Everyone was super nice and helpful. They followed Covid 19 standards. The glasses look great on my husband and prices are reasonable. Was looking for a reliable optometrist near me and we found it here. Much better then driving to Seal Beach. read more

Dr. Alex goes out of his way to make sure you get the correct prescription. He is very thoughtful and professional. The office has a friendly feel with a personal touch. Thanks Dr. Alex! read more

I would recommend this place because the Optometrists are SOOO personable, friendly and detailed. I didn't even have an appointment. I attended my Fiance's appointment and was there through the whole exam. Being detailed and relating to you helps tremendously. That is what they do, and I like that. The location is very clean and has a small touch of Disney art around the area and it's really nice. I will definitely make an appointment the next time I need to next year. Thanks! read more

The best optometry out there! I had my very first visit today with Dr. Romero today & it went wonderful! Hes the best! He explained everything thoroughly and helped me with getting my first pair of contacts! From the moment I called to make an appt to the moment I walked out of the office it was a great experience! Thank you guys for making me so comfortable and making me feel like I had know you guys forever! read more

Dr. Alex and crew are the best! Talk about an easy office to walk into. Laid back yet professional. I trust him with my eyes and will soon be bringing my children in for their first check-ups. I can't say enough good things about this family run local business. read more

This was my first time going to an optometrist and I got so lucky with this spot! I made an appointment after years of family telling me I squint too much and had no idea what to expect but everyone here made it such an easy process. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and Dr Alex was amazing. Even though I don't need glasses just yet, I am definitely sending my glasses wearing husband here! Thank you so much! read more

Best optometrist I have ever been to - hands down. Not only is Alex and his staff incredible welcoming and friendly, but he has such attention to detail and care for the well-being of your eyes. He takes the time to explain questions with layman's detail, and leaves no stone unturned in his examination to ensure that you are prescribed exactly what you need, and what you don't. If you are shopping for a new optometrist Alex and the Orange Circle team are your people. I have been going to them 4 years strong, moved out of Orange, and still go to them. If you go you'll see why I do. read more

I've come in here about three times before, to get my eyes checked and to pick out glasses and every time has been great. The staff are so nice, I've had my eyes checked by Alex every time and he does a great job, I get my glasses just the way I need them. This time when I came in I just needed the frame of my glasses slightly adjusted because they had been offset at a weird angle for a while. I came in by myself, and immediately was welcomed by an assistant (I don't know her name unfortunately) She fixed my glasses right then and there, for free, in a matter of probably a minute. It was so fast I couldn't believe it! I knew my glasses only needed a minor adjustment but it still struck me by surprise, in a great way. After she fixed my glasses she told me that it was the shop's 5th anniversary of being open, and they were giving out free desserts and goodies. Of course, I couldn't pass up! They had homemade banana pudding and chocolate dipped ritz crackers with peanut butter. Both super good. And then the lady gave me a goodie bag which contained caramel popcorn, a cleaning cloth, a flyer and a stuffed eyeball. Needless to say, not every day is their shop's 5 year anniversary so don't come expecting banana pudding, cookies and a goodie bag! But I wanted to show this as part of my review because I think it perfectly demonstrates the sincere kindness and generosity of this business. I don't usually do Yelp reviews but this experience stuck out so strongly and positively that I had to! What a great local business! Thanks a lot guys. read more

Orange Circle Optometry - Free goodie bag! - Optometrists Near Me - Orange, California

I went for my initial visit this week. They staff is very attentive and helpful. The optometrist was very through and answered every single question I had. I never felt rushed when asking questions. I would highly recommend Orange Circle Optometry. No high pressure sales either! read more

Had a great experience getting an eye exam at Orange Circle Optometry. The staff is very friendly and professional. Ordering new glasses was fun and easy. Highly recommend. read more

Customer service is top notch. Long story short, I couldn't find frames I liked so I ended up turning to Yelp and found this place. Decided to check out, Ana greeted me and offered her assistance. She is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Finally got frames that I love, I feel like the prices were great and that my insurance covered more and better quality options than at my previous optometrist. (Not confirmed just my opinion, I paid 60 bucks out of pocket and I'm used to spending way more) I never had an issue with my previous optometrist, but the level of customer service experienced here, definitely has encouraged me to switch. read more

