Optima Optometry

Feb 2026

Optima Optometry has been my go-to for years, and Dr. Helena Huyen P. Nguyen is fantastic. She’s friendly, thorough, and clearly focused on your eye health, not selling extras. The office has excellent equipment (including retinal imaging that other places often charge extra for), and the staff is always welcoming with zero pressure. They’re reservation-only now, which I actually prefer because appointments feel organized and attentive. Best optometry experience I’ve had in the Bay Area.

10 Stars! This was my first time using Optima. My prior experience getting eye glasses started many years ago with a highly recommended optometrist in Mt. View, then Costco in Mt. View, and I can say that the difference between them and Optima is night vs day. Reason: Optima is not a hurry-up production shop. They take the time to do a very thorough and detailed examination combined with what others have noted--Dr. Helena Nguyen is incredibly skilled and talented optometrist. And that became evident the first time I tried-on my new eye glasses: No blurriness and "Wow! Everything is now is sharp focus!" Totally satisfied! Give them consideration. Don't mess around with anyone else.

Rude front staff. Doctor is thorough and explained everything. But the staff is not only rude, but hard to comment with. Their behavior and language was as though only the doctor's time was valuable and mine wasn't. Not going back here unless they hire new staff!!!
