I can't overstate how awesome it is to have an eye exam that is separate to the sales process for lenses and glasses. It was such a breath of fresh air to get good advice from someone who is paid the same whether I just get the eye exam or decide to go on and buy lots of products - elsewhere. Most optometrists tell you that you need lenses, a pair of glasses for day use, one for driving, another for night use, and have you considered these expensive add ons, that we'll pitch as essential to you but they really make no difference except to our bottom line. Instead, I got to trust that his recommendations were purely for my eyes and any purchases I did or didn't make, elsewhere, didn't affect him or his advice in any way. read more

Great place to get your prescription! Dr. Khoa Truong definitely knows what he's doing (and he gets you in and out and you don't waste a bunch of time). His prices are very reasonable as well. I highly recommend! read more

I've been a patient since 2011 and have been actively getting my routine eye exam here. I highly recommend this place since Dr. Khoa Truong is one of the best optometrist in the San Diego area. I had lasik surgery and come here every year to check my eyes. Dr. Truong has the latest technology where I get my eyes scanned to make sure I don't have any eye diseases WITHOUT eye dilation. I've always hate eye dilation because of the photosensitivity. His office is right inside sams club and you don't need a membership to go in to see him. Just tell the store associate you're getting your eye exam. read more

KDT Optometry - No more eye dilation - Optometrists Near Me - San Diego, California

Super efficient and friendly! Loved coming here for a check up. I was able to get my prescription and go somewhere else for my glasses.

Dr Truong is awesome! Easy to get an appointment. He's been taking care of my eyes for almost a decade. Thanks!

Dr Truong was great. He saw me at late notice, the exam was quick, and he was very courteous and clear in explaining the change in my prescription. Highly recommend. read more

Overall, great experience! It has been difficult for me to find an optometrist. Most places sell me what they want and get irritated because I take longer than usual for the exams. Dr. Khoa took his time and was very thorough with the exam. He answered all my questions and listen to my concerns and complaint about certain contact brands that I had problems with. He explained the pros and cons so I could make an informed decision. Appointments are easy to book. Sam's club membership is not needed. read more

Excellent customer service.I have been coming here for years for my eye exams. Dr. Truong, is very knowledgeable and always provides great service. My eyes have been bothering me for weeks since my job is to be on the computer screen for 8 or more hours a day. Dr. Truong was able to get me in last minute. Thank you . I definitely recommend this optometry. I will continue to return for my eye exams. read more

I've been to KDT optometry for the past few years now. I think Dr.Truong is great! You don't need a sams club card to see Dr.Truong. I made an appointment for myself and there was little wait time. It is a tiny office with one examination room. It's clean and well kept. The entire appointment took like 15-20mins. I got glasses and contacts and my interaction with Dr. Truong was great! You can also go outside to Sams optical to get glasses or contacts as well. You don't have to be a member either which is nice! I usually get my contacts there and order glasses elsewhere. Also, if you forget your prescription or lost it. You can call up Dr. Truong office and they can provide you with that information! I misplace my prescription paper before and I wanted to buy another pair of glasses online. I was able to call and got my prescription right away! I highly recommend Dr. Truong. He is professional and truly cares for his patients. Plus, the wait isn't long. That's always nice too. read more

I had a great experience here. Dr. Truong was very helpful and knowledgeable. He made me feel comfortable throughout the eye exam. I'd definitely come back for my annual eye check up read more

Dr. Khoa Truong is pretty awesome! He is very professional and personable at the same time. He's so down to earth like a friend/homie that you've known for ages. I've been coming here for a couple of years now & my hubby now does too. His office is located inside Sams Club & you don't need a membership card to see him. I would most definitely recommend him to everyone. read more

How to describe an excellent experience?! It is so har to put into words quality measurements. Customer service was magnificent, everyone smiles at you since you open the door, no waiting time (literally 5 minutes), he is an open book with all the wuestions you can have. read more

Dr. Truong, a very knowledgeable optometrist. Friendly and accommodating. He's thorough and provides the most highest care for your eyes. I was truly amazed how quickly he got me in for an appointment when my other eye Doctor was booked for months ahead. Dr. Truong suggested many types of contacts lens that fits for my eye care. Well definitely come back to Dr. Truong moving forward for my eye care. Location is in the Sam's Club and no membership required. I highly recommend. read more