This place is great! Dr Alex is great. Love how he talks me through everything and explains everything in a way I can easily understand. He is always so professional. The office staff is amazing too. They are always so accommodating and are helpful. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a great eye doctor. read more

I recently had an eye exam and consultation with a view to using contacts to correct age deterioration. I was tired of constantly loosing readers and needing to put them on and take them off again many times a day. I met with Dr Li who was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Within 30 minutes I was wearing a mono lens and able to see both near and far. One week later i had a follow up appointment with Dr Alex. I told him I was having a little difficulty adjusting to the blurriness I was experiencing. He was so incredibly patient and tried a few different stre lenses. We are in the process of "tweaking" things until I'm completely satisfied with my vision. It's not often that I'm blown away by good customer service! This place rocks and I know I'm in good hands even if it takes a few adjustments. read more

Im not much on rating on yelp and actually hate the concept, I just use this app to look at food photos. But I couldn't resist making this comment. I've had great experience with the Dr himself, but the issue is the person answering the phone. When a patient calls and says he has an emergency with his eye and needs his "eye" dr to look at it you would think the operator would say hold on and let me see if the dr will fit you in. Not we're booked on the hour doing fittings and eye exams. I replied and said so I have to go to the emergency hospital and see some non eye specialist? As she said sorry I simply hung up. If they want to figure out when this happened, it was today at around 3:45pm. Well I guess I would just say the operator/receptionist is simply "dumb". I'll never come back there again!! So I guess I'll need to respond to your response, since you clearly aren't hearing the entire story. I did cancel as I was stuck in Friday traffic coming back from LA. Yes I do work sorry. Your receptionist told me you guys don't work on Monday and that I can be seen Tuesday. I told her that I probably will need to see someone over the weekend if not that night. I did see a personal friend who was a Dr who gave me prescribed eye drops. It helped mitigate the pain but it never healed like I was expecting hence the call again as my eye flared up again. I'm not the Dr and I'm not a perfect patient. I was clearly asking for help/assistance and your receptionist clearly pushed me off to a hospital. No harm no foul. If you want me to pay you for your extra time to wait for my assistant please invoice me, I have no issue with that. Also if you truly cared about my eye and or service you would of simply called me yesterday as you have my number. But now we're on Yelp discussing my eye, service and the 1 Star. Amazing..... I guess Yelp was the only way to get to talk to you though. read more

I've gone to Orange Circle Optometry for over 5 years, now. I was recently in a pinch, and Dr. Ly was able to help me out quickly. Thank you for everything all these years! read more

I would very much recommend this optometry office! Dr. Alex was very friendly and helped me find the perfect prescription and glasses! They are a really affordable price as well! read more

Thank you for your thorough and attentive exam, Dr. Romero! I found this place because I needed an eye doctor to see on my lunch break. Dr. Romero was very considerate of my schedule, yet made sure he came up with the best solution for my eye care needs. I will definitely return for as long as I work in Orange County. read more

This is a hidden gem in the Orange Circle. Dr. Nguyen and staff are incredibly nice and helpful. Specifically, Dr. Nguyen was extremely knowledgeable, honest, and personable during the eye exam. We discussed my vision benefits and she helped me weighed the pros and cons. I look forward to seeing the team annually! They went above and beyond in customer service. read more

Great service, great people! Nugget found her new optometrist! She was able to get exactly what she wanted and can't wait to show off her new glasses at school . The business is a little hidden so if you can't find it just look for the USA bank which is directly across the street from it. read more

Wow. What a nice breath of fresh air. Not that I didn't like my previous optometrist but that outfit had just gotten a little too big and impersonal for me. What a great find on yelp to come here. Dr. Romero was not only extremely nice, he actually explained every process throughout the entire appointment. After 12 years, I finally know why I have to look into the blue circle of death with numb eyes, what the hot air balloon really does, and why he has to ask "1 or 2" over and over again. I HIGHLY suggest giving this place a try. A very old town feel in an old town environment in the City of Orange. Thanks Orange Circle Optometry! read more

