My parents were long time patients of Dr Gilberts and I became a patient here just before he retired. Both parents have since had cataract surgery and don't frequent as often as I do since my eyesight has started to deteriorate with age. I typically see Dr Lui when I go and I really appreciate that he never rushes, is receptive to answering all my questions and has a very pleasant demeanor. I've seen the staff deal with difficult patients and situations and they're always kind and courteous. I've been to the big box optometrists and retail shops and I've always felt like a number. I'm told frames look good on me when they clearly don't and the whole experience is driven by the sale not the service. I suppose that's okay to some but if you're like me and looking for a neighborhood eye doctor where you feel like a valued customer - look no further, you've found it. read more

Had a great visit. They worked with me to find a creative solution to my unique circumstances in ordering lenses. I'm a happy new customer.

My daughter, new to Irvine, and covered by an insurance they take , woke up with eye pain and blurry vision. There are 3 drs on staff and they turned her away. come tomorrow !! They showed no compassion for someone that has vision problems. I would not recommend them or anyone else that can't really care for people read more

Excellent care! Friendly staff. Doctor is amazing! I just transferred from my longtime Optometrist in Oceanside. Very satisfied read more

I came in to get an eye exam from Dr Lui after not having to wear glasses for the past 6yrs or so. My last prescription glasses were only for night driving but I stopped wearing them because they were causing me dizzines when not wearing them. Recently I've noticed that my vision is slightly blurred when reading fine print on my monitors so I decided to get another exam. Dr Lui and his staff were very accommodating. I schedule my appnt about 3 weeks in advance and was able to get a Saturday appnt. I did not have to wait after filling out my new patient paperwork. Dr Lui was patient and addressed questions I had as well as testing beyond the normal eye exam when I brought up certain concerns. Best of all, Dr Lui was honest and told me I did not need glasses as my vision seemed fair enough so he did not try to upsell me. I did however decide to get a pair of glasses since I wanted a pair to wear at work while I work on the computers. Dr Lui did explain this would help reflect monitor blue lights and reduce strain from over-using my eyes. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Lui is the superman of all optometrists. He'll leave you feeling like Clark Kent with super sharp vision! How you may ask? Dr. Lui employs extreme patience when he performs the eye exam. He will take the proper time to make sure the prescription he writes is with pinpoint accuracy, because after all, clear vision is what we all strive for. I've gone to many optometrists in the past and I've always thought the quick shuffle through the exam, a quick in and out of the office was of benefit to me, to save me time and hassle, however, after going through Dr. Lui's practice I've come to learn and appreciate the talent and skill that is required when analyzing for an accurate prescription. Also, it turns out, the quick shuffle at my last optometrist actually left me with an improper prescription, detrimental if you have a high astigmatism, which is what I have. Definitely a practice in a league of its own, with a super friendly staff--which you can only find at a local mom and pop shop. Check them out today. Thank you Dr. Lui and team for all that you do. read more

I just got my annual eye check up from Dr. Lui, and he is awesome. He's very friendly and patient. The check up is routine. I am at the age where I hear of all of my family's eye problems, so he was able to run extra tests for me to ease my mind. Optometry Corner has up to date technology. Dr. Lui is very knowledgeable and took time to review my test results with me. Optometry Corner offered a great selection of glasses and were marked at reason prices. I also spotted a nice yelp check in deal. I like that I did not feel rushed when I was browsing. The front desk staff were nice and helpful, especially when I called to make my first appointment. read more

This is an overdue review for Dr. Lui and his overall awesome team! Dr. Lui is very caring, professional and patient. I appreciated how he cared to explain and answer my numerous questions. His staff is also very pleasant to work with, even giving me great recommendations for the glasses. I always refer my friends and family his way. I hope businesses like his thrive at all times! read more

I am so glad I brought my kids to Dr. Hawkin Lui. My daughter has struggled with dry/pink eye, eczema, and dry mouth for years. We really thought it was allergies for many years. All of the doctors (dermatologist, allergist, pediatrican,ophthalmologist) kept prescribing my 8 year old steroid cream, eye drops, and allergy medication to help but it never got better. They kept writing us a script and would send us off with no solution. Dr. Hawkin suggested that I get blood work done with our pediatrican to address if she might have an auto immune disorder, which makes complete sense. He is extremely knowledgable, attentive, and really cares about his patients. Really grateful that he brought this to our attention and felt leaving his clinic with some direction on what we need to do for our baby girl. We highly recommend this clinic! read more

So impressed... I recently switched insurances so i thought I'd give OPtometry Corner a chance! I am incredibly happy that i did! Everyone at the front desk is so sweet and helpful! The whole process from check in to sitting with the dr to ordering contacts was seamless! Also, Dr Lui is super nice, knowledgable, and thorough! I love that he listens to your concerns and doesn't try to upsell you on random products!!! Can't wait for my checkup next year! Thanks :) read more

