Why Are Children’s Eye Exams Important?
Children are constantly growing, and so are their eyes! As your child’s eyes develop, it’s especially important to monitor their eye health and check for any changes in their vision. Regular pediatric eye exams allow us to check for issues that are more common in children, such as strabismus (crossed eyes) and myopia (nearsightedness), so that we can develop a care plan to address them before they affect your child’s sight. In addition, a yearly eye exam lets us give your child accurate vision prescriptions, so they’ll never struggle to see clearly.
At all our optometric centers, you’ll receive comprehensive eye care for the whole family. Our doctors are experts in working with kids and go out of their way to make sure your child feels involved in their vision health in a fun and exciting way. Our kid-friendly technology backed by our welcoming pediatric eye doctors ensure that your child is comfortable and taken care of during their eye exam.
Pediatric Eye Doctors
Our pediatric eye doctors are committed to your child’s vision for the long run. We’ll guide them through their exam and educate them on their eye health so that they feel seen and important. With our attentive, compassionate care, we’ll make sure your child looks forward to a trip to the eye doctor!
Kid Friendly Technology
We use effective, industry-leading technology in our care to all our patients, including the little ones! Our Optovue iWellness Exam — a state-of-the-art optical coherence tomography (OCT) device — allows us to capture a complete image of the back of your child’s eyes, ensuring accurate prescriptions and precise screenings. In the hands of our caring doctors, this technology allows us to cover all the bases of your child’s eye health.
A Fun, Engaging Experience
We know that trips to the doctor can be scary for children, but with our welcoming doctors and comfortable atmosphere, they don’t have to be! Our doctors have years of experience working with children and will make sure that they’re relaxed during each step of our in-depth care.

The optician took her time and really payed attention to what I had looking for
Beautiful office! Super friendly staff. I loved the doctor, she was so patient and explained things so well.
No Optometrist has EVER taken as much time as Dr. Yamamoto has in order to give me the best vision possible. I am not a difficult person just a difficult fit. I thank Dr. Yamamoto and the staff at La Paz Optometric for showing such kindness and patience. And ..Yeah ...we finally got the correction!!!!
I had a great experience at La Paz. The optometrist was very friendly and honest and took the time to ensure everything was done thoroughly. I also got a nice pair of sunglasses at a reasonable price. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout the visit.
Great experience. Very professional but also relaxed atmosphere. Dr Yamamoto was very knowledgeable and helped me figure out what was causing my dry eyes. Light years better than the mega Goliath and impersonal factory that Harvard eye care became over the years. So glad I switched.
La Paz Optometric is great! The staff there is amazing and you can tell they care about the patients and the business. Dr Sako was so nice and knowledgeable. He made me feel comfortable every step of the way. The office is state of the art and I had so many more test and procedures than at other places. I highly recommended this office!
What a fantastic office! 100% positive experience.1. The ease of online appointment scheduling and patient forms2. Friendly staff at the reception area3. Technician administering visual tests extremely knowledgeable and friendly.4. Dr. Michael Lum clearly explained my results and my options so that I would receive the right prescription for my multiple visual needs5. Huge selection of frames to choose from which could have been overwhelming but Erin hand selected many for me to choose from and between us we were able to quickly find the perfect pair.I have never been excited to go to for an eye exam or to pick out glasses but I now look forward to my appointments at this office.
LaPaz Optometric is a wonderful practice, both for regular eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses, and also for more complex well eye visits. I've had two eye related health issues in the last 18 months, and both times the team here was able to quickly fit me in, do a thorough exam, and leave me treatment and guidance that made me confident in the health of my eyes. Plus, everyone is so friendly, I don't ever have to sit around and wait, the equipment is very modern and confidence inspiring, and all three doctors I've met are very knowledgeable, great with patients, and just plain nice people! Highly recommend!
Staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.Dr Yamamoto is great. He takes the time to answer questions and doesn’t make you feel rushed.Amelia helped me find the perfect pair of glasses and was really patient with me.I’d recommend this office in a heartbeat!
Wonderful vision center and I would recommend it to everyone. The staff are always super friendly and professional. The Optometrist is always asking about your concerns, issues, or any questions you may have. Plus they have a huge selection of glasses to pick from.
Nancy did a great job going into detail to effectively evaluate my needs
Great staff! I got in right away, and they answered all of my questions and concerns.
I am impressed by the hi-tech evaluation equipment Dr. Walsh uses, along with the care she takes to explain the results of the tests and evaluations. I have found my new Optometrist!
Extraordinary customer service and bedside manner by Dr. Walsh. Beautiful locale and surroundings and a very patient Michael took care of all my needs.
Dr Amanda Walsh and her team are excellent. On time, efficient, thorough and professional. Your eyes are in good hands with Mission Viejo Optometric Center!
Fantastic experience and I rarely say that about going to a doctors office but Dr.Walsh is very nice and thorough and I can tell she truly cares about my eyes being their best. The staff is very nice and made it easy and affordable to get the contacts I needed and new pair of glasses I’ve needed for a decade. There are enough tough things in life- thanks for making this all so easy! ( Btw, noticed this place is also very kid friendly when I was chatting with some kids while looking at frames!)