Oh my spectacles! As a longtime four-eyed lady quite devoted to spectacle-wearing, I have seen my share of optometrists. I have to say that out of all the stodgy, curmudgeonly eye docs I have been to, Dr. Nguyen was the kindest and most friendly-- you can tell that she genuinely cares about the experience of the patient. As opposed to the usual emotionless "Read the bottom line. Okay. 2 or 3", she actually listens and asks questions to make sure I am comfortable and at ease---- which is quite a feat considering all the scary things poking at my eyeballs at a check-up! Being attached to my glasses as I am, I have been struggling with the concept of contacts for quite a number of years. I am a rather crappy soccer player, and getting hit in the face whilst wearing glasses isn't the best experience, so contacts are a necessity. While for any normal person the act is easy, (open your eyeball, put the thing in, and voila! clarity!), for me it has been a terrible if not impossible task. A tiny, almond-eyed asian, my eyeballs have never been receptive at all. That is, until I met Dr. Ly Nguyen! My new savior in all things eye-related. She calmly talked me through putting a contact in my eye (where all other docs had given up), while humoring my self-deprecation, and I finally felt like how those folks in those Acuvue commercials felt. SUCCESS! Even the other doctor, Dr. Romero, walked by to congratulate me on my newfound vision! Seriously, these doctors are awesome. Overall, I was very impressed by the amount of care devoted to me, even for a simple eye exam and contacts coaching. I would definitely recommend the doctors here to anyone looking for some eyeball maintenance. read more

Dr. Alex is so kind and knowledgeable and cost conscious. He is such a genuine person and you can tell he really cared about the eye health of his patients. The staff is excellent and always helpful with great customer service. It's nice to see the same people there year after year and says a lot about how this business is run. Plus is super fun to go to the Circle for my eye appointment. read more

Wow I love this place! Dr. Romero was so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. He took the time to explain every procedure he was doing and why he was doing it. He made sure to answer all my question and quadruple check my prescription to make sure I was 100% satisfied with it. This was the best optometry visit I have ever had and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone living in the area! read more

Just had my first visit here and met with Dr. Ly. Absolutely loved her and the staff! Leaving out of the country soon and was concerned I wouldn't get my new glasses in time to have a back up pair! Dr. Ly gave me some disposable contact lenses should I lose or break my current glasses while out of the country. She even helped me with how to put them and and remove them (not a contact lense wearer...yet!) They had a great selection of frames to choose from! Loved the surf music playing as well! Very happy I came here!!! Thank read more

My eyes are terrible, so going to the optometrist year after year had always been a daunting task. Well this time around I can happily say that wasn't the case!! I wear contacts and I first heard about this place from a friend. Normally, I go to the more well known places, but her recommendation left me to discover that not all optometry places are the same. The office itself has a very warm and friendly atmosphere, which probably is derived from the people working there. I'm really nervous when it comes to doctor anythings, and when it came to my eye exam, Dr. Romero was very professional. Knowledgeable, patient, and even having a sense of humor he's is by far the best optometrist I've ever had. I even had a chance to meet his super nice wife, who's also a doctor herself!! Talk about a dynamic optometry duo. They are both kind and caring, aspects which are just an added bonus next to the superior service they provide. Rest assured you'll be in good hands! read more

The best service ever for eyeglass consultation. Very professional, polite, patient, informative and extremely friendly. This was the most comprehensive eye exam I've ever had. An awesome experience to say the least. I guarantee you will love this place read more

Simply the best. Thank you guys for always being reliable. I don't know what I'd do or how I'd see without you!

Wonderful, husband and wife practice that is as sweet and charming as the Orange Circle itself! I've been going to the bigger chain eyeglass crafters for years, so it was a nice treat to get personal and caring service from doctors who genuinely care about their patients. For years I've always felt my R and L eyes needed different prescriptions, but because the difference was so slight, none of my previous eye doctors ever suggested this. Dr. Romero however, was keen on his eye exam, and for the first time ever, my eye prescription feels perfectly right on me! I couldn't believe how comfortable my new glasses felt when I first put them on! My vision isn't too terrible, so I was able to get away without wearing corrective lenses and because my prescription had always been slightly off, I never felt comfortable wearing my glasses consistently. Now though, I love my glasses and wear them all the time! The eye glass selection is fantastic, they offer trendy, high quality, high end frames and very reasonable prices. I also loved the lens technician and totally trusted her style advice. She was very particular and made sure my glasses fit perfectly before I walked out the door. Thank you! read more

Thanks Orange Circle Optometry for the Great job on my very first pair of Glasses in my life! You made it easy, fun and fast! They are blended for reading and distance, and transitional within seconds to sunglasses with the active lens. I couldn't be happier, thanks for taking the time to do it right, the first time! Sincerely, David Silva. read more

Love this little place! They helped my son get just the right pair of glasses! Their doctor is great with kids too!

