Dr.Tang and her staff are lovely! My first eye exam with her went great. She is very thorough and wanted to make sure I was good. I was lucky to find her as I just moved down from the Bay Area. I would highly recommend her. read more

My eye health has always been a priority in my life. Dr. Tang and her staff are great! I first saw Dr. Tang in the beginning of 2020, while I was pregnant. She and her staff were friendly and very cautious about COVID, in wiping down the equipment to wearing masks. Dr. Tang was very thorough in her examination. She made sure I was comfortable and understood my concerns. Almost a year later, still they are diligent in keeping their patients safe with masks and wiping down equipment before and after use. The positive reviews are real! I felt they only offer certain "add ons" or additional tests when necessary. They are not pushy like some other places. Dr. Tang is old school, in a good way! I've been to the newer "state of the art" places where they'd utilized machines to measure your eye sight. I found that to be less accurate for me and was very expensive. That year, I had to look for another doctor to correct my vision. Also, I can email them if I have any questions. So I am very happy that I found Dr. Tang and so grateful she's close to my house as well. I'd definitely recommend my family and friends to go to her. read more

Dr. RUTH TANG is fantastic! I was well treated, the staff is kind and well educated too. They also have a wide variety of frames, which is helpful. read more

Dr. Ruth Tang and her staff were awesome. I made an appointment for my wife as she was in need of some reading glasses, and for myself for a new contact lens prescription. They didn't have a massive selection of glasses to pick from, but after some assistance from a super nice and helpful elderly lady, my wife was able to find a nice Tiffany&Co. pair which look great and didn't break the bank. The only 1 thing I'd say to check on before you go in is on the initial eye exam fee. The exam itself went great, Dr. Ruth Tang did a thorough exam and was great to talk to. When it came to pay, however, I was charged $150.00 for what I assume was for the eye exam and contact lens fitting fee (even though I have VSP insurance). Nevertheless, the service was great enough where I was happy to pay. Due to my astigmatism in my left eye, Dr. Tang suggested I try out the Acuvue Moist contacts to see how I like them. A week later on my follow up I placed the order for my contacts. Dr. Tang and her staff (Michael and Chi(I think was his name)) helped get me the best deal on a years worth of contact lenses - something no other Optometrist has ever done for me. I would highly recommend Irvine Optometry and Dr. Ruth Tang! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Tang for 3 years now, and every time has been a great experience. Dr. Tang is very kind, professional and knowledgeable, and her staff is warm and welcoming. This is a great optometry in a convenient location of OC. Highly recommend for all your eye care needs. read more

I am a new patient of Dr. Tang's, and I expect I will be going to her for quite a while! Right away when I scheduled my appointment, I could already tell how caring the entire staff at Irvine Optometry is. They made sure to send all the appropriate forms right away into my email, and were very patient in explaining the specifics of the forms as needed. I arrived a little early for my appointment expecting to wait a little while, but they took me back almost right away. One of the ladies on staff took down some more information about my previous prescription, then took a few measurements down. Retinal scan is offered for ~$40 extra, but nobody will push you to do it. Still, I thought it was neat that they offered it. After another brief wait, I went in to see Dr. Tang. She was very knowledgable, and also very patient in answering all my questions. I don't think I've ever learned so much about eyes in one day! She was also happy to chat with me while she switched between tests. I always find it very pleasant when doctors seem to care about their patients as people, so that was a big plus for me. Once she had decided my prescription, Dr. Tang even took the time to talk me through what the best way to go through my insurance would be, so that I wouldn't have to wait longer than necessary between getting glasses and contacts. She also gave me multiple different kinds of sample contacts in my prescription to make sure I find the best fitting ones before making a purchase. Lastly, when I went to pick out glasses, another staff member came through without being asked and helped me to find a few different pairs to try on in the style I was looking for. He even went to double check in their computer system when I lamented that a style I liked didn't come in quite the color I was hoping to find. In the end, I was able to find just the perfect set with his help! Dr. Ruth Tang is truly the best of the best, and she fosters an environment with her staff that allows patients to walk away feeling confident that they have received the best care possible. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Tang for about 10 years now, and in that time, my vision has either stayed constant or even improved!

It was a great experience. It's always tough making a decision when choosing a new optometrist. I'm very happy with the decision I made. The entire staff was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. Previously I ordered my own frames and had the lenses filled through Costco. Let's just say that will never happen again. She pointed out that they added astigmatism on the wrong side of my eye glasses. 5 out of 5 stars. Thank you Dr. Tang. read more

Dr. Tang and her staff are amazing. After having hazy vision for over a year I finally made an appointment to see the optometrist. After going through the regular eye exams and screenings, the doctor told me my vision had dropped a bit. I was given temporary contacts until my order arrived. I was able to get an appointment quickly and everyone is super friendly. read more

My glasses broke and I needed an appt ASAP. After being on the waitlist for 24 hours, I got a call and got in the very next day! I'm so glad I decided to try this optometrist. She was kind, patient, and friendly. Her staff was also helpful and friendly, providing honest opinions regarding the glasses I tried on. (Very valuable to have an honest opinion!) Anyway I wish I had found them sooner - I'll be coming here from now on! read more

AMAZING SERVICE! I have been a client here since 1998 but I just had my annual checkup and feel compelled to share my positive experience. My eyes have been shifting a lot recently since I turned 50. One eye is far-sighted the other is short-sighted. I have astigmatism in both and my eyes are "flat" since I had lasik surgery. All of this adds up to a tricky case to solve. Dr Tang and her team have gone way beyond any reasonable person's expectations to find a prescription that works for me. They have seen me multiple times as they work to fine tune the solution. Not one single time has anyone been anything but accommodating and sympathetic. I am truly blown away by the level of care they have delivered. I have always been a happy client of Irvine Optometry but I am now a super-fan. It may now be time to get a tattoo of their logo on my arm! read more

