Dr Prescher is still wonderful as the years go by. I truly look forward to my eye exam as I would catching up with a longtime friend. A visit here combines expert and professional optical heath care with the most pleasant, kind and amiable person you'd ever want to meet. read more

Make sure when you make your appointment at Costco that you are actually going to see the doctor and not someone else. Although I did get an eye exam, I do question whether it was comprehensive. The young woman I saw seemed disinterested to be there and was not friendly at all. Deb Pace read more

Robert Prescher, OD - Price list 9-9-24 - Optometrists Near Me - Irvine, California

Fabulous, patient, knowledgeable and a great doctor. Dr. Prescher is very familiar with all the newest concepts in improving your vision and is gentle, kind with a great personality and he plays wonderful music. I walked in not being able to see close up, and left with the best contacts and the perfect strength. I HIGHLY recommend a visit to Dr. Prescher, if needing contact, glasses, sunglasses and you want to be in good hands with a knowledgeable and nice guy!!! Thank you very much. read more

Had my eye exam today and Dr. Robert is by far the nicest optometrist I've ever been to. Had a nice conversation with him today, and I like that he is also very friendly. He had also explained the status of my eyesight which I have never encountered to any of my optometrists before. Highly recommended for those who are looking for a good place for an eye check!! read more

I had the best visit with Dr Prescher for eye exam. He's very nice and patient, gave me a lot of thoughts he had with different brands of contact lenses. The best part, the price is extremely reasonable. The places I used to go charge extra if I want prescription for both glasses and contact lens. Dr Robert just gave me both prescriptions without me even asking. Definitely will continue to come here for all my future eye exams. read more

So yesterday I went here to do my yearly eye check done . The doctor who check my eyes was Dr . Brian Walton who was very professional. To be honest I felt as it was best experience in any of the Optometry I've had in so many years . The doctor took his take to check my eyes in many , various ways to make sure to prescribe the best option for me . Super friendly doctor as well . I do recommend to everyone to make an appointment specifically with Dr. Walton . read more

Robert Prescher, OD - Optometrists Near Me - Irvine, California

Please note you will need to schedule an appointment for an eye exam due to COVID. Got the best response via email. Dr. Walton is great. He will listen and do his best to aid and make the exam smooth. I was done in about 30 minutes. If you are a Costco member and have done previous exams at other Costco locations they can easily pull up your previous prescription orders. read more

Great doctor! Really helped me understand what everything meant. Super friendly and clean atmosphere And the front desk girls are great, went above and beyond to help me with sorting out my insurance. read more

Friendly, efficient and very educational in his briefing on the condition of your eyes

I just wanted to talk about how Dr. Prescher was absolutely amazing when I went to see him! There's so many high reviews for him, and honestly, he really deserves it. I came on a Saturday because something was bothering my eye (found out it was a scratched cornea) without an appointment or anything. He is very busy on Saturdays (Costco in general is packed on Saturdays), but was still able to squeeze me in; I had to come back a few hours later though, but that was no problem for me. I would definitely recommend making an appointment if you do plan on going to see him though. When taking a look at my eye, he was so knowledgeable and provided plenty of information. On top of that, he took his time with me even though I didn't have an appointment or anything. He made me feel like he really cared and I never felt rushed to get out of there. Although I've only been here once, I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Prescher!! He is very knowledgeable in optometry and treats his patients with the utmost care :) read more

All of the reviews are spot on! Saw Dr. P this morning for an annual check for some new specs. My eyes are really bad, but no worries! Was in an out in less than 30 minutes. Dr. P is super chill, but super knowledgeable about all things eyes. We talked about lasik and let's just say, I'm probably not a candidate. Located right next to the optical department. I would definitely try to make an appointment, because I can see that location getting very busy. read more

Just had my eyes examined today by Dr. Preacher and I am so pleased. He is very caring, thorough, and easy to talk to. He reviewed my entire medical history. Let me repeat: he reviewed my entire medical history and this was on a Saturday afternoon!! He was very patient and stopped and asked if I understood or if I had any questions. Dr. P is a very rare find! Look no further! I highly recommend using his services- he runs an excellent practice. Thank you so much!! read more