It's hard to determine a level of service when the place was closed during stated hours of being open. I came down here on a Saturday and stayed a few minutes till it was 10:30 in the morning. They even double downed on their hours of operation with a sign saying, "Closed, will return at 10:00 AM." According to their website, they're only open for four hours on Saturday. You would expect them to be extra punctual as a result. But there was simply no sign of them even opening up at all. Maybe they do generally provide a great experience, but all I know is that I got no service from making the trip over. Not a good first impression. read more

Dr. Alex and the staff Orange Circle Optometry are so kind and professional! I would recommend anyone to go there!

This is the best dr in orange area , he has good collections [ Moscot ] also all the opticians girl nice pretty n helpful!!! N dr Romero super nice n professional u never regret!!! Highly recommend guys !! Btw there location is super unique too make sure they have extra parking on back side read more

I have to say, I was skeptical after seeing 5-star ratings over and over again. I thought there had to be a catch, or someone was getting paid to write so many great reviews. However, I am excited to report back that these guys really are THAT good. I went into my appointed having been experiencing great pain and fatigue in both eyes. I had glasses that were prescribed over 5 years ago that didn't do me much good--I was afraid something was seriously wrong Dr. Romero was not only incredibly knowledgable, but also kind and compassionate--the exact thing you want from a doctor. He took his time and helped me find the perfect prescriptions for my eyes while simultaneously educating me along the way. Afterwards, he went above and beyond by taking my old glasses and checking them out to see what the issue was. As it turns out, the woman who prescribed them for me all those years ago was a little sloppy and the glasses were way too strong for my eyes! I am pleased to say that I am now patiently waiting for a brand new pair of PROPERLY prescribed eyeglasses, all thanks to Dr. Romero and his team. (As a side note, the ladies at the front desk were also incredibly helpful, patient, and informative. It's obvious that the staff truly work together in tandem.) read more

This review is long over due....so I 'm playing catch up. Dr. Alex Romero and his staff. What can I say...but AMAZING!! He discusses with you every little thing that he is going to do during your eye exam. He even numbed the corner of my eyes to poke a few holes to open up some of my tear ducts. Which I am surprised I even let him do because if anything comes near my eyes, I close them. Even putting in some eye drops once in awhile myself drives me nuts! I've gone to Dr. Romero twice. This last time (about two weeks ago), my stigmatism in my right eye had gone up slightly. So new glasses! And I decided I wanted some new frames. I found some that I thought would look good on me. Which they did. But then the amazing Gwen went and grabbed some different frames, and voila! Super cute! Its like she just knew what kind of look I was aiming for. I love that it's independently owned, Dr. Romero is young...by young, I mean in his mid 30's? And he obviously has worked hard to get to where he is today. He enjoys his patients, and you will always be in good hands with this Optometrist! (Plus he likes The Misfits/Danzig...how could you not like him?) read more

I absolutely love this place and Dr. Alex Romero. He was kind, funny, and extremely helpful. When I lost my wallet along with my sample contact lenses, he gave me some more without question. He explained everything and the entire experience was awesome. He remembered me by name whenever I went in. This is where I recommend all my friends and family. read more

Dr Romero and his wife, Dr Nguyen, were so welcoming and helpful. He explained everything he was doing during my exam an answered all of my and my wife's questions in straight, simple terms. When we were done with the exam, he and his optician, Gwen, took extra care and time to help me find the perfect pair of glasses. Thank you, Dr Romero!! I look good! read more

Very friendly and helpful staff. Dr. Ly and Alex are excellent and very knowledgeable. They answered all of my questions. The glasses I got from them work well and they're great! Thank you! read more

This has been my go to eye glasses/contacts place for the past few years. I will never ever go anywhere else again. Alex is so thorough with exams and really listens and tries to meet your needs.