Dr. Truong is super friendly and knowledgeable. His exam is very efficient and he takes his time to answer all of your questions. My eyes were getting very dry with the current contact lenses. Dr. Truong suggested a new brand and they were much better. I'll definitely come back next year. read more

Mr. Magoo doesn't have shit on me! Without contacts I'm about as useless as a no legged man in an ass kicking contest, so when I was down to my last pair of lenses an eye exam was needed stat. Dr. Truong was just the man to come to my rescue. Same day service I was able to get in 2 hours after I initially called, and an hour after that I had a fresh prescription that was a better fit than what I came in with. Sure it was in a Sam's Club and a little off the beaten path for me, but totally worth it in terms of price, quickness, and accessibility. Doc Truong pays it forward to his customers being able to charge less due to the fact that he leases a small office out of the warehouse. That paired with the fact that lenses are wholesale, and it was a much cheaper outing than any I've ever experienced. My vision insurance is not the greatest and it pisses me off to pay a lot out of pocket just to be able to see. If you feel my pain go to Dr. Truong and it will ease the blow a little bit. read more

Dr. Truong is AAAAAMAZING (singing praise here)! For starters I have to tell you that the eye exam is the one exam I used to skip, NEVER again! I was a little hesitant on going since I was lectured by my last eye doctor. I almost felt like a child being scolded by my parents. Yes, I totally neglected my eyes (lesson learned) but seriously lecturing/ scolding a patient isn't going to get them back to the office any sooner! Dr. Truong on the other hand is friendly, personable, thorough and really knows his stuff. KDT Optometry is by far the best and it helps that Dr. Truong is so happy, kind, genuine and not drab. KDT Optometry is located inside Sam's Club (no club membership required). Lower prices on contacts and glasses than *Costco* - SOLD! If you need someone to take a look at your peepers and want to be treated with respect (as you should) and to help you keep your eyes healthy then KDT Optometry is the place to go! You won't be sorry. read more

KDT is the place to go for your optometry needs. Dr. Truong, or Khoa as I like to call him, is personable and enthusiastic. His friendly approach and genuine care of my visit made me comfortable instantly. My exam took less an hour to complete and I was left satisfied. KDT offers speedy service, knowledgeable Dr. and excellent pricing. If you need an eye examination, then Dr.Truong is your connection. I would rate it a 4.5 star if I could. Reason beinging, KTD is located 20 miles away from Mira Mesa. read more

Wow, what a GREAT guy! I just met Khoa through a mutual friend and although I haven't been to his practice yet, will definitely schedule to go and tell everyone about him. I CAN give a testimonial on his character though and he's an extremely nice guy with a ton of integrity and desire to help others in every area so I can't even imagine how amazing he is with his patients! He really seems to care about creating longevity with his clients and providing not only excellent care and customer service but the best pricing around. Definitely keep him on your radar for your eyecare needs and feel comfortable referring business to him because your family and friends will be in very good hands here. read more