20/20 = 100% That's what you get here and more. Honestly, the best eye care I have experienced. Dr. Hawkin Lui really cares about you, your vision, and your eyes. Highly recommended to go here for your routine eye care. read more

Optometry Corner - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Irvine, California

See all

Last year I decided to switch optometrists and go to Optometry Corner due to my old office having long wait times. The appointment was easy to make over the phone and I didn't have to wait long to be seen. Dr. Lui was very friendly and informative during the eye exam. I feel like my prescription is much better now and the location is convenient too. Highly recommend Optometry Corner! read more

I am a long time client of the prior practice and today was seen by Dr. Lui for the first time. I had something in my eye that was bothering me. He quickly diagnosed the problem and removed the offending eyelash that was growing inside my lid. Dr. Lui is very personable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend his services. The support staff is also great! read more

The optometrist have my daughter a wrong prescription. I ended up getting a pair of glasses with wrong prescription. The staff never apologized and said the prescription can change Hrs or days. They denied the responsibility or acknowledge the wrong eye examination. It is ridiculous! They won't replace the lenses. read more

There is a new team of Dr's and staff. Dr.Guilbert is only at the Riverside office. Service is still excellent and the examination equipment is State-of-the-Art . Staff is very young but courteous and competent. I have been a client for 35 years so have seen lots of changes. I still feel well taken care of. read more

Charged me $244.0 for an exam. Did not even give me a detailed receipt about how much they billed my insurance. Didn't even give me any contacts, glasses, nothing! Had 5+ employees just sitting there in the front on their phones. I have Aetna EyeMed insurance. Ridiculous! Beware. read more

Dr. Lui and his team are the best! Going to a doctor visit is stressful these days but not with Dr. Lui. He is calm and pleasant, and he explains everything so well. The office is clean, and they have implemented all COVID precautions. His staff members are friendly, helpful and thorough. They're great with feedback when picking new frames too! I would highly recommend Optometry Corner to anyone. read more

We stopped by today to get contact lenses for my daughter. Very professional and courteous service throughout, from exam to fitting and training. Highly recommend. Two thumbs up! read more

Went here for my first appointment a while back. Very professional, welcoming, and supportive optometrist and team!

What an amazing group of kind people! I just finished my first exam with Dr. Hawkin and it went really well! I haven't had an eye exam in two years and he was very professional, friendly, and easy to talk to about my prescription. He explained my prescription and how it differs between contacts and glasses which was something I didn't know before. I'm glad I chose to come to Optometry Center and I look forward to coming back for my next visit! read more

What a wonderful overall experience, from the receptionist to the optometrist to the optician! As a first time customer, I was greeted with a warm smile right as I entered. The receptionist was extremely helpful, patiently answering all my insurance-related questions (trust me...there were a lot!). After a short wait, I was greeted by Dr. Lui. I was his last patient of the day so he took his time explaining the purpose of every single test, how to interpret the each of the results, and ultimately what was best for my eyes. I felt very comfortable in his hands and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an optometrist. The visit concluded with the optician. I was initially overwhelmed with their massive selection, but she helped me pick out glasses (yes, she did such a great job that I ended up buying two) that perfectly fit my face. I walked away very satisfied with the whole experience and will definitely be coming back in the future! read more

This place is hands down the best optometry I have came across in recent years. Dr Lui and the staffs are all very friendly and helpful. I really appreciate Dr Lui for being so detailed and informative. Best Practice in Irvine for sure! read more

With or without insurance coverage, I recommend Dr. Hawkin Lui. He is the best optometrist I have ever had. As a physician myself, my rating of other medical professionals is according to high standards. The education he provides at every appointment is so valuable! read more

everyone is very nice and helpful. Dr Lui is very professional and kind, highly recommended.

Dr Lui is very professional and very knowledgeable. My eye exam was very thorough and Dr explained in detail about my eye health. I would totally recommend this practice. And all the support staff was very friendly and professional. read more

Dr. Lui and his staff are very attentive and welcoming. The office is clean and has a good selection of frames and sunglasses. Dr. Lui is very knowledgeable, professional, patient, and friendly. He took care in examining my eyes and took time to thoroughly explain the various contact lens options available for my high prescription that other optometrists never explained to me. I've seen several different optometrists in Irvine in the last several years and hands down Dr. Lui is the best. I will be recommending Dr. Lui to all my family and friends in Orange County. read more

Staff and doctors here are very pleasant and outstanding experience overall. This is my 3rd year now my whole family goes here.

