I had an wonderful appointment with Dr. Wang and his team at Modern Eyes. I am a photographer and my previous doctor created a custom prescription to help me work and Dr. Wang stepped in and made it his own and improved on what I had. The team was incredibly friendly and professional. My exam was extremely throughough. I have been wearing glasses since I was 10 and I'm now 50 so I have had an exam or two. This was by far one of the best. I encourage anyone looking for a new eye doctor to look no further and see Dr. Wang and the team. read more

I brought my own frames to Modern Eyes Optometry to have blue light filtering and anti-reflective lenses installed -- not because I had vision issues, but as a preventive measure to reduce eye strain from long hours at the computer. Within just a few weeks of using their lenses, I began experiencing intense migraines and constant eye fatigue -- symptoms I had never experienced before. The moment I stopped wearing the glasses, the problems vanished. When I contacted the clinic to report this, their response was dismissive: "Our lenses have no issues." Instead of showing any concern or accountability, they told me to pay for an eye exam to "check my prescription" -- which makes absolutely no sense, since these were non-prescription preventive lenses. The problem isn't my eyes. The problem is what they sold me. It's not just disappointing -- it's infuriating. They deflect blame, offer no support, and immediately try to charge more money instead of solving the issue. This isn't healthcare -- it's a sales machine hiding behind a medical license. Their priority isn't patient well-being, it's profit. They are a perfect example of what's gone wrong in today's medical field: the patient is no longer a person -- just a revenue stream. Avoid this place. Seriously. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff. Always seemed pretty busy when I was there which seemed like a good sign. They still managed to be very efficient with seeing everyone. Have not been to the eye doctor in a long time, but I was happy with the testing and check up I had done. I picked up some glasses and they were ready slightly ahead of schedule. Overall very happy with the service and will likely bring my family in to see them as well. read more

Dr. Wang is a pro. Our whole family goes to him and feel well cared for. Great office, friendly & professional staff.

The office is wonderful and friendly. I always enjoy going to my eye appointments as they treat you like family.

Best experience on all levels I could not recommend highly enough. The staff are so welcoming and professional. Wonderful selection of glasses to choose from. Most importantly, the very thorough eye exam was exceptional. My mothers eyes have many issues. Howard was incredibly sensitive to her need to feel safe and understood. He explained everything to her very carefully and helped her to make the best decisions for her prescription. read more

I wish I could give Modern Eyes even more stars!! Dr. Wang and his staff are beyond incredible! I have complications with my vision due to MS. Dr. Wang is very knowledgeable and really takes his time with my unique vision issues. April and the entire staff are knowledgeable, kind and respectful of their clients -- to me, the integrity is key. I highly recommend Modern Eyes! read more

Had my first visit today at Modern Eyes with Dr Wang and I'm so very pleased I found them. The whole staff was very friendly and accommodating from the moment I walked in. There is even a cute chalkboard at the entrance welcoming each patient for the day. The front desk staff made sure I completely understood our insurance showed me several different options. Dr Wang was very nice. He helped me find a good contact lens solution to my problem of needing distance and reading. He was very sensitive to my history or migraines as well. Overall I am very pleased and encourage anyone in the area to give Modern Eyes a try. read more

I'm really happy that I found Dr. Wang and his very friendly and professional staff. I'll be a life long customer. My appointment was at 12:00 and they got me right in. I was so happy with the whole experience that I bought two pairs of glasses. read more

love this place. April has handled my glasses and most recently made me progressives that are absolutely amazing. she and staff have tended to every detail, making sure my insurance covers my prescriptions properly. dr wang has even answered the phone when it gets busy there! they care about their patients. read more

I wish every medical service could function as efficiently as Dr. Wang's office: not overbooked, knowledgeable, and super friendly staff. Dr. Wang is clear and gives good opinions when asked. I felt my time was well spent. read more

