First off, the optometrist here is fantastic! He's so knowledgeable and he takes the time to go over everything so that you stand what's going on with your eyes. I've been coming here for the last two years and he is always done a good job checking up my eyes and making sure everything is good. I've been unfortunately given bad eyesight from my mom. The office is quite small and they don't have a huge selection of glasses that fits my face well. The location of has a ton of parking, which is nice. The reason for the 4/5 stars it's because the frames that were recommended for my glasses were good for all of six months. Unfortunately, because it is made out of some kind of plastic or acrylic the arm broke off this morning. I would think that they offer some kind of one year warranty as I feel like that's pretty standard for most things, but it was made known to me that they only offer a two month warranty and that it would be out-of-pocket to buy new replacement frames. I ultimately decided not to do that and just use my other pair of glasses. I guess I'll have to wait until next year to get new frames but I might go elsewhere for a better selection. read more

Dr David is the best optometrist I've ever been to. Simply he doesn't just want your money, he instead loves to help you and takes his time explaining your conditions and options and no optometrist ever did that for me. The place is welcoming and the staff is also all super nice! read more

Look no further! This is the best optometry spot around. I LOVE Dr. David! Of the many optometrists I have seen over the last 30 years, he is my favorite. He takes the time to explain and show you with his eye posters and computer so you actually understand what's going on with your vision. He takes as much time as you need to ask questions. I learn new things every time. Please check this place out! Super reasonable prices also. read more

Dr Huang's office has relocated to the city of Orange off Lincoln and Palm right past the church in the medical plaza. The office is located on the second floor in the back of the plaza suite 206. Still the best most honest Optometrist around if you're looking for an new eye Dr! If you have an eye questions ask him and he'll answer them all. They do accept most vision insurance. Note they have updated business hours too since Dr Huang is sharing between the Orange office and another office. This location is open Tue-Thur (10am-6pm), Sat(3pm-7pm)-Sun (11am-5pm). Closed on Mon and Fri read more

So far of all of the optometrist nearby have been pretty good at getting to the right glasses and meeting my needs but the Optician here at Love is very good. Two front ladies are very helpful also. All of the staffs go out of their way to solve the problems, and their glasses are very competitively priced. The selection was limited to inexpensive Korean and Chinese frames, but overall the quality of their glasses were pretty decent. I like that the style is good at a very reasonable price. The lenses are very good and only ones that do not give me any headache. The service was very efficient and nice. I recommend the Optician highly for making very good advice for your vision needs. Good luck. The optician just moved to Orange for better rent and it was a bit of drive to the new place read more

I LOVE Love Optometry. I won't go anywhere else. Most educated amazing human beings you'll meet in the industry, I have been following them location to location. Knowledgeable, smart, kind people. You won't regret coming here. read more

I have been coming to Dr. Hwang for many years now. The office is located in the center of Yale and Trabuco Road. There is a parking lot and I have always been able to find parking. He's always honest with what he suggests and never gives me a prescription that is too strong so that my eye won't get worse. He will always give you brand options and will give you his option on what he thinks is best. They are always very friendly so give him a visit if you are looking for a new optometrist! read more

Aloha to anyone who is reading this review. I was looking for awhile a good, honest Optometrist in my area. I could not find one since there are so many. So I went to Yelp to see if it can help me find one. Well, I found Love Optometry near my home and read all the reviews on this place. Nothing but excellent reviews. So last week, I made my appointment and today was 1st my appointment. The two ladies as part of the staff were very professional and did their job very well. Dr. Hwang right from the beginning was pleasant and made me feel very comfortable. As the eye examination was going on, he also listened to my concerns. He answered all my questions and gave me a detailed explanation of what he sees and noticed in both my eyes. This is what a doctor visit should be! A caring Optometrist who answers your questions and tells you what you should do to take care of your eyes daily and long term. Before I left, I was helped by the staff to find a pair of glasses and her knowledge of lenses was on par. Even though Dr. Hwang's office is moving out of the area, I still will continue to drive to his new location for future office visits. On a scale of 1 - 10, I would give Love Optometry at 10+... read more