I've been wearing glasses since the second grade when, upon being transferred to a new classroom, my teacher asked me if I could see the board. She consequently asked me that question and moved my seat up a row until, seated in the first row, I squinted and said I could make do. I went home with a note around my neck that day, alerting my Mum to the fact that I needed an eye exam, pronto. In the summer after sixth grade, my parents agreed to let me get contact lenses and I was liberated from the ginormous, round, plastic frames that made me look like a fugly Chicken Little throughout elementary school. Since then I don't think I've ever visited the same eye doctor twice. I have been completely apathetic about offices, my only consideration being cost. Previous optometrists comprise a sea of faceless folks in white lab coats who ask me, "Is 1 better? Or 2? 1? Or 2? The same?" End of story. Fast forward to the present. I'm a member of Sam's Club. I had been suffering more frequent headaches and knew that an eye exam was in order. I browsed the frames selection at a time when the optometry office and adjacent shop were closed. I was happily surprised by the perfect pair of red, Elizabeth Arden frames that I zeroed in on right away. (We've come a long way from 1984's tortoiseshell disaster.) I returned on a day when the doctor was in as a walk-in. The office's very sweet receptionist helped me to wheel my huge Sam's Club cart into the waiting area and assured me that it was okay. I waited very briefly and then - I encountered the optometry wonder that is Dr. Truong. As Sarah V. so rightly advised, he is FABULOUS. He was incredibly charming and friendly during my exam, playing very good music on his laptop - which led to our discovering a shared appreciation of The Cocteau Twins. When my insurance proved fussy, Dr. Truong personally checked several possibilities on the computer and via telephone before we concluded that there was a hang up on my insurer's end. I can't convey just how sweet, efficient and likable Dr. Truong is. Two weeks later, I had to visit an urgent care with a scratch on my eye (unrelated to my visit!!!). Following urgent care, I popped into KDT a few days later because I wanted his opinion re my eye. Dr. Truong took a quick look as a courtesy. He was once again so kind. Then one of my doxies struck like the small, short legged catastrophe she can sometimes be. She ate my dropper bottle of medication and the urgent care would not refill my prescription. They were really bad news and were advising that the doctor was not in but that regardless, I would have to visit them again and pay another co-pay before the doctor would re-issue my eye drop RX. I called Dr. Truong for help and because he had seen me post-urgent care, was willing to call a new RX into Rite Aid. Just like the Superman of Optometry, he saved the day. He's wonderful. If you are wondering about KDT or are interested in finding an eye doctor with whom you can begin a health partnership, do yourself a very big favor and make an appointment to see Dr. Truong. He is the BEST! read more

I was able to get an appointment the same day. My contact lens exam (which included an eyeglass exam) lasted no more than 10 minutes. Dr. Truong was professional, enthusiastic, thorough, and provided stress-free examination. I received my initial contact lenses, 2 weeks worth of contact solution, and my contact and glass prescription. Received zero pressure to purchase contacts or glasses from the optical chain next door. read more

Grade: A+ Dr. Truong is an awesome optometrist! He is professional, thorough and cares immensely about his patients. He is very easy to talk to and explains everything in an understandable way. Dr. Truong is very knowledgable about contact lenses and the latest news in the optometry world. As part of Sam's Club (though membership isn't required), prices for exams, products and other services are super competitive. But the quality of everything is not compromised whatsoever. Dr. Truong and his staff provide great patient care and customer service! The location is so convenient as well, since you can get an exam right after you shop or you can drop off your family members here while you get what you need. You're in good hands here, and I highly recommend KDT Optometry! Dr. Truong makes the entire experience pleasant and fun! read more

NO appointment or membership required!!! I'm the person who sleeps in my contacts for months at a time, and knew I was due to spend some time in glasses. Dr. Truong was able to see me the minute I walked in, and didn't lecture me about my poor contact conduct even though we BOTH KNEW what I'd been doing. I feel like I was in and out of there in less than an hour, and we were able to do all those handy little tests that measure eye pressue, peripheral, etc. He also gave me contact and glasses prescriptions, and kindly suggested I take a look at some glasses. I look forward to my next visit! read more

I gave KDT Optomentry & Dr. Khoa a 5 star rating. It is rare when you find a business that offers amazing customer service AND affordable prices. I would definitely recommend my friends and family to KDT Optometry! Eric Elegado Real Estate Specialist 29+ years read more

Dr. Truong is great! He made my transition between glasses to contacts very easy. He's very understanding with the millions of questions I had and even took the time to email with me regarding concerns I had. Highly recommend him to anyone I know now. thanks Dr. Truong! read more

This was my first eye doctor in San Diego. I was recommended through the San Diego Reader because they had a special for an eye exam and my company didn't offer vision insurance. It was really worth the drive to Lemon Grove because of the deal I was getting on the exam. Dr. Truong's office is inside the Sam's Club, but it's clean and equipped and he has everything a commercialized optometrist has. I live in PB and still drove out there because it was only $89 initially. They also use 1800 contacts so I just kept ordering my lenses online as needed. The second time I went I still didn't have insurance, but my appointment was only $114 and I always leave with samples. I would recommend visiting Dr. Truong. He's nice and honest. read more