Mission Viejo optometry Center was very attentive to every detail in helping me make decisions and maximizing my vision benefits. I wear multifocal contact lenses and have found success in seeing both distance and close-up, which I understand is a rare feat. Dr Lau was awesome and all staff especially Sandi the office manager was tops!!
Staff is friendly and very efficient. The equipment is extremely modern. Lots of options provided
This was a very pleasurable experience. Best Optometrist that I've been too in my entire life. Very thorough, friendly, upfront and honest which is hard to find in one place - especially today.
Excellent second visit!I am a kind of person oriented to details and I have hard time to make up my mind especially when the store have a large selection of frames. They also search on internet the frame i wear now, they found it, ordered it will not pay for in until I am satisfied.They are absolutely wonderful!I strongly recommend this office of Mission Viejo Optometric Center.

First time patient. Place was super easy to find and get to. Everyone was extremely nice! Explained everything and made my eye exam and entire process fun. Was able to use my insurance and get new lenses put into the frames I already had. Entire appointment was quick, painless, easy and I definitely would recommend!

Thank you so much for being so patient to answer all of my questions. Dr. Walsh was attentive and gentle. Her diagnosis makes sense to me and currently under prescription - will find out effectiveness in 2 weeks.

Yesterday I had my routine eye exam. Not really sure where to start with this review. The crew was amazing, professional and kind. They took their time in running all the tests and explained everything in details. After completing all the tests, Dr. Walsh took her time with me to address all the concerns, prescribe the best lenses for my glasses and contacts. They by far the most professional optometry center I’ve ever dealt with. As a patient never been that happy. Simply if you have vision challenges. That’s the place you want to be to get your treatment.So glad that I found my optometry center.The most highly recommended vision center. If there was more then 5 stars I would have definitely gave it to the team.That’s the place you should go to if you want to walk out with a smile on your face. They magically know how to draw a fat one on your face.
Dr. Walsh was extremely knowledgeable and thorough while also being compassionate and caring. The office was friendly and well organized making it a great experience.I would highly recommend Dr. Walsh and her team!
Everyone at Mission Viejo Optometric Center was very friendly and professional. Dr. Walsh examined my eyes and Jennifer helped me find some great frames. She even ordered several petite frames for me to choose from. I would highly recommend them.
I had a great experience! Dr Walsh and her staff are professional, kind and helpful. I had a very thorough exam. They were also very knowledgeable regarding my insurance coverage and helpful in selecting glasses.
I’ve had a great experience with everyone there who has helped me and been so patient and kind.
Tustin optometry does a wonderful job. Dr.Hseih is very thorough and personable. In fact, their whole staff is excellent.
Dr Hsieh is the best optometrist I've ever "seen". She knows her stuff and is very knowledgeable in her fields Thank you for a comprehensive exam.
After going to Costco optical for the last 10 years, my friend referred me to this place. WOW, I've been missing out. It is a fabulous place to get your eyes checked and get contacts/glasses. The doctors and front office staff are amazing, they make you feel like family. Even when my 14 year old daughter wanted to wear contacts, they spent almost 2hrs with her teaching her how to put them on, with no complaints or frustrations. They were so patient and so lovely with her. I love this place and will recommend it to all of my friends & family.
Had a great time at the office! The staff, Rene and Jody are super nice, accommodating, and making me feel at ease. Dr. Hsieh was just as nice, very thorough in her exam, and took the time to answer all my questions.The office also has a wide selection of glasses to choose from. The whole team (including the doctor!) were happy to help give their input so I could select the frame that best fit me.Would recommend this optometry office to anyone wanting to get an stress free eye exam with a great office attitude and friendly faces!
I've been going to Dr. Nakasone for a many years. The entire staff are professional, kind and highly skilled. I highly recommend North Tustin Avenue Optometric Center.
Everyone at this office is friendly and helpful. I can't imagine a better experience! I have purchased glasses, prescriptiom sun glasses and soft contacts over several years and I keep going back because they are the best! They take the time to answer all questions whether it be picking out lenses or explaining payment options. THE BEST!
I have been going here for over 30 years. Super friendly staff. Great doctors that give you all the time and care you need. No waiting, they are always ready for you.
The staff is very friendly. Very thorough exam. I had to take my glasses back for them to adjust my focal point. They fit me in really quickly and made sure they found the issue.
I've been coming to this optometry establishment for years, and have always had nothing short of a positive experience. They are now under new management, but the service provided is still exceptional.I booked my annual eye exam, and was going in feeling comfortable. On our call, Jody had asked me to make sure to bring my mask and to fill out some paperwork via email prior to my appointment, to reduce contact and time spent in the office. Upon arrival, I was asked to call the front desk to assure that I would be socially-distanced and everything was cleaned before entering. Once entered, Jody took my temperature and then walked me through some eye tests. She made sure to wipe all of the equipment down before use, which was very assuring. I then walked into my exam, and there was a sign on the chair before sitting down stating that it had been cleaned. I had an eye exam with Dr. Hsieh, and was extremely happy with her professionalism and knowledge. We ended up trying out some new contacts! James checked the schedule and had me book a 1-week follow-up appointment to make sure that they were to my satisfaction before ordering them.I came back a week later with no problems, and ended up purchasing a year supply of contacts (which were shipped to my house promptly - in less than a week).Overall, they are one business that is following COVID guidelines well, and I will continue to give them my service!