Dr. Prescher is by far the kindest, most down to earth optometrist I've ever met. He will spend as much time as you need in an exam with you, and be gets to know you not only as a patient but as a person. I had decided not to pursue laser eye surgery for so many years at the advice of previous optometrists, but he was the first person to talk to me about newer technology that would allow me to consider laser eye surgery in a person with dry eyes like myself. I got the surgery last month at his recommendation and I've never been so happy to have almost perfect vision without glasses or contacts for the first time since elementary school. He is an amazing optometrist, I would recommend him to anyone. read more

My previous pair of glasses had gotten pretty banged up and I needed a new prescription after a few years of not visiting an eye doctor. I went with Dr. Prescher at Costco for the price and excellent reviews and I was not disappointed! After a swift and thorough exam, I went and picked out two pairs of eye glasses right in Costco with my new prescription- so easy! I recommend going here if you can! read more

Dr. Prescher is the best optometrist I've ever seen! My last optometrist had me convinced that my vision was so poor that I couldn't ever expect to see clearly, even with correction. Not true! With my new prescription from Dr. Prescher, I can now see EVERYTHING! I'm so thankful to be able to read street signs for the first time in five years. read more

One of the nicest physicians I have seen in a long time. He is very knowledgeable as well. I met him for an eye exam today and I won't be going to anyone else going forward. You really feel cared for with Dr PRESCHER. read more

My previous optometrist charges me $84 for an eye exam for contacts. As far as I know, that seems pretty average/on the cheaper side for someone who doesn't have insurance. However, she does charge slightly more if you do not purchase contacts from them in store, so there's the drawback. Dr. Robert Prescher is the optometrist at the Irvine Costco, and he definitely deserves all of these 5 star reviews. I came in today to get my eyes checked so I could order contacts online, and he was very personable, comfortable, and quick. I had my eye exam in about 15-25 minutes, just enough time for my bf to go and shop for the items on our grocery list, and I finished as soon as he finished paying. The office is small but doable and for how inviting he is, it never feels cramped. He definitely is knowledgeable and even imparted some extra wisdom to me about contacts and glasses. The cost is $89, but you also have your eyeglasses prescription included as well, which my last optometrist did not do. I only wish Costco had a dentist, I would go there too! read more

Dr. Prescher is AWESOME! All the great things you read about him in these reviews are true! It was a pleasure to meet him - I wish there were more people like him, the world would be a much better place! Thank you SO MUCH, Dr. P! :-) read more

I went to Dr. Prescher while I was uninsured for a few years and I was always happy with his services. He was patient, knowledgeable and very eager to help with any questions or concerns I had. He was especially helpful when I had to go through 4 different brands of contact lenses after a freak round of eye infections. His office is very small yet always clean and accommodating to last minute appointments. Also, the doctor/staff don't try and up sell you with products/upgrades you don't really need. They simply share new products information with you. If you want to know more, simply ask. If you don't have insurance and you want an affordable optometrist without compromising quality, I highly recommend Dr. Prescher. read more

So it was time for my annual peeper check at Dr. Prescher's office. I can't believe I have been coming here close to 10 years and I certainly cannot believe I'm barely yelping this! Wait.. Oh yeah, yelp wasn't even born yet. aahh... Anyhow, allow me to digress. Here are the reasons why I am a very diligent patient with Dr. P here: * Dr. P almost always has some availability. * He is very thorough and makes sure ur comfortable with ur specs or contacts. * Dr P asserts a sense of calmness, looking like the cool dad who loves to golf. * Eye exams are pretty reasonable.. I remember paying around $75 when I first started. Currently, it's $89. I wear contacts. If you just have glasses, it's cheaper. * He doesn't sell you the most expensive brand but whichever suits u the most . yup, doesn't even try. * It's a tiny facility but somehow they manage. * Having his office inside costco just speaks for itself. * I like freebies. Your eyes. U only got two. Take good care of 'em. Get them checked. read more