Love Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - Orange, California

I LOVE Love Optometry. I've been going to Dr. Huang for years now and I've always appreciated how he never tries to upsell you and really cares about his patients. His demeanor is friendly and upbeat, always positive. He is super knowledgeable about what he does. There is not a better local optometrist. His staff is outstanding as well. They're sweet, helpful, patient and just overall excellent. Always a good experience and they make sure there's space and time to dedicate to helping you. I never felt rushed to pick my glasses like I have at other places. They will answer all your questions and give you the service you deserve. They run great deals on glasses for cash patients. They had a promo for 20$ glasses when I went in. read more

Love Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - Orange, California

Let me preface this review by stating that my wife and I have been coming to love optometry, For well over six years. We never had any issues and in fact I would honestly rate them five stars with regards to their optometrist. But there rules and regulations on prescription fulfillment is ridiculous. During Covid we all know all business hours changed. It was difficult to accommodate the new hours so I was forced to go to Costco for my eye exam. The cost of the exam is exactly the same at both places, it was merely a scheduling issue. The optometrist there suggested that I switch To daily contact lenses, which I was not a big fan of, but took her word for it. Needless to say I did not like the daily version. Now this is where my one star comes into play. I did not have any contact lenses, so I thought I could go back to Love optometry and fill my prescription there. I was in desperate need of contact lenses and would've paid any price just to no longer wear my glasses and mask at the same time. I spoke to the secretary and she said that she could help. Within five minutes she called back and stated that love optometry will not accept other prescriptions. There was no negotiation, I would've paid a fee just to have the prescription filled. I realize that times are difficult, but I felt it was an incredibly disrespectful form of customer service. I have referred well over 15 friends and family members, even asking them to drive a little further because their customer service used to be phenomenal. I have asked all my friends and family members who I referred to love optometry to no longer use their services. I hope that they can see the impact that brushing off people in an emergency can have. I am incredibly disappointed because being in the customer service industry, it's the little things that count to make a business thrive. Again this is nothing against anyone individually, this is about their rules and regulations especially when someone was in need. read more

I moved to Irvine during COVID and I subsequently was procrastinating getting a new prescription. I looked at a directory that accepts VSP insurance and I picked one of the nearest ones near my new place - I'm glad I chose Love Optometry. Dr. Hwang is extremely helpful and definitely knows his stuff. He is super informative and definitely treats you like a valued customer. I've been to many optometrists who seem like they are going through the motions, but Love Optometry offers a great experience. The staff was also very friendly and made the experience convenient as possible. As long as I am in the area, I'll definitely be a long-time customer. read more

Omg staff is amazing! Doctor Huang is amazing! I cannot say enough I am a new patient and Ella gave me the time I needed the Doctor went through all the details about my eyes. These people are so nice! Place is so clean! I cannot say enough how lucky I got today!!! Thank you so much!!! read more

My daughter recommended this place to me. It isn't like her to rave about a doctor (what 20 something does that!) so I definitely wanted to see what all the fuss was about. To my surprise, she wanted to go to the eye doctor with me because she likes this doctor so much. I thought "What? The? Freak?". It wasn't long until I found out why. This doctor is so incredibly knowledgeable about everything having to do with your peepers. He even treated a sun burn on my eye that another doctor dismissed as "nothing". As he examined my eyes, he starts teaching me about optometry. It's like I got a free university lecture on the subject of eyes. I think I stayed 20 minutes after my appointment just asking him questions. I suppose his enthusiasm was contagious. His assistant is so friendly. She really added value to the already fun experience. Yes, I just used the word fun to describe going to an eye doctor. I promise I'm not crazy. It felt like I was visiting old friends. Parking is plentiful. Prices are fair. I liked the selection they carried. I highly recommend this business! read more

Called on a Saturday to see if I could get an appointment the next day and the phone call went like this: Her: Hello? Me: Hi, is this the optometrist? Or..? Her: Yes, it is Me: Oh, ok... Do you have any openings for tomorrow? Her: No, we're booked. Me: Ok, thanks, bye I guess? Her: Bye. She 1) Answered the phone saying hello, kinda unprofessional for a business. 2) Didn't ask if I was a new or existing patient 3) Didn't ask what the appt was for 4) didn't try to fit me in anywhere or accommodate me. Already a horrible start to a place I've never been to. read more

Dr is super nice and thorough! Front desk staff are very friendly as well. They are open on Saturday and Sunday, so it's a lot easier for people who have to work during the weekdays! read more

