Bo An Optometry

Called to confirm my eligibility for an eye exam through my insurance and made an appointment for the same morning. The gentleman who performed my pre-​test was gentle and had good customer service. Dr. Pham gave me an eye exam. At first, she didn’t seem to be a «get to know you» type but she is a warm person overall. The exam was quick and thorough. Will be returning for future eye exams.

Came in as a walk in today. It seemed busy but I only needed to wait 10 minutes max before seeing the optometrist. The optometrist was through and answered all questions. The guy that helped me out was very nice and professional. This place has lots of korean staff and clients, and unlike most Korean places that treat you like second class if you’re not Korean, I was treated equally and received the same respect, assistance, and attention as Korean clients.
They had a lot of great frames to choose from. They had a section of frams imported from Korea that were affordable. A big plus is that these frames cater to Asian nose bridges, which I was grateful for. They also had name brands but I wasn’t too interested since I wanted something affordable.
Definitely would recommend this place to all my friends and family. Give them a shot if you’re looking to get an eye exam and a cute/​stylish pair of glasses.

Been coming here forever and there is no better place to get glasses. Their frame selection is amazing! They have lots of well known designer brands as well as some brands I never knew existed with affordable trendy options. My recent frames were all a little too big for my face since I’ve moved to Northern California but given the selection and designers it was my best bet. This place had a Korean brand that fits better on Asian faces. Doesn’t slide down my nose and fits my face well. It also is hard to break and flexible. It’s called eSpoir and I’m in love! Will definitely make the once a year trip to this place!

If you’ve read my other reviews, you know that they’re pretty scathing.
I have nothing but praise for this business. The prescription is spot on. The frames and lenses are awesome. The price is reasonable, even for digital trifocal lens.
If I need my frame adjusted, there’s no problem. The service is timely and friendly. They’ll always take the time to explain everything to you.
In short, don’t go anywhere else for eye exams, prescriptions, or glasses.

I was a walk in and was seen right away. The exam was quick and and everyone was very friendly. It took awhile for me to pick frames I liked but the guy was very helpful suggesting certain frames that would flatter my face shape. Told me to come back in 30 min and I got my glasses! Maybe spent an hour there from start to finish!

You complete me. Yes, Bo An you do.
Where do I begin? You give me perfect vision. Be it with my timeless Oliver People’s eye wear or my contacts, no matter what the scenario I’m 100% because of you.
Tip: Purchase the premium lens. It comes with a lens replacement assurance. I’m not entirely sure of the details because Bo An handled it all for me. Thanks Ben, again. (Yes, I had to have it replaced twice now). I never leave my glasses in my car anymore and I carry my case with me everywhere.

Pro: a big selection of glasses to choose from. Work is completed fairly quickly if you don’t arrive during peak hours
.
Cons: glasses can be extremely overpriced. They will work you to maximize their claim with your insurance carrier. Will post my itemized insurance bill once received to reflect how much they benefited above the already inflated cost of the frames.
Tip: to minimize your out of pocket expense. Go there get your exam and pick out your glasses. Google the frame you picked for a price lower than or closer to your frame allotment through your insurance.
Example: Rayban prices were doubled here but if you purchase it online it is half their retail price and falls under your insurance limit. Most insurance carriers like vsp have a reimbursement claim form if you buy the frame outside of the vsp provider network. You now got frames that they sell for 180 dollars for free instead of the store charging you the excess difference from your frame coverage and the inflated retail price.

Ben is simply the best! I recently got new glasses here which was actually a really long process since I’m extremely particular and because my prescription is so high, it’s hard to find suitable frames. Ben was incredibly patient and helpful. He was knowledgable and able to tell me which frames would work with my prescription and which ones wouldn’t. He was also very honest in telling me which went well with my face shape. No one at Bo An tried to sell me on anything that I didn’t need.
I couldn’t be happier with the service that I received here. If you end up coming here, look for Ben! He’s so personable and overall so great! Ahah! Look at me fangirl-​ing! Hahaha!

I found this place when i was looking for a place through my insurance. It was a saturfay and they were the only ones where i can just walk in. I went with my brother and i was worried since it was my first experience. I walked in, katie welcomed us and helped us to find my insurance benefits and help us fill out the application. She took her time in helping us find the right and suitable frame for us. She was very nice and helpful, and the fact that she is not being nice or helping us just to sell us, she was just beng friendly. Our prescriptions were done in one hour, and i went back where i asked for a favor, they claned my old glasses and tightened it for free, and they did the same thing for my brother too. Katie was the best, i would definitely go back, and i recommend this place.

Seriously the best optometry office! In the last ten years, I loved around a lot from Pasadena to Orange County, but I always made the drive to this office. I love the service (Kathy is the best in helping you out), the selection of frames and the professionalism of the optometrists. They’re not pushy at all (like other optometry offices) and just really want the best care for you. I always find the latest trends here and love that they have such a big selection. Not to mention, they have the best prices!

I’ve been coming here for a few years for my annual eye exam. Family owned, friendly, quick and they take my eye insurance. Tons of parking.

Great friendly service. I have been going here for a few years and try a place down the street will not mention there name but was shopping for a better deal in the long run spent more time and money. Great 0lace will not ever go any where else

I love this place! Always affordable! Been here since I was in 2^nd grade! Now in my 20’s and they have great frames to choose from. Also got my first contact lenses here. They’re helpful will give you some advices on how to wear them before going home. I’m going to come here again for my check up soon!

