I highly recommend Blink Optometry to everyone!“

“My daughter and I both see Dr. Tsang, and she’s been wonderful. My 10-year-old has been using Corneal Refractive Therapy lenses for over two years now, and her vision has remained stable. We’ve had a great experience with both contacts and glasses, and the entire staff is always kind and helpful. We’re very grateful, thank you!“

“Dr. Chen is an exceptional optometrist and one that’s very passionate about what he does and the way he explains everything in detail to you makes you understand and learn at the same time, as well as know what your next steps are. This is not the typical exam and prescription style you would experience elsewhere.
Absolutely recommended! You should experience it yourself to understand.“

“Always a great experience with professional care I can trust. Everyone in the office is always very helpful and friendly.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Saved My Eyes (and My Sanity!) – Gateway Village Optometry, San Clemente

If I could give more than five stars, I would — because Gateway Village Optometry literally rescued me right before the holidays.

Here’s the situation: my 6-year-old son accidentally destroyed my last pair of Ray-Ban prescription glasses (kids + glasses = dangerous combo ?). I was left practically blind, right before Christmas, which is about the worst timing possible. I honestly thought I was doomed to squint through the holidays.

Enter Gateway Village Optometry in San Clemente — absolute lifesavers.

From the moment I walked in, the experience was smooth, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Dr. Rick is on another level — calm, knowledgeable, and clearly someone who knows exactly what he’s doing. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure the prescription was spot-on. You can tell he truly cares about his patients, not just rushing people through appointments.

And I have to give huge credit to Sima and Dalia — these two are absolute gems. Their customer service was top-notch, friendly, patient, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. They treated my situation like it actually mattered (which sadly isn’t always the case elsewhere).

Now here’s the part that still blows my mind:
They managed to get me custom prescription lenses with custom tinting done in just FOUR DAYS — during the Christmas season. I honestly didn’t think that was even possible. Not only did they make it happen, but the quality is perfect. Crystal clear, beautiful tint, and fits my Ray-Ban frames flawlessly.

I walked out seeing clearly again, stress-free, and honestly just super grateful.

This is the kind of place you stick with. I’ll absolutely be relying on Gateway Village Optometry for all my future frames and eye care, no question about it. Professional, fast, friendly, and genuinely caring — everything you want in an optometry office.

Huge thanks again to Dr. Rick, Sima, and Dalia. You guys turned what could’ve been a holiday disaster into an amazing experience. Respect ?

Highly, highly recommended.“

“Wow! Had a delightful experience at European optical. They are experts in their field, fun and customer focused.“

“Dr. Quang Is great! He’s so nice, and always answers my questions. I usually I don’t have many questions because he is thorough and explains things very well. I highly recommend.“

“They did a great job with getting me my eye contacts. AJ and the rest of the staff were very helpful.“

“I cannot express how highly I recommend him. I’ve always had great experiences with my annual vision check as he has always been throughly with his exams and explained everything to me in a clear concise manner. However, I had a recent eye trauma that resulted in vision impairment. First, his office staff went above and beyond to fit me in his schedule in a quick time. Once, I was in the appointment he referred me over to a retina ophthalmologist. He called the ophthalmologist office and i had an appointment with them before I ever left his office. He continued to go above and beyond and after receiving the report called to check on my vision and to see how I was feeling. His office staff is professional and friendly. Dr Onishi genuinely cares for his patients and combined with his outstanding quality of care. I would highly recommend him and his office!“

“Big thanks to Jennifer at Laguna Eyes Optometry. I was in Laguna Beach for a vacation and forgot my contacts. Jennifer was kind enough to help me out and set me up with contacts. So appreciated.“