I came by Dr. Hwang's office just for my general contacts/glasses prescription and had an amazing experience. He is extremely knowledgeable and is a true academic when I asked him about the option of getting hard vs soft contacts. He took time out to scientifically explained and walked me through the pros and cons of both options, and gave me a clearer understanding of those options. I would highly recommend going to see him because the man definitely knows what he is doing and would give you his honest professional opinions based on what is best for your individual needs. I am so grateful I found this office !! He is also up to date with all the latest research. Thank you Dr.Hwang and your staff ! You guys are make me feel very welcome! PS - he did his residency at Wills Eye Hospital, ranked #1 nationally. So you know he is extremely qualify !!! read more

Worst dr and office ever! Gave me a high pressure read and then I went to go get a 2nd opinion from another dr! I will never return here. They are not kind and make you feel insecure! Never again! I am glad to have found another dr!!! read more

I had a persistent eye infection for about 2 months (holy crap... I know right? LOL) and I finally decided to do something about it after not being able to wear contacts and being stuck with my glasses for so long. My normal eye doctor is in my hometown and since i'm pretty far from there, I was yelping around in the OC for a good optometrist. Once I found Dr. Hwang, I called in and made an appointment for the next day! (Love how they're opened on saturdays and sundays!) The receptionists are super nice and helpful; the one I talked to even checked out to see if my insurance covered their services here. I came in with everything I needed (ID & insurance card) and was seen immediately by Dr. Hwang. He prescribed antibiotics for my eye infection (my previous eye doctor just told me to wait it out) and was very informative about what was going on with my eyes. He's also really funny haha. He even gave me a couple pairs of dailies because I told him I would be in Vegas the following weekend and that I wanted to wear my contacts (LOL)! Love Optometry charged me $40 which isn't too bad. I left happy and with a handful of candy lol. The next week I came in for a follow up visit and he let me know the infection still wasn't completely gone :( He ended up giving me even stronger antibiotic eye drops. The week after that I came in for another follow up and my eye infection was finally completely cleared!!!!! HURRAHHHHH!!! To anyone who has ever had an eye infection before--you know how annoying and unnecessary they are. I was so happy that it was finally gone; it's been about 2 weeks and my eyes are still good! Hopefully this won't happen to me again, but if it does.. I know i'm going to come to Dr. Hwang! Also they have a lot of frames for glasses here! read more

Wonderful experience. Dr Hwang and the whole staff were so professional and kind. Dr Hwang is smart and thorough. Definitely will be returning to his office for all eye care needs read more

The staff and the Doctor were all amazing! Nice little clean office with top notch equipment. Doctor was very thorough with the exam and I could not recommend the Love more! read more

David and his team has been taking care of my eye exams and needs for the past 5+ years, he is knowledgeable, honest and extremely generous. They've taken me in on last min notices several times and had been so informative on teaching me about my eye health beyond just ordering contacts and etc. I would recommend anyone to visit David and his team!! read more

Dr. Huang is the best eye doctor! He is conscientious and very caring. He is also very intelligent and keeps up with the latest eye medical treatments and news. I've shopped ophthalmologist and optometrists for the eye problems of my 5 kids. For example, he was able to diagnose the problem and help cure my daughter of cross-eyes that other ophthalmologists said could only be cured through eye exercises or not at all. He said for my daughter, the reason my daughter's eyes become cross-eyed or seemed like one was a lazy eye was because of the vast difference in the prescription between the two eyes causing this situation. As soon as he prescribed a new prescription to bring the two eyes closer together in disparity, my daughter's problems was fixed automatically. It's common sense things such as that. In the past, none of the optometrists or ophthalmologists I saw ever gave us ways to prevent our eyes from getting worse. In addition, Dr Huang understands the latest technology, knows how to help stop and heal your children's eyes from getting progressively worse before it happens, and full of excellent tips and advice. I always leave learning new things I can help with my children's visions. Best of all, he is very reasonably priced, accepts VSP, Medi-Cal, and other insurance. I have referred many people to him and they are all very satisfied. read more

I wish I came here sooner! Dr. David is so knowledgeable and you can tell he really cares. I was nervous about coming in as my eyes have gotten so much worse the past year, but Alice at the front desk and Dr. David were wonderful. I never thought I'd want to advocate for an optometrist so much, but they are too great not to! Definitely check them out. read more

