    If you're looking for a great eye doctor, I highly recommend Dr. David Yoo, especially if you're dealing with contact lens issues. He's knowledgeable, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond. I found Dr. Yoo through VSP and he was listed second, but honestly, he deserves to be first. When I called, the receptionist answered right away and was able to schedule me for a same-day appointment. I even called back to let them know I'd be about five minutes late - no problem at all. They also helped me figure out parking (super easy & right across from Karl Strauss). From the moment I walked in, I felt taken care of. The receptionist greeted me warmly and had me fill out the necessary paperwork. Shortly after, two staff members brought me in for pre-tests. They were both incredibly kind and patient. One of them let me know Dr. Yoo was just finishing with another patient and guided me to the waiting area. I barely had time to browse their display of designer frames before another friendly team member escorted me to an exam room, where Dr. Yoo went over the test results with me. Dr. Yoo was fantastic. I told him about my dry eyes, and after running a few tests, he noticed a film over my eyes and asked thoughtful, detailed questions about makeup use, allergies, even whether I might sleep with my eyes open (turns out, I might!). He explained everything clearly and made it easy to understand. He prescribed eye drops, a nighttime ointment, and recommended a heated eye mask. He even ordered some contact lens samples for me to try. Even the checkout experience was seamless. The staff member (Shiela) who helped me was friendly, explained the products I purchased, and helped schedule my follow-up. Honestly, after five years of going to LensCrafters, this was a completely different experience -- more personal, more thorough, and far more reassuring. I left feeling confident, informed, and truly cared for. The office is clean, well-organized, and filled with people who clearly love what they do. The entire staff deserves a well-fed team dinner somewhere amazing and all the boba drinks on a hot Summer days! Huge thanks to Dr. Yoo and the team at South Coast Optometry. I'm actually looking forward to my follow-up appointment!

When I went in for a consult, I was unfortunately not a good candidate for LASIK. Dr. Feinerman suggested another procedure called EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) that I was a good fit for. Despite the higher cost compared to LASIK, I was totally on board. I scheduled my surgery appointment afterwards and I was given instructions on how to prepare for the procedure (I had to put eye drops in beforehand). The surgery center Dr. Feinerman used was in Tustin (Barranca Surgery Center). I had a very early appointment and I didn't have to wait too long. The procedure took what felt like 10 minutes, but could have been way longer (the anesthesia worked like a charm!). I had my sister drive me home, there is no way you should try to drive yourself home after getting this done!! Immediately after the surgery, my vision had a noticeable improvement, with sensitivity to light. Over the next 3 months, my vision stabilized and I don't have dry eyes as often anymore. Dr. Feinerman and his entire team were a pleasure to interact with. Totally recommend this place!!

    Dr. Michelle Chun - IPL for Dry Eyes…read more Have dry eyes? I've suffered with uncomfortable dry eyes for the last several years. I used to wake up every morning with red, irritated, gritty eyes and constant discomfort throughout the day. I tried lubricant drops galore and several different treatments and regimens, but nothing gave more than temporary relief. Recently, I was referred to Dr. Michelle Chun to try a treatment called IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), and it has truly been a life-changer for my eyes. I completed four treatments, and the difference is incredible--my eyes feel comfortable again, the redness has dramatically improved, and I no longer rely on drops all day long. Not only was the treatment effective, but Dr. Chun herself is absolutely amazing. Her chair-side manner is gentle, professional, and educational. She took the time to explain every step, answered all my questions, and made me feel completely at ease. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and their quality of life. If you're struggling with dry eyes and haven't found relief, I highly recommend seeing Dr. Michelle Chun and asking about IPL. I only wish I had done it sooner!

Dr. Schramm is very detail-oriented, checking her eyes carefully to ensure the lenses are not damaging her vision.

What stands out most is his personal touch; he knows his patients not by number but as individuals.

I've never had an optometrist go into as much detail as he did. He also made a note to watch me for glaucoma since I have the genetics from both parents - which most optometrist have brushed me off for in the past. The staff are also equally amazing. I can be really indecisive when it comes to choosing frames and lenses options but they're always so patient and helpful when I ask for their opinions. I can also be really picky about how my glasses fit and they have never made me feel bad about it or made me feel rushed. As for the frames selection, a lot of their frames are on the higher end but they do have a small section for more affordable brands. If they don't have a specific frame you are looking for, they can see if they can order them for you but you will have to cover the shipping costs. I did this last year and to me it's worth it because I didn't come across a place that offered that to me. Personally, this office deserves a 15/10. I can't believe I didn't start going here earlier!!