I called before scheduling my yearly contact exam and was told my insurance covers the entire fee. I was seen on January 30th. After finishing, I was then charged a $50 "contact lenses fitting fee". I have worn contacts for 12 years and I have never been charged that at any other office in addition to my insurance covering the entire exam fee. I picked up the amount of lenses my insurance covered and was told I owed $0. I ordered glasses on 3/20/19 somewhere else and paid for my glasses. Today I called the office to get a copy of my prescription, and was told I owe them $120 for my contacts and they will not release my prescription until I pay them. Basically, they waited to submit my claim to my insurance for TWO MONTHS and then blamed it on me as if I knew I already used my benefits when I ordered glasses TWO MONTHS LATER. I assumed they did their job and charged my insurance at the time I picked up the lenses, especially since I paid out of pocket for my glasses as well. They have a nice office and friendly staff, but the pricing and billing is shady. read more

Modern Eyes Optometry - Receipt day of $50 lenses fitting fee on 1/30/19 - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Carlsbad, California

See all

Dr. Wong is excellent! I've seen several optometrist over the years and he's by far the most thorough and accurate. He's also very honest and told me that I didn't need new glasses for a minor change in my prescription! wow! He explains things well and takes time to explain things to you. I don't feel rushed or like I can't ask him another question or get clarification. His staff is nice too and not pushy sales at all! I really like that! The glasses are beautiful if you need a pair! read more

I have been going here for about three years. Everything is top notch; the doctor and the staff. They are professional, kind, helpful and willing to assist any issue that comes up. Highly recommend! read more

The optometrist is very knowledgeable and did a very good job examining my eyes. The staffs are very friendly and very professional in their approach. However, their glasses are a little pricey. But, they do have a wide selection of frames. read more

First visits for both family members were great a year ago. This year, AWFUL experience. I booked a "contact fitting" appointment for my daughter and specifically on two occasions mentioned our nanny would be bringing her. I wanted to make sure if any decision were needed, they knew she was empowered to make them or would call me if needed. During her appointment, there were questions and she said she could call, but the Dr. said he is short staff and couldn't help her get fitted anyway. Umm, why did I specifically make a contacts appointment then? When I called to address the situation, Dr. Wang apologized and wanted to make things right by offering another appointment on 6/1 at 8:30 to accommodate our schedule. It's 8:40 am and still no one here. Not acceptable as we have scheduled too that we manage. We won't be back. read more

I want to alert people to my experience at Modern Eye Optometry in Carlsbad. I was fitted for glasses and told that my insurance covered all but $321. I picked my glasses and was walking out the door whenI was asked back and told that I owed another $192 as my insurance didn't pay for certain features. If I had known from my first visit that my glasses would cost over $500 instead of the original quote of $321, I might have considered going elsewhere to get them. So be certain that the quote you get at fitting is the TOTAL that you will have to pay. read more

Husband and I both had vision exams today and had a wonderful experience. The staff was phenomenal. They were welcoming, friendly, thorough, and professional. I appreciated the constant communication through our visit about what to expect next and the details of what our insurance provided. The exam itself was excellent. Dr. Wang is personable, professional, thorough, and informative. I appreciated his attentiveness to my concerns and how well he communicated with us about what to expect/our results. Thank you! read more

I needed to get my eye exam done before the end of the year and I saw that Modern Eyes was a local option for an Optometrist that was covered under UHC Vision so I decided to give Modern Eyes a try. I absolutely loved this place, they have cute frames to choose from and the staff is amazing. It was a quick visit, under an hour, and the staff did a great job of explaining all my options and assisting me in getting the best available for what was covered by my insurance. I had a lot of issues with my insurance though (at the fault of the insurance company of course) and Natalie kept in touch with me the entire way and was wonderful! She was even able to help me get my glasses done quicker than expected. I always appreciate a place that has an amazing staff, and Modern Eyes provides just that! I will definitely be coming back here in the future and would recommend to anyone looking for an Optometrist. read more