Can't say enough good things about Dr. Truong. If you want to go to a doctor who treats you like a person, not a patient, he's who you've got to see. Not to mention how awesome it is that you can take advantage of the incredibly LOW prices for contacts through sam's club without having to pay all that money for a membership! The manager of the optometry department and the other workers there, who set you up with your contacts and glasses are also really pleasant people. And most importantly, the prescription from Dr. Truong was hands down the most accurate prescription I have ever gotten. It's like a whole new beautiful world out there thanks to KDT! read more

Simply amazing. Dr. Truong was great and very helpful with my first experience of getting contacts. He was very detailed and explained the ins and outs of contacts. For example, did you know some people have different powers for their glasses and contacts? It's because of the vertex distance. I never knew that, and I appreciate Dr. Truong for explaining it to me. Because Dr. Truong is located in Sam's Club, he is able to get his customer's great prices and deals on contact lenses. So if you are a student, definitely check him out. Also, if you are worried about whether or not your insurance is covered, give him a call! I wasn't too sure, but after calling Dr. Truong, he listed the information I'd need to provide him in order for him to check whether or not my insurance would cover the tests. Luckily, it turned out I was! Overall, my experience with KDT Optometry is a great one, and I definitely hope all you to-be contact wearers check him out and give him a call! 5 stars for sure. read more

Dr. Truong is a great optometrist. I have been with him for several years since when he first started practicing at Lenscrafters. He is very knowledgeable and talkative and its a nice change from the boring random optometrists I would use in the past. It's nice to have a doctor who treats you like a friend and not "just another patient." On my first visit, he suggested many different contact lens options and told me a little bit about each of them. I ended up choosing Pro Clears. Theyre awesome. They never get dry! (Well, for me anyway) Been using them for over 4-5 years. I'd definitely recommend KDT Optometry to anyone who needs an optometrist. Dr. Truong is a stand up guy. read more

I'm not sure what more I can say that hasn't already been covered in the previous five-star reviews. Dr. Truong is very kind, professional, and knowledgable. He always makes an extra effort to ensure every patient gets the services they want at the lowest price possible, through their insurance or otherwise. Although the office has never been crowded (typically just one or two other patients), I have seen him connect with every person who comes in, whether they are a parent, child, senior citizen, college student, etc. I appreciate that he is always up-to-date on new developments in the field of optometry, which really shows his passion for the profession and care for his patients' health. Lastly, scheduling is always easy because he welcomes walk-ins and same-day appointments, and is open altered hours from typical medical offices. Dr. Truong is the first and only optometrist I have visited since moving to San Diego, and I plan to bring my entire family to him in the future. read more

Still the best optometrist I have been to in San Diego. Dr. Khoa is the best!!! He has the latest technology while still making you feel like you and your eyes are important to him. Thanks Dr. Khoa! read more

I think that Dr. Truong is an excellent optometrist. Which he spoils by taking up time doing things like: showing Vietnamese programs on is iPad in which he stars; trying to sell various products; giving unwanted lectures on what to eat, think and do. A fifteen minute appointment turns into twenty five. read more

I came into this office letting Dr.Khoa know my major concerns about a possible change in my prescription for my eyesight and scarring in my eyes. My sight believe it or not has not changed and the scars in my eyes are pretty bad but as long as I wear sunglasses when I go outside or drive it should be fine. I am very satisfied with my doctors visit today and would recommend this location to everyone. He is very affordable and informative! Good to know there are people out there who love their jobs and don't charge an arm and a leg for amazing service! My friends are always complimenting my cool colored contacts and I always recommend them to go to Dr.Khoa! read more

I had my first eye doctor appt in many moons last week with Dr. T who is located right there in Sam's Club, and when I was done he walked me over to the optometry dept right next door. Since I didn't want to go the lame eye doctor that my husband was stuck doing business with, I naturally yelped and found the wonderful Dr. Troung. He is a young, cool dude with a friendly, customer service oriented attitude and he is def a one many show, so come with a bit of time to spare. The first time I came in, I wasn't able to see him because of a snafu with my insurance but he kindly told me to please come back once I had everything straightened out. A few days after the first visit, I called, got another appt that week and in I went. He is thorough, professional and just generally a nice guy who happens to be super educated (UC Berkley.) I posted my experience on facebook and I hope my SD friends and family will take advantage of the good doctor and his awesome prices. After my eye exam was done he walked me over to the eyeglass dept next door and left me in the very capable hands of Miss Josie. Miss Josie has very obviously been trained in customer service. She was beyond friendly and helpful and this will be the ONLY place I ever go to get my glasses. Btw, the prices are beyond crazy good and the selection is more than adequate. Thanks again my fellow yelpers, you guys nailed it! read more

