Eyewear Is Excellent, But There Are Alternatives

We love glasses, after all, we offer a vast selection of stylish frames and lenses, but for patients looking to see clearly without relying on eyewear, laser eye surgery can enhance your eyesight — and your lifestyle.

Types of Laser Eye Surgery

The decision to undergo laser eye surgery is a serious one, but our expert doctors will help you reach an informed decision. We’ll factor in your candidacy, vision needs, and budget to help you find the laser procedure that would work best for you and your eyes.

  • LASIK is one of the most popular forms of laser eye surgery. During the procedure, your surgeon uses ultraprecise lasers to gently reshape your eye’s cornea, helping the eye focus for clearer vision.
  • PRK is another common form of laser eye surgery which also reshapes your cornea to correct your vision. Unlike LASIK, PRK only affects the top layer of the cornea, making it an excellent option for patients with thin or sensitive corneas.

Start with a Consultation

During your appointment, your optometrist will perform several tests to determine if you’re a good candidate for laser eye surgery. To assess your candidacy, we use advanced technology to assess certain factors, like your pupil size, corneal thickness, and your current prescription.

If we determine laser eye surgery is a good option for you, we’ll discuss the benefits of the procedure and what kind of results you can expect. We’ll also thoroughly explain what you can expect before, during, and after the surgery, and address all your questions or concerns about the entire process.

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!!!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.
