Very seldom will I ever make a genuine, heartfelt recommendation of a medical practice. This is the one exception. Although I'm quite fond of this quack doctor that fixes my spine, but I don't think he has yelp - or will you ever consider that medical practice. It's more like voodoo magic. But anyway… I can rattle on and on about the esthetics of this place - the sleek style frames they have, the state of the art equipment, the friendly staff. But when it comes to my eyes, when it comes to my families eyes, I trust these wonderful doctors. To be quite frank, I hate going to any medical screenings. I have what you called an invincibility complex - I feel like I'm unstoppable, unflappable, and certainly can see like an eagle. Or so I thought. It could be an ego thing, or a certain mindset thing, I just don't know. So when I first discovered I needed glasses, I was shocked. How could this be I asked. Dr. Mai of course reassured me that everything will be fine. That he's got my back and that just because I'm going to be a dork, life is still going to be good. He was right. And that's the kind of doctors that are here. They will treat you like you are family. Let me repeat - they will treat you like you are family.
Top tier service. Front desk was knowledgeable and making an appointment was a breeze. Big selection of frames and I appreciate that they didn't pressure me in any direction. I'm kind of stuck in my ways, and keeping my old frames for now. But new lenses and coatings are a must, and I got great advice for reducing eye fatigue.
Both docs are super nice, and took time to answer my questions. I liked the videos explaining latest developments in eye health and therapy. I thought optometry was a mature field with little innovation, and was pleasantly proven wrong. Maybe I'll live long enough to enjoy bionic eye implants. Made by Zeiss of course. Team Z for life, take that Leica!
At the ripe age of 26, I realized that I'm getting old. Things that used to be clear, were now blurry if I'm too far away. My brown eyes are slowly giving in to my old age… I decided to finally figure out what was going on by going to see Dr. Lam. My friend recommended me to her, so now I'm recommending Dr. Lam to all my internet friends.
Dr. Lam, simply put, is amazing. She took the time and did several different tests on me to get a thorough understanding of my vision and eyeballs. She listened to all my concerns and past experiences to help me understand my own eyes. I didn't feel rushed or stupid with all my dumb questions. At the end of my appointment, I found out more things about my eyes than I would've known if I were to have gone to another doctor. She also didn't put pressure on me to buy anything. She said I COULD get glasses now, or I could wait later. I decided to get the glasses. They had lots of name brands, and of course, the most expensive ones were the ones that looked the best. Ahhh… the tragedy.
Anyways, I look pretty bomb in my new glasses and the world is a much uglier place when I put them on. If you need a new optometrist, you will NOT regret going to Dr. Lam. She's so sweet, knowledgeable, friendly, patient, understanding, [insert other great things here], etc.

I took my dad to see Dr. Mai and he was amazing as well. They make a really awesome team! Their new office has wifi, great parking, and beautiful decor. What a treat! Also, A+ to the receptionist.
Dr. Mai is great! He is very knowledgeable and will make you and your loved ones feel comfortable and at home.
The office staff is friendly and helpful, and the location is new / freshly updated. Being in the OC, parking was easy.
Highly recommended!
I rarely write reviews for doctors, but having an exam at Insight Vision Center was eye-opening (pun intended)!I was warmly greeted by Jaime, their optician, who first offered me snacks and a drink. Nothing builds trust like food.
I was then led into an exam room with new equipment that none of my previous optometrists had used. They don't skimp on technology here! A few quick tests later, I met Dr. Mai who gave me the most thorough and honest eye exam of my life. He really takes the time to explain everything he's doing so you have a better appreciation for the importance of healthy eyes. I was able to ask questions about my previous eye injuries, get the low down on floaters, and learn the science behind what happens to dilated pupils. #nerdalert
I'd recommend this office to anyone in need of a caring, professional and knowledgable eye doctor!