Dr. Khoa. Was awesome. Ive been looking for a nice, reliable plus affordable optometrist. Thanks to him. I can see better now lol..he took care of me and went the extra mile. Gave me a pair of contacts and explained a lot of my questions. Really knowledgeable and great positive attitude. One of the best customer service Ive ever gotten from a Dr. Im coming back for sure. Thanks Dr. Throng read more

I have been seeing Dr. Khoa for years now, and he is without question the most exceptional optician I have ever worked with. Kind, professional and always takes wonderful care of my husband and I. read more

Doctor Truong and I got together during a Community event no more than two months ago. Ever since that first encounter our personal and working relationships have progressed beyond my imagination. Before giving a rating on his business I want you guys to know what a good man we have here. In a stretch of two months Khoa and I put together two huge events for the community, a Blood Drive in Fashion Valley, and a Vision Care event at Bayside Community Center. So many people came out to both events. We met and worked with some cool, well-connected people, too. Follow us on Facebook and you will see our community activities. Now getting to the business part and just so you know, I have introduced a number of my close friends to him for vision services. The replies have been nothing but wonderful. His price is cheap and you don't need anything to see him. Just walk in and you will be taken care of. Now I ask you, if in such a short time I can develop this kind of personal and working realtionship with him, what can you achieve as his client? This guy is all about the community! Go see the man. read more

Is it weird that I look forward to seeing my optometrist? I guess not if you have Dr. Truong. I got Lasik from an Opthamologist Dr. Troung recommended to me, and the procedure and experience was great - most pleasant surgery experience ever! I now do my follow up appointments with Dr. Truong and he is great at managing my expectations and easy to coordinate with as he has great hours to make it convenient for me to see him. read more

First Yelp review. First time seeing an optometrist. He was friendly and high energy yes. However, I felt the whole procedure was very rushed. He was actually TELLING me which lens should look better as he quickly flipped through different ones on the machine. I had to ask him to slow down so i could try to focus on them and tell him if it was really more clearer than the last lens or not. He was also pretty quick to cut off my questions and move on to the next thing, not a very good listener, but ok, there were a few people in the office waiting and he was trying to get to everybody quickly, still... these are my eyes we're talking about and i'd like to make sure we're doing it right, ok? And yes, i can confirm with the previous poster Ka S. that he does indeed promote this Protandim drug. Had a video on his laptop we all had to watch in the waiting room. An obvious up-sell side business, but i agree with Ka, that was not what we were here for. I heard him spend more time with the patient before me on that drug than he did with my eyes.. NOT cool. Not a bad guy, not exactly "sleazy" as Ka put it, but i don't even know what the hell my vision is? He never told me or wrote it down, or told me if one eye is worse than the other... am i 20/40? 20/60? 20/80? 40/40? I mean, i went to an eye doctor to get a prescription for glasses cuz i know my vision is blurry, yet i left not knowing how blurry, but i know about his miracle drug.... again, not cool. He's a nice guy, but i won't be going back. read more

I have been visiting optometrists for over 15 years and I have never had such a great experience. Dr. Truong is young, passionate, professional and full of energy. The moment I walked into his office I felt welcomed and privileged to be there. I could tell Dr. Truong truly cared not only about my eyes, but my entire experience. To top it off, the prices are unbeatable. This office is located inside of a Sam's Club, but you are NOT required to have a Sam's Club membership. Eye exams are literally half the price you will pay at other offices, and so are the contacts and glasses. As far as I'm concerned, there are no alternatives. Keep it up Dr. Truong! read more

DR.Khoa D. Truong is one of the best optometrist I've ever known. he is really good in what he does. really friendly and nice and he has the best prices in contact lenses in his office. read more