Dr. Aaron Chi is an excellent optometrist. He genuinely is concerned about you as a patient and is also good at testing and diagnosing your eyes needs! I will definitely use Dr. Chi in the future!
Dr. Chi is very professional and caring for his patients. The staff are cheerful and very friendly.
The Doctor to the staff are amazing. So helpful and easy to work with.
Great place to get eye care: staff is friendly, competent, and professional. I’d recommend this place to anyone!
Professional friendly service. Up to date technology to make certain your eye exams is accurate and you feel secure the results are accurate. Would highly recommend the Doctor and staff.
Good, friendly and efficient staff. Doctors are very personable and professional. I showed up early for my scheduled appointment and they had me back in the exam room seeing the doctor before I knew it. I definitely recommend.
Very great experience here! The employees were very friendly and helpful! They fixed my glasses that were severely broken for free! Would recommend coming here! The glasses are super cute too :))
Love the staff at Brookhurst Optometric! Knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. My whole family gives them a thumbs up...
I've been coming here for years. Great group of people who know what they're doing.
Great staff and optometrist. I highly recommend Brookhurst optometric center.
Doctor Chi on my yearly eye exam discovered on the screening retinal pictures a tear in my left retina with possible retinal detachment. He assisted in contacting my Primary Care Provider and because of his efforts I got an urgent referral to a retinal specialist who was able to save my vision in the eye. I will be eternally grateful for the level of excellent care and caring I received.
Brookhurst Optometric has been my eye doctor for over 20 years starting with Dr James Cooperman. I recently went and did a full set of exams, ordered new glasses and new contacts. The staff is always very friendly and extremely professional. They have a great selection of frames, if you want a new frame with glasses. They make the experience a true delight and I would recommend them for all.
I usually don’t post but Brookhurst Optometric Center has exceeded my expectations. It used to be a different owner but they did a wonderful job continuing the service. Dr Chi is so helpful with my contact lens’s examination. He made sure I understood the changes and he answered all my questions. Sam is the most accommodating and helped me with all my requests. Such a wonderful experience with this office. Definitely will come back again.
Was greeted by the receptionist as soon as I entered the store. She was expecting me and was prepared to start on a series of tests, which she administered. Following these tests, I was ushered into the optical testing room where I met Dr. Chi. He administered the eye tests, decided on the corrections to my existing lenses, and handed them off to the lady who would do my glasses fitting. He also went over the test results that peeked into my eyes (no dilation required!) which indicated I was free from any bad stuff. I was allowed to keep my sunglasses frames (which I liked) and received the new glasses (sunglasses and clear) one week later. Wearing the new glasses now and am delighted with them. Pleasant and efficient operation which I recommend to anyone.
I've been going here for years and always very happy with their level of service. They are timely and very professional and the doctors always take their time to answer all questions and concerns. I do recommend them!
I went in for my annual exam. I expected to be greeted by a friendly staff and I certainly was! I was told Dr Cooperman himself retired which was no problem for me as I have never met him and was always examined by another doctor on staff. I must say that this crew working there is very friendly and professional. My appointment was on time, and I felt very well taken care of. I felt like they took the time to make sure I was getting the best service. The entire staff seems very knowledgeable and efficient. I would certainly recommend this office to anyone!
Husband has an urgent need to have his eye looked at, no appointment… the office scheduled him for next day, but asked him to stick around for a bit as they worked on getting him in sooner. He was seen later in the day and given a very thorough examination and testing. They went above and beyond for him.In addition, we have experienced the staff to be very professional, patient and kind when calling to change or make appointments. Also when checking in to be seen.The office is very clean
I give two thumbs up to the dedicated office staff. I would recommend the Brookhurst Optometric Center to anyone who needs immediate vision care. I was a previous patient and hadn’t been seen for 1.5 year. I took a chance a walked in hoping to be seen.I was greeted by Jacob who was warm and welcoming. I explained my vision problem and he asked if I wanted to be seen today. I said “yes”. Jacob checked my insurance and explained me the tests that would be performed. He was so kind and helpful. I was seen 30 minutes later and had a full eye exam and was fitted for contacts. I was so thrilled. I was seen by Dr Chi. Excellent Optometrist. He was very patience with me and explained and answered every question I had. He even assisted me by plucking sn ingrown hair from my eyelid. Wow! I checked out with the girls who were delightful . I had the best experience. The entire office staff was friendly and very helpful. Stop by and see them! You”ll be happy you did.
I had a good experience at this office for my eye exam. I've been having a little trouble seeing my phone with my glasses and Dr. Chi gave me a solution on my new ones. The staff were also very helpful since I walking in the door to me choosinga new frame. They treats me like a family instead of another patient. Not having to dilate this year because of the tech they have might be one of the best part.