I'm blind, like really blind. So blind that I can't see at all if I don't have my contacts in or glasses on. It's actually really sad. I can't wait for the day I can afford LASIK, but for now contacts will do. It's taken me awhile to finally get an OD that I really like for my contact lense exam. Dr Prescher is a really nice and knowledgeable OD. His office is located inside of Costco in Irvine, which is great for all us Costco lovers. The office is tiny but it's always really clean and staff is friendly. Plus side of his office being inside Costco is that the fees for the exam are a bit cheaper than private offices. $89 for a contact lens exam is awesome!! It's about 15 bucks cheaper if you wear just glasses. I love this office because I never feel rushed during my examination. I feel like I can really concentrate during the examination and pick the right choice for me and for my eyes. Dr Prescher will talk to you like you're an old friend or even a dad like figure (for us younger crowd). He'll give us suggestions for our contact use and/or glasses use. It's great!!! He'll also give you a free pair of contacts at the end of the exam (which is fairly typical of OD or MD offices). I highly recommend Dr Prescher's office to all us people who are in desperate need of a contact or glasses exam, you won't regret it!!! read more

Dr. Prescher is such a friendly and professional guy! He really does take the time to get to know you, despite Costco being very busy at all hours. On top of that, he is very knowledgeable on all topics of life, especially health, so he is a good guy to have a chat with. I went in for a contact lens exam, but he gave me a prescription for both contacts and glasses, in case I ever wanted to get another pair of back up glasses. Office staff is friendly and helpful. I got a call the day before my appointment to remind me about my appointment. I always appreciate that with any medical office I go to. read more

I've been wearing glasses for about two years now and I hate it. Fashion aside, having something on my face sucks, as does having to constantly clean lenses. It was time for contacts. But I didn't want to go back to the doctor who gave me my glasses because, frankly, she was cold & had a terrible manner. Costco seemed like the best solution, because of pricing, and this location is my go-to spot. So, I made an appt. with their on-site doctor, Dr,. Prescher. I arrived, his assistant did a couple quick tests, and then I was in to see the Doc. He's a great guy. Very friendly, easy manner and he doesn't make you feel rushed. That was my problem with the last person I saw; it was like she couldn't wait to rush me out the door and bill my insurance. This guy takes his time to be sure you're getting the right readings. He's knowledgeable, answering every question I had with honest answers. I don't see any reason to go anywhere else. Ever. read more

I have been going to Dr. Prescher for about 7 years. His office is obviously convenient thanks to its location in Costco. He takes his time working with you and is very knowledgeable. When I came in following treatment with an ophthalmologist for a cornea issue, he saw the scar right away in my exam and made sure to reassess my contact prescription to accommodate the new contour of my eye. My mother worked in ophthalmology for 10 years and she always makes her appointments with him too. I am always very impressed. By the way the availability is great. Usually you call a doctor and expect to get an appointment in a month or so. With Dr. Prescher, I am usually able to schedule within 2 days. Just Fabulous. read more

There is nothing more I can add, to the already glowing reviews I have read about Dr. Prescher. He is so very professional, excellent at what he does, and just makes going to see your eye doctor a very pleasant experience. He has a vast amount of knowledge to share, and yet if you want to talk about surfing, he can do that too. Dr. Prescher strikes me as a man of real integrity, and in today's world, I so very much appreciate that. Also, regarding my contact lens exam, I walked out with contacts (by they way, I have been wearing contacts since I was 12. And, unfortunately I still have to wear them,even after a "failed" LASIK surgery, which is ANOTHER story. Anyway, I walked out of his office with contacts that finally gave me the vision I needed! (side note: My surgery was ten years ago, and within months, even after a second "correction" surgery, my eyes have basically reverted back to where they were before. VERY BAD. Like I cannot even read the big E on the chart. It's grey fuzz. The LASIK experience has been SO disappointing! Not a good candidate, due to my astigmatism, but Dr. Tooma the surgeon did not bother to steer me away from surgery, and thus is was a waste of time and money. Moreover, it has actually been a very sad thing, because now I have NEVER been able to get 20/20 back, since I can't wear hard contact lenses (gas permeable) anymore...I have to wear soft, and they just don't correct like the hard lenses did.) ANYWAY, at least my good Dr. Prescher was able to help to the best of HIS ability (which is wonderful) and I have about 20/40 or 20/60 vision, corrected with soft contacts. Thanks for reading. I totally, completely, 100% endorse and recommend Dr. Prescher for all your optometry needs!!! read more

this is inside a costco but you do not need to be a costco member to have an exam! during covid they changed to appointment only and they open tuesday to saturday instead. the regular contact lens exam costs $99 and i'm very satisfied with it. when you pay at the cashier they will print a copy of your prescription so you can order it right outside at costco optometry (costco member only) and they're happy to give out solutions or a pair of lens while you're waiting for new ones to come. read more