My family sees Dr. Wang and his staff. Dr. Wang is Great, takes time to explain things well and is very kind! His staff is helpful, friendly and makes us feel comfortable when being fitted for contact lenses and glasses. read more

Our family has been seeing Dr. Wang for years but today I experienced next-level service. At some point in the late afternoon my vision became blurry and I realized I had a blown left pupil. To say I was terrified would be an understatement. Dr. Wang saw me immediately even though it was almost closing time and he had to pick up his child from school. After a thorough exam he recommended I go to the ER and he was concerned enough that he even offered to drive me HIMSELF. What health provider would do that?? I went to the ER and all is well as it turned out to be a drug interaction. But his kind and professional demeanor not to mention his exam went a long way to reassure me that nothing physically was wrong with the eye, that it was either neurological, pharmacological, or stress. Dr. Wang and his staff always go above and beyond but today, they wasted zero time getting me in and helping me feel whole again. I cannot recommend Modern Eyes Optometry enough. Top notch. read more

My initial visit to this office was great!! Staff was very professional and attentive. A year later I go to the office and it's completely different. Specifically, the optician. She was quite rude to the point of when I walked out of the office I knew I would never return. In the future I will book airfare to Northern California where my previous care has been done as they go above and beyond and always do the best for the patient. read more

Employees are very nice! Dr is knowledgeable and great in what he does. Easy to set up an appointment through their website. They contact you within a day to confirm a time that works best for you. Once you are at the practice, they welcome you and take care of you right away. I'm sure they accept a wide range of insurance policies- I've had Blue Cross and Aetna in the past, both accepted. Highly recommended for those in our community! They provide a great selection of eyeglasses for you to choose from! read more

Hands down the best Eye Doctor I've ever been to. Has beyond-modern tools, above-expert knowledge, and is a patient-first practice. Whether you are needing basic fittings or have complications (like me), I highly recommend Modern Eyes Optometry. read more

Clean modern office. Doctor Mollick was very informative and took a great deal of time with me. Staff was great. Only downside is they still impose the silly mask mandate which I don't believe serves any purpose. read more

I had broken a small piece off of my glasses. I called in to see how much they would charge to fix them. They asked me to email a picture and quickly emailed me back saying they would fix them for free. As soon as I walked in I was met with smiles and an eagerness to help. One lady took my glasses in the back while the other asked about my day. A few minutes later, they handed my glasses back as good as new. Overall... very pleasant and still know what quality customer service is about. Putting the customer first. - I'll be back! read more

Dr Wang and his staff are super knowledgeable, thorough and caring! They take their time to explain everything and just make the over all exam enjoyable. Highly recommend! read more

I really like this doctor' s personality and manner however the front office staff is unorganized. Billed me for copepays and additional costs I've never paid at other eye doctors and been in the same contacts for ten years. They billed me the day of service. I ordered contacts with my insurance allowance then went to go pick them up a month later and they told me I owed another $60. Then once the girl admitted the other front office staff member made a mistake they were still not willing to credit any amount. It's a bummer because my husband and son were going to make and appointment there and now they just lost 3 customers. For a new practice you take responsibility when a staff member makes a mistake. I paid $102 dollars for three months of contacts and the exam and then they billed my insurance over $300 and made scribbled, hand written convoluted breakdown of the invoice on a piece of paper that made no sense. I paid just to put an end to it after they said they would send it to collections if I didn't pay it. WOW. What a joke! I have Delta Dental PPO, which has always covered the majority of these costs and my plan hasn't changed. read more