Dr. Hwang came well recommended from my brother, so even though I live fifty miles away I thought I would make an appointment. (Seriously, I didn't know it was possible to be excited about going to the optometrist....but my brother was mysteriously enthusiastic about this guy, so I thought eh why not.) The first time I tried to make my appointment, my car was broken into and I totally missed my appointment. Dr. Hwang was very understanding and flexible about rescheduling (he is open on weekends, too.) I ended up as the last patient of the day on a Sunday. While I was there, I saw Dr. Hwang stay late to wait for a family that was running late for their appointment to pick up their glasses. It is a young practice. Dr. Hwang is only a few years out of optometry school. (Bonus points for being fluent in both English and Mandarin.) It is clear he loves his profession and sharing what he has learned with his patients. Unlike other optometrists who use optometric techs, Dr. Hwang performed every stage of my eye exam. He ran the machine that shows you the little image of the hot air balloon, and he also managed to blow the burst of air into both of my eyeballs in only one try (over the years, other techs and optometrists have had to do multiple tries on that machine for me since I blink a lot.) Dr. Hwang was able to clearly explain every step of the examination to me (why he was flipping lenses and asking me to pick which was better, One or Two) and more importantly, the rationale behind why he was modifying my prescription. He even took the time to explain to me what I might be able to expect in the long term (what my vision might be like a decade or two from now, the size of my optic nerve and how high my risk was for glaucoma, how developing diabetes would affect my vision health, etc.) He was able to explain in layperson terms why I was experiencing eye strain and how the new prescription would correct it. I was surprised to learn that all of the frames in his office were under $200. I was expecting much more expensive frames and thinking I would have to end up ordering online or something. Even though it was near the end of the day, Dr. Hwang went over with me to the glasses case and recommended glasses (taking the time to explain the pros and cons between different types of frames...I learned that plastic frames have wider lenses that will help with my field of vision and that they put less pressure on my nose, etc.) In the past when I've gone to an optometrist, I've asked for a few extra prescriptions in case I want to buy an emergency or back up pair of glasses (or sunglasses or swim goggles) somewhere cheaper like from an online website or Costco. I'm always nervous about asking for the prescription from the eye doctor because I've had optometrists be guarded about giving me prescriptions before. I even had one optometrist leave info off my prescription so I couldn't use it to order glasses online. Surprisingly, when I started to hem and haw about asking for a prescription, Dr. Hwang was super open about it and told me he would be happy to give me as many copies as I wanted of my prescription to buy extra glasses. He also noted I might not want to go wild on spare glasses because he was hoping to eliminate my astigmatism so by next year's exam I'd have a better prescription. (A forthright optometrist telling me not to go wild on glasses shopping? 0_0) Ultimately, it was more affordable with insurance to get glasses from his office. But it was really refreshing to meet an optometrist who was very open to giving me copies of my prescription. read more

It's so hard to finally found a Optometry not just try to get you in and out quickly, or try to sell some frames for $400. It was fairly easy to get a appointment even for Saturday. The office is clean and well organized. The staff there is very friendly, she even entertained my one year old daughter when we were with the doctor. Dr. David Hwang is very knowledgeable! He spent a lot of time to explain about the detail conditions of my eyes. He suggested some contract lenses and glasses that would meet my needs at a very reasonable price. Less than a week later, we received a call for pick up. When we were there to pick up the glasses, he even adjusted the glasses for us to make sure it fits correctly! We'll go back to him for future needs! read more

I accidentally flushed my last pair of contact lenses in the sink. I found the only optometrist that is open on Sunday hoping to pick up a pair of contacts. They actually just have me couple of sample pairs for free. Talk about great service and care without asking for anything in return. Thank you Love Optometry! read more

Dr. Huang and his staff are among the most accommodating healthcare professionals I've ever worked with. He is patient. He is knowledgeable. He doesn't try to up-sell. He tries his best to meet your special needs. Highly recommend. After they relocate, it is a bit out of reach for us. But we still think the drive is worth it. read more

First time customer here for eye examination. Price is great for getting an eye exam in this area. Doctor Huang is hilarious yet professional which made the examination experience pretty fun! I would revisit for next examination. read more

We have been going here for a few years now, recommended by my dad. Love them! They are great and explain everything. I just wish they had a bigger selection of glasses. But other than that, they are amazing!!! read more

