Eye Disease Care


Eye conditions such as glaucoma and AMD often don’t show any symptoms until damage has already been done. However, our doctors can identify these and other diseases long before they impact your sight, and help you manage them to preserve your vision and eye health. Our advanced diagnostics, from OCT imaging to visual field testing, ensure we spot all manner of eye diseases early so you stay ahead of your condition.

Patients who suffer from migraine and light sensitivity are likely aware that certain colors and types of light can cause or worsen migraine and their symptoms.

Avulux® filters out 97% of light that is known to trigger or worsen the symptoms of migraine, such as amber, red, and blue light, while allowing up to 70% of soothing green light to pass through to your eyes.

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!!

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.