Let me add my name to all of the others who think Dr. Prescher is wonderful. I've been coming to him for a couple of years now and have received nothing but excellent, knowledgeable care delivered in a relaxed, friendly, and easygoing manner. I highly recommend him. read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Prescher! My Aunt is an Optometrist and I have many other health care people in my family...so I can be picky. He is very skilled, easy to talk to, and will listen. I have been a patient of his for over 5 years. read more

The best!! What a great exam and overall experience. Can't say enough, thorough, educational and professional. The guy really cares down to a great detail. I'll be back for sure. read more

Talk about a hidden gem. I've been coming to Costco Optical for years, but in the last four or five I've specifically seen Dr. Prescher. He's on top of his game and very current on optical technology. Being older, like me (67) he understands the eyes' aging process and has been exceedingly helpful getting just the right contact lens Rx. You never leave feeling rushed and he is unfailingly personable. He also will go the extra mile for you. While there was about a $35 difference in cost versus my health insurance, I gladly paid the extra to see Dr. Prescher today. read more

I just got back from Dr. Prescher's office. I have been going to him for a few years. He is very thorough and professional as well as a nice guy. I highly recommend him and his services. He is located in the Costco in Irvine. read more

On May 1,2018 I was seen by Dr. Walton in dr. Prescher's office for prescription renewal and examination. Dr Walton examined my eyes and I took the prescription to the optical center in Costco for new glasses. When they came I realized that something was wrong, I could not read clearly, but decided to give them a trial period as I was told my prescription needs had changed. A week later I contacted Dr. Prescher's office and was seen by Dr. Walton again. He said he was going to change my prescription . After the new glasses arrived still could not see properly. I again gave them a fair trial and was unable to use my new glasses. I made an appointment at another Costco vision center, explained my situation,and the optometrist examined me and gave me a new prescription. When my new glasses arrived I could see clearly. The Dr. told me there was no need for my original prescription from 2 years ago to be changed. I called Dr. Prescher's office and explained this to the receptionist and he said they do not refund medical procedure charges.So, my eyes were examined, the prescription was wrong, not once but twice and they feel that I should not be refunded the cost of a misdiagnosed exam. You decide if this office is where you want to trust your vision to. read more

Very friendly and expedited exam courtesy of Dr. Prescher.

I love the fact that Dr. Prescher's office is in Costco. Dr. Prescher is personable and takes his time examing you. He doesn't make you feel rushed and takes time to answer questions. If you call his office, make sure you ask for Dr. Prescher. I've had some not so good experiences with other ODs there. read more

Love him! So patient and helpful. I've been to plenty of Optometrists in almost 2 decades of wearing glasses and have not been happier. He takes the time to get to know you and your eyes. read more

Dr. Prescher is the best. He is honest and very nice. He took his time to check my eyes, and explained to me all details. I didn't need glasses 2 years ago, and he honestly let me know I didn't need them. Unlike the others. Although he works far away from where I live, but I still prefer to go to him. Thanks, Dr. Prescher! read more

I usually go to the Irvine Costco for my lens exams but today was the first time I saw Dr. Prescher...and I am so glad I did. He completely deserves all of the 5 star reviews and I have to say, he very well may be the best doctor of any kind that I have been to. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and quick. I have insurance through Kaiser for optometry but will always choose Dr. Prescher instead...he is that good. read more

The only reason why I ever stopped going here is because my employer offered Kaiser. A change of jobs and Affordable Care and no more vision. I was just fortunate that this awesome fellow was still in business and got me in. Super sweet guy and excellent at what he does. read more