Dr Tang was wonderful! I hadn't been to an eye doctor in years and I wanted contacts. Dr Tang was able to fit me with the perfect contacts on our first visit. She was very informative and overall just a super sweet lady. I'm glad I found a great doctor on my first go- around. read more

Update to my update. I'm very appreciative of the followup I received, and the compensation for the delayed fulfillment of my prescription. I continue to recommend Irvine Optometry to everyone in the Irvine area. Dr. Tang will take excellent care of you and your eyes. read more

This is my second year with Irvine Optometry. I'm so thankful I found this place on Yelp! Dr. Tang is the best optometrist and both her and her staff are very welcoming, friendly and professional. Their office is very clean and located in a shopping center with lots of parking. My husband started seeing her too (he had been driving to his old optometrist in LA that's he's been seeing for the past 20 years) and he really likes her as well. Dr. Tang's examination is very thorough and she makes sure I understand everything that is going on. I have a lazy eye which makes my situation tricky, but Dr. Tang had really helped me with finding an accurate prescription to help my vision. I also like that they give me all my options without being pushy. Their selection of frames is small, but good! And if you ever need help picking out frames I highly recommend Ji! He has a great sense of style for frames and helped me pick out my Thom Browne frames that I absolutely love. read more

I love Dr. Tang and her office staff. I always have a nice conversation with Dr. Tang and her exams are quick and efficient. The staff always takes me right on time and they are happy to answer any questions I have. I am picky about frames but they were very patient with me until I found just the frames I wanted. read more

I came to irvine optometry as a new patient this week. Dr. Tang is not only extremely warm and welcoming, she knows her stuff and conducts a very thorough eye exam. I purchased a years worth of contact lenses for a very affordable price and even received a rebate! The facility was very clean and definitely exceeded expectations during this time. I highly recommend Dr Tang and Irvine optometry. read more

Dr. Tang is professional, thorough, gracious and has consistently achieved better results in diagnosing my eyeglass prescriptions than any other doctor of optometry or ophthalmologist I have visited in decades. She is also just a delightful person, thoughtful, and I feel like she really cares about me as a patient. She is my optometrist for life! read more

My wife and I (both senior citizens) have been served very well by Dr, Tang and her practice. We first engaged with her about 15 years ago. From the start she and her staff have been very professional, responsive, pleasant, interested to provide needed and useful services/products, counsel, help and on. They have gone the extra mile for us and we appreciate them a great deal. In our opinion a person would be well-served by them and find their whole scheme of services hard to beat! read more

Don't go to this optometrist. They're a total ripoff if all you're looking to do is get contact lenses. I was just going to get my annual contact lens exam since you cannot buy contacts without a current prescription (which is total bs). The optometrist was very nice and the exam took quite awhile as they were very thorough. I was thinking.. all this for $20 bucks.. amazing. My vision plan with VSP offers $120 coverage for contact lenses and and exam. Well lo and behold, the contact lens exam cost $120. My vision was the same as the year before and my prescription had not changed one bit, but yet I had to pay $120 just for the exam. They told me that just a regular eye exam would have cost $20, but a contact lens exam was $120. When I saw the receipt, I laughed because they charged over $200 for the "contact lens exam". I had to pay $120 out of pocket and the insurance company paid the rest. Then on top of that, the optometrist was extremely pushy and tried to get me to buy the contact lens from them directly. I refused and asked for my prescription. I decided to order my contact lens online and have my insurance company reimburse me. The next day, I get a call from my insurance company saying I already had a claim for contact lenses. The optometrist had put in the order for contact lenses without my authorization! I suggest you save your money if you're just looking to get a routine eye exam. read more

Dr. Tang is incredible. One stop shop for all of your eye wear and exam need. Thank you again for the incredible service.

I have been a patient of Dr Tang's for maybe 20 years? She is thorough, very caring and knowledgeable. I like that she takes the time to discuss any questions or concerns I may have about my vision, and that she will also explain the results of my eye exam in detail. Thanks to her I realize how much healthy eyes are a reflection of a healthy body ! and I always look forward to picking out new eyewear, she has a great selection of frames and turnaround time & service is very efficient ! High recommended :) read more

I am so pleased to have my eye exam here. All the staff is really nice and helpful. Dr Tang gives full attention to every patient. I am totally satisfied with my visit for eye exam read more

I have had contacts for 12 years and glasses for 15 years and have had plenty of eye exams. NEVER have I been charged separately for a contact exam and glasses exam when done at the same time. Generally the contact exam is more expensive but includes an eye glass exam. My insurance covered the eye glass one ($100) and they charged $120 for the contact exam on top of that. The exam costs more the worse your eyes are - absolutely ridiculous! She also had me try Proclear contacts for astigmatism saying they were the best ones for breathability - switching from my usual Acuvue Advance. She charged $80/box of 6 one month disposables and they are the WORST contacts I've ever had (I've tried multiple types of Acuvue & Focus brand lenses with no problems). They dry out very fast and get protein deposits. To top it all off the receptionist was extremely rude and slow. Unless you want to pay twice as much as necessary for a good eye exam, do NOT go here. The only reason it's not just one star is that Dr. Tang does a good job - but still not worth the money. read more
