once she helped complete the first portion of the exam, I met with Dr. Amini and she was just as amazing. Dr. Amini was very friendly and informative. She chatted about our weekends and she truly seems to care for her patients. After the exam, Dr. Amini's assistant walked us next door to look at glasses and before she headed home for the night she came back over to check on me to see if I found glasses and even helped me look at a couple pairs. Who goes out of their way, after a long day at the office, to help someone find a pair of glasses? That's just great customer service! I highly recommend coming here for your first or annual eye exam! I'm now a lifetime customer! read more

I seen Dr Amini for the first time today. She was very helpful, patient and friendly. Great experience overall!

Dr Amini is a great optometrist. She is very smart and gave me detailed information about the overall health of my eyes. I would recommend Dr A to anyone who needs a thorough exam! read more

Dr. Amini and her staff are amazing. Super quick and easy, no waiting. Hands down, the best. I would recommend anyone to come here.

Dr. Amini and her staff are AWESOME! I was in desperate need of new glasses and even more so an eye exam. Scheduling my appointment over the phone was painless.When I arrived for my appointment the following day (which was my choice because they could have seen me same day) there were a few people waiting to be seen, which had me to believe that this was going to take awhile. Nope! I was done with my exam in the blink of an eye! Get it!! Hahahaha I crack myself up!! But no.....All jokes aside, my experience here truly couldn't have gone any better and I will definitely be recommending Dr. Amini any chance I get!! read more