David is just the best! The nicest and most patient optometrist I've seen. He is also very knowledgeable! I have severe glaucoma. Yet he makes sure I am not worried about my condition. I am so glad I found him. I would stick with him for as long as I can. read more

Fastest eye appointment I have ever been to. It only took 30 minutes and Dr. Hwang does the whole thing. I have found my optometrist in Orange County for sure. Needed to get new contacts because my prescription was running out. He does a great job of explaining why he chose the prescription that I got. The ladies at the front desk were also very helpful and so kind and informative. There was no pressure to buy, which is awesome and I absolutely appreciate it. I work close by so I was able to go during work and it only took me one hour round trip, didn't have to cut into any of my work hours. read more

Dr. Hwang is the man. Funny and easy going but most importantly loves what he does and is good at it! Nothing I can appreciate more than someone being as dedicated as he is! Hadn't been to an eye doctor in a while so I decided to wander in as they were closing up. He was happy to take a look at my eyes for me. I was having difficulty seeing street signs etc. and he was able to patch me up. I can now comfortably see my surroundings without getting headaches and eye strain. He is very personable and was happy to educate me on just about everything eye related. I left knowing so much which makes me feel a lot more comfortable with what he is doing for me. Not something I got from my other eye doctor... I will be coming back regularly!! read more

My fellow Yelpers did not let me down!! :D I highly recommend Dr. Hwang as your next optometrist. Dr. Hwang and his staff were very helpful, friendly, and skilled. I found my experience to be very professional, honest and caring. In the past, I shadowed nine optometrists (to get a better idea of the field as a potential profession), but none of them were as informative and passionate as Dr. Hwang. I came in for a routine eye check up for contact prescriptions and I left with it and a ton of knowledge. He educated me of the conditions of my eyes (in detail), the options I have, and the pros and cons to each of them. It was the first time I did not feel rushed and was comfortable asking as many questions as I had about my vision and options for vision correction (ie. Lasik, Ortho-K). This might be weird to say, but I left feeling like I was a part of the family. read more

This place is small & b/c it's so small, the place doesn't look the best but it's not all about aesthetics. You come in & wait to be seen. While you wait, there's a bowl of candy on the table. Your 7 yr old eats a handful of candy while you do paperwork bc it's your 1st visit & you didn't notice how quickly she ate thru the bowl of candy. Your 7 yr old is now bouncing off the walls from her sugar high. Thank God for a very patient doctor. He was wise enough to not lose it in front of his patients mom & let me handle the "firm" tone towards my daughter. He was thorough & gave me more info than any other optometrist has ever given me with my daughters previous appts. I'll definitely continue to see him for future visits with my family members. read more

I highly recommend Dr. David, very knowledgeable and professional!! Great customer experience overall!!!!!! read more

Dr. Hwang did optometry and ophthalmology tests for my family: refraction, glaucoma, field of vision, and cataract check. He dilated and inspected each eye. He was enthusiastic, efficient, and explained test results well. He stressed the importance of good vision to retain a driving license. He determined field of vision by holding up fingers in front of the patient, rather than using a machine. My wife's glasses pinched her nose at first, but he fixed them. read more

Dr Hwang was awesome. Very helpful and informative. Thank goodness for Yelp and the convenient location. Very pleased with my visit today! read more

Visited this place twice. One was 2 years ago. The other one was weeks ago. I had my regular eye glasses from them two years ago and now I am still wearing it daily. Pros: Very friendly receptionist Very nice doctor Good service Good price Cons: The frame selection was not much. read more

What a day? Woke up with all these plans, but I lost my contact lenses. Talk about a bummer. Couldn't see. Started calling around to different offices to see if anyone could help me in my emergency. To my dismay all the reponses were, "let us call you back." or "Can you come in next week?". No way I wanted to see sooner than that. After continuing my search I finally came across Dr. Hwang and Love Optometry. Man, was I lucky, he said he could see me same day. So I didn't hesitate, ran over for my appointment, funny enough I pass his office everyday, its quietly located off Yale and Trabuco. He was so informative, sat with me and explained my condition and the entire process he will undertake. Throughout my entire visit he reassured me that everything would get resolved, provided me with temporary lenses until my prescription comes in a few days. Don't wait this guy is AWESOME!!! You will leave feeling comfortable and educated about what ever you are experiencing. read more