Conclusion: go to Europtics in Encinitas for efficiency and no lack of communication. The very first time I had visited this optometry office I was very happy and impressed with the customer service and information that was provided. I went home that day and recommended this place to a couple of my friends and mother. Some time went by and I hadn't heard back from this place regarding the status of a product I ordered so I called. Then I called again on a separate occasion and then on my last interaction I went in and asked for a status again and was told I would get a call back on Monday. I had heard that 1-2 times before over the phone. Essentially, I think it's not right to tell the client that they will be contacted on said day, several times without actually doing it because it is misleading. It was a waste of my time. From the start I was told my glasses (just the frame to test them) would arrive in one week but it was about one month and I hadn't gotten my call back ever. I went to europtics and they even gave me the exact frame I asked for at this place PLUS with prescription in 9 days. read more

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE YOUR TIME WASTED COME HERE. My appointment was at 12:30pm I checked in at 12:15pm and the doctor didn't see me until 2:00pm! They show now respect whatsoever to my time! If you want to be ill-treated for mediocre work, then this is the place to be! read more

I love this place! Dr. Wang and April are super nice. This place is very modern and has the most up to date technology. Dr. Wang is very knowledgeable and genuine. They have the most convenient hours, including weekends and were able to get the appointment time I wanted. I'm super glad that I found this place, and it's so close to my work! read more

Dr. Wang, his wife (April) and all the staff are very kind, caring, patient, courteous, and the prices are very reasonable. Thank you so much for taking such a good care of my son's eyes. read more

When the office first opened a few years ago they were fantastic and gave excellent service. Since then more recently the front office staff does not seem to be very customer service friendly. Every time that I call they put me on hold for long periods of time and seem rather bothered that I am trying to call to schedule an appointment. Dr Wang and his wife April Have been always very friendly however they need to improve the front office staff If They want to keep customer retention . read more

Excellent experience start to finish. Very clean, very friendly staff, and excellent results. Love my new contacts and look forward to the new glasses. The optometrist was really good and took the time to explain the options for dealing with my specific situation. They also have a very nice selection of frames and lenses and helped find the best fit for style, price, insurance coverage, etc. read more

Just had a great experience with Dr Wang and staff. I'd been putting it off for quite sometime getting my eye exam but my husband went first and recommended them. Office clean, contemporary, staff welcoming, on time, Dr Wang was very informative and easy to talk to about concerns. Highly recommend! Bonus they have designer glasses:) read more

Giving 5 stars is a no brainer for Modern Eyes!! My 11 year old son was treated with patience and kindness as he went through the very thorough exam. He has had several optometrists and Dr. Wang is by far the most thorough and helpful. When my son put his new glasses on he literally gasped at how clear everything was. Dr. Wang got it right! His staff is amazing with the initial exam, appointments and insurance support. I absolutely, a thousand percent recommend Modern Eyes. read more

This is my new favorite optometrist office. Treats each patient with personal care. Listens and very helpful. Dr. Wang is a great doctor with a caring demeanor. Office staff very friendly. My husband has pre glaucoma symptoms and we trust Dr. Wang. read more

I have been wearing glasses for a long time so I've been to numerous optometry places over the years. Modern Eyes is THE best. Other places just rush you through and fit you for glasses/ contacts without taking care of your eyes. Some don't even properly fit you for glasses. Dr. Wong is fantastic- he takes time to examine your eyes and ensure that everything is operating as it should and appearing as it should (within the eye). April and the other staff members are excellent as well. They bend over backwards to help you and make sure you get the most out of your insurance coverage. They have taken excellent care of my entire family and have the cutest frames also! I don't live in No County anymore, but I happily travel up the 5 for this place. Simply put- I won't trust my eyes to anyone else. Your eyes will thank you! read more

Alhough almost all the staff are professional and friendly, the Optometrist was not up for a challenge with refitting my hard contact lenses. He seemed to be inexperienced with near-sighted/far-sighted fittings and just didnt want to complete what he had started. In addition, they take an unacceptable drawn out time to receive the lenses and any glasses that were ordered....With computer orders and clients willing to pay for over-night delivery, why do glasses and lenses take two weeks????..And then when you get a call to come in for your contact lense fitting, there are no appointments for another two weeks. Not a satisfying Optometry experience. read more