Great eye doctor! Both my husband and I saw Dr Lui for the first time and it was one of the best eye experiences I've ever had. I've been wearing glasses/contacts since I was 4 which means going to the eye doc at least once a year. Dr L. was one of the first doctor to actually explain to me what he is testing for, results on certain exams, etc. Everything was professional, well done, thoroughly explained and we are beyond pleased. Another great plus is that Dr Lui is younger which means he brings new ideas, instruments, etc. The staff was extremely friendly, bubbly, professional, and made me as a new client feel welcomed. Overall, after being to at least 7 eye docs in my life, I give this place a 10+. Hoping we can continue to come here for a long time. read more

I came to this place for a second thought for my eye LASIK surgery , Dr Lui and his staff are so friendly and helpful. Dr. Lui explained to me in detail about my eyes condition and they have the machine that helped check with my corneal too. I really appreciate that. And definitely recommend this place for anybody who need to go optometrist. read more

I have been a patient at this practice for several years and have always been treated with kindness and respect - until now. A few weeks ago I had an appointment which went well. I ordered bifocal sunglasses and a set of new frames for every day and updated lenses. It was, even after using insurance an expensive visit. After a couple of weeks I received a call that my glasses were ready to pick up. I gathered them and took them home. After arriving home I tried on my every day glasses and discovered that the lenses were incorrect. I called the office and was told it wasn't their fault (no apology or accountability) but they could order a new set of lenses for me. Another couple of weeks went by and they called me to say the lenses had arrived so I would need to make an appointment to come in and wait while they traded out the lenses. Not particularly helpful or flexible with an appointment. I arrived today a couple of minutes early and opened the door to the store. The Dr was standing in the waiting room area and all of the staff was facing him. Someone asked me my name and grabbed a bag with I assume the lenses. I felt uncomfortable with everyone looking at me and the Dr said "I am holding a meeting and would like to continue". One of the staff asked me to wait outside! In shock - I did. I have never been treated that way - ever. I waited a few minutes and one of the staff came out with my glasses. No apologies, told me I was early and took no responsibility for the mistake, the rudeness and apparently had never been exposed to a decent level of customer service. I will never go there again. read more

Best optometry I've been too! The office is well taken care of, and the staff is knowledgeable about their professions. They have a great variety of different brands to choose from that fit all face shapes! Dr. Lui also explains everything very clearly in the exam room, so all those questions you're too nervous to ask are answered Definitely stop by here if you ever get the chance! read more

Seamless process and overall experience. I came in for both a eye exam, glasses and contacts, so the works! What I loved; thorough eye exam, very knowledgable staff and optometrist, their assistants are super helpful in setting up my insurance before I come in and glasses take about a week to be ready. In terms of pricing, I thought it was also very reasonable. For contacts, their prices were comparable to your big online retailers. And for glasses, there were a lot of choose from for any price range. They are very busy on the weekends, so if you can come on a weekday I would recommend it. Their hours are also not consistent throughout the week, so double check before swinging by. read more

Great experience at optometry corner! The physicians are great and the staff are friendly and responsive. Would recommend.

Dr Lui was patient, thorough and answered all our questions. Front desk and support staff also very helpful and pleasant. And to top off, many stylish choice of frames. read more

Amazing service and state of the art equipment. Dr. Lui was able to correct my vision when previous doctors could not. I have my vision back and it's 20/20. read more

Dr. Patel is an excellent and highly skilled Optometrist. She was able to quickly determine why my vision was not clear, something other doctors had missed. She also made the decision to treat my dry eyes before fitting me for contact lenses, also something other doctors had failed to do. And she is super nice! I highly recommend her! The staff is courteous too. Overall great first visit. read more

First time visit since we moved to Irvine. I came today with my wife and kids. We were split into two groups and taken care of by Dr. Lui and Dr. Patel. Both the doctors and front desk nurses are very nice and professional. My daughter was interested with in equipment and Dr. Patel answered her questions patiently like a big sister. The entire process is relaxing. It's joyful experience. read more

This is the only time I've gotten glasses that didn't give me a headache or make me dizzy. Dr. Liu is not only a great doctor, he's also very nice. The staff are also very professional. The glasses cost me more than usual but I would still recommend this place a 100%. read more

Went in for my routine check-up! Dr. Lui is phenomenal. He really takes the time to educate/advocate for the importance of Healthy eyes. I feel as if though eyes are the least of people's worries but it's very much as important to get them checked yearly like your teeth or your health physicals. You owe it to yourself to invest in you. Thank you again Sr. Lui for sharing your knowledge and "Eye" will see you next year. read more

Highly recommended! Dr. Lui is very knowledgeable and professional, and his staff is very helpful. Patient care is very important for them, and he answered all my questions. I have pretty good vision, but have vision insurance and found Optometry Corner for my eye exam. Their prices on glasses are great, and I even got sunglasses with my FSA. read more