Extremely friendly employees and amazing experience. Came here with my girlfriend, who hates having her eyes touched, and she loved it.

Great service, and huge selection of frames.
I felt very welcomed and everyone was very kind.
They were extremely patient while I took forever to decide on my frames, and they even ordered a pair of frames for me that wasn’t in stock.
Thank you Ben! :)

I used to come here when I didn’t have insurance, now I have it and continue to come here!
They have great customer service and also the best deals!

My favorite place to get glasses in Orange County. They don’t hook it up as much as Optopiks in k-​town but still pretty close if you don’t live or work in LA anymore.
Made an appointment for 4:30pm in the afternoon that same day but arrived around 3pm. You don’t really need an appointment though. Walk-​ins are welcome if you have time to spare. They get pretty busy on the weekends though.
Did an eye exam, fitted for contacts, and got glasses cut all under an hour and a half! I was on my way home by 4:20pm. I was able to use my own frames at no additional charge. The poly carbonate and anti-​reflective look pretty good even with my bad prescription. Love how they have a guy on-​site that makes the lenses who does great work. He even fixed my loose frames last time that no one could fix.
If you’re in the OC; this is the spot for your eyeballs.

Best optometry office in Orange County!
Before I decided on my current pair of spectacles, I visited over 5 other optometry offices in the area and I can confidently say that Bo An – without a speck of a doubt – has the most pleasant, helpful, and honest team of professionals. Bo An makes you feel so comfortable from the moment you walk in, to the fifth time you come back to ask for help. Ben and Kathy are the best! Ask for them. They are very friendly, patient, and helpful.
As you probably have experienced, the vast majority of optometry offices have their frames locked up or behind the counter, so you must actually ask the employee to view each frame. This is a colossal annoyance to me. Bo An, in contrast, has most of their frames openly accessible because the glass doors are not locked, so you will have the freedom to try on frames and spend as much time you need to make your decision without feeling pressure and intrusion (unlike other places that breathe down your neck!). They have a wide collection of brands to fit your budget and style. Bo An will give you time and space you need to make your decision, and they will be there ready to take your questions with helpful and honest answers.
Bo An’s customer service is phenomenal! When I was on my third visit to Bo An because I couldn’t make up my mind on what pair to get, I still wasn’t markedly enthusiastic about the pair of spectacles I was going to buy, but I was going to buy them anyway; it was my third visit to the store already and I needed new glasses ASAP. Although Kathy understood that I was going to purchase the said and selected pair, and I already had used so much of Bo An’s time already, Kathy took the initiative to go in back and sift through the recent deliveries and find an array of other pairs from the backroom that she thought I’d be more interested in than the one I was going to buy! The frames were still all in the original packaging and Kathy would have to put them back into the packaging after I tried them on, but she was so accommodating that she didn’t mind at all. Totally superb customer service! And Ben! Oh let me tell you about Ben. He will tell you honestly if a pair will look good on you or not. He will also tell you if he thinks a certain lens or coating is worth the extra money depending on what you are using your glasses for and your other concerns! Ben won’t try to sell something to you if he doesn’t think you’ll be happy with it, or if he doesn’t personally think it’s worth the investment. In fact, he might even advise spending more! Ask him if you want some honest opinions or technical information on the different lens and coating; he’ll let you know!
To say the least, I am thrilled with my experience here. I really wish I could give them more than 5 stars! Go here for your optometry services.

Came here again to fix my glasses prescription. They got it wrong again.
To explain what happened with my old glasses. I found out why the prescription was so weak. They kept one side the same and increased one side by .25… Btw my glasses prescription was 2 years old. So basically I had paid them $ 120 to do nothing. They rechecked my eyes and they were off by 1.25. They made some bs excuse about they didn’t want my eyes to get too strained… Believable if they weren’t off by 1.25!!! Also my contacts were much sharper so not to I sure what they were talking about.
Anyways this time around everyone was super super friendly talking to be slowly like I was a feral animal. Okay that was an exageration. But maybe they read my review. I’m not too sure. I annoyed the Viet guy optometrist by asking a lot of questions to make sure everything would be correct time. I could see his smile starting to strain. But please just do your job competently that’s all I ask.
Afterwards a lady gave me back my contacts to put back on after the exam. Only to find out she gave me someone else’s contacts, which I noticed after I put in my eyes. LOOOL. But I wasn’t even surprised that happened.
I got my glasses mailed to me so I wouldn’t have to drive there. I had a little bit of fear that my prescription would be of off but I doubted it. Mot again, right?! But surely enough when I first wore my glasses something was wrong. I couldn’t tell what was exactly wrong, but after closing one eye at a time I noticed my left eye is noticibly more blurry than my right eye. Maybe off by .25-.5?
At this point not too sure what to do but sigh… Not even angry. Just resignatied that this is my fate at this optometrist. You win boan you win.

Really surprised with the level of service at this place. Everyone here is genuinely nice! Great selection of glasses from very affordable to the more expensive brands. Came in expecting to wait at least a week for my glasses to be completed. However, right after the exam I was told that it could be finished in 30 minutes. Hell yeah!
I recommend this place to anyone for their glasses needs. Very professional and efficient staff!
