Bryan Ma Optometry

Cannot say enough great things about Dr. Ma and his staff!
— Dr. Ma: friendly & personable. Knowledgeable and very detailed; feel like he checks for stuff that other doctors have failed to in past (like whether you’re allergic to your lenses by flipping up your eyelid). Quick, efficient, and respectful of your time… he is great!
— Staff: sorry I should have asked for names each time I was there… but literally every one I have come across has been beyond helpful, warm and very informative. They do things without being asked (like knowing to check your insurance before quoting you on costs, etc.) and always go the extra mile. E.g., eligible for a rebate and they registered it online, sent me the full packet to send with all info pre-​filled, and even numbered the pages for me for added clarity.
Overall office is clean and equipment up to par. They really did think of everything — I am so impressed. Please visit and help keep local businesses thriving!!!

Fantastic Optometrist. Convenient location. Went in for new glasses. My prescription had changed and Dr. Ma was very thorough. His exam was detailed and he explained everything. He found the beginnings of possible glaucoma and referred me to a wonderful ophthalmologist and sent reports to my GP. Great follow through. This is an excellent place to purchase glasses. They have a wide selection and caring front office personnel. I’ve referred all my friends to Dr Ma.

I just picked up my glass and got back my office. Awesome! I have been suffering with eye strain for years so that I could not wear my glasses more than one hour consistently. But as soon as I put my new glasses prescribed by Dr. Ma, I immediately could see the difference with no awkward feeling. It seems that I found right eye glasses for my eyes finally. Wow! I had to get his name much early before I have met many other optometrists, which got me a new set of glasses almost every year. Dr. Ma is so good. No matter where I live in future, I will have him for my eye prescription. I truly know the value of a good doctor. And Dr. Ma is the one. I humbly and truly recommend him to everyone.

It’s taken me awhile to find a good optometrist. Dr. Ma is super detailed and explains EVERYTHING to you which I appreciate so much.
Most other optometrist get you in and get you out and that’s it.
He wants to make sure you understand everything and that what you ordered is something you’re happy with. I don’t mind driving the extra distance to come here.

This review is LONG overdue. I came to him last year because I found that he offered a 50% off discount for students. Lucky for me — I liked him and his staff so much that I will never go anywhere else! He has a customer for life that’s for sure. He is extremely informative, he listens to you, he is personable, and an all around great person. I highly recommend you visit him if you are unhappy with your doctor or are looking for a new optometrist in the area. He is so great that he opened the office 10 minutes early today for me just so I could make it to an appointment that I had an hour later. An eye exam for glasses and contacts is $ 139, but if you are a student it is only $ 69.50. Also, he doesn’t try selling you anything you don’t need which other optometrists try to do. Dr. Ma is the best!

Just a little update. I went in today because my glasses were super loose. I am moving in a few days and wanted to get that taken care of. It turns out there’s a broken spring, and since my glasses are less than a year old, I can get that fixed for free. But the replacement spring won’t be in until after I leave. Gotta just live with broken glasses huh? Nope! Dr. Ma happily said he will send my glasses in to be fixed, and ship them to my new address! One less thing to worry about =)
If that isn’t outstanding customer service I don’t know what is!

it was that time again, time for buttercups eye exam and new contacts. Dr Ma is a client of my family business and I totally believe in patronizing local small businesses when ever possible so that brings me to this review.
My daughter tells me she is on her last pair of contacts and can I get her more… well her prescription was up the following month so I decide to make an appointment early. I called Dr Ma’s office and they were able to get us in the next day.
We arrive at his office and the office assistant is very friendly and greeted us right away. Buttercup was given her preliminary exam with in 5 minutes then taken diretly to the exam room.
Dr Ma came in within 5 minutes gave Buttercup a through exam all the stuff that they are supposed to do and more. Had her try on a pair of contacts and then retested her, adjusted her prescription and and gave her a diferant pair of contacts that were better.
He also gave me a quick check up to see how my Lasik was holding up. (²⁰⁄₂₀) told us it would be about 2 weeks before the contacts arrived, we tried on a few glasses and then went on with our evening.
3 days later I get a call that her contacts are in!!!
Basically Dr Ma is great and I totally recommend him.

Glad to know another great Bryan! If your looking for a great eye doctor, I highly recommend Bryan Ma for anything you need. He is very personable and extremely professional. I went in to his practice having never worn a set of contacts and left feeling like a new man thanks to he and his great staff. I really appreciate the good work and I’ll definitely be back!

Only my second five star rating. Dr. Ma is extremely competent and very service oriented. I am happy to be his new patient. Will recommend him to anybody needing an optometrist. He adjusted my contact prescription and the brand. Very happy with Dr. Ma.

Found this optometrist via Google search. I was very pleased with the customer service and care I received while at this office. I was greeted warmly and offered a beverage while I waited. The office was orderly and clean. When I met with Dr. Ma, he was very cordial and helped walk me through the eye exam process. He took the time to explain my options and was very patient while I took time trying on frames. I would highly recommend this Optometrist to my friends and family.

I’m always wary of non-​restaurant reviews because usually there is some bias to them, you know what I am talking about. So I have decided to write a review that might help wary Unilocalers like me.
Anyways, I haven’t seen an optometrist in 6 years and that was done in a different country, so I was in the market for an optometrist. A friend actually recommended Dr. Ma, but don’t let that fact be a biased as neither of them asked me to write a review.
The place was clean and orderly and quite frankly quaint. The receptionist was quick to say hello and give me the paperwork to fill out. After the paperwork, she took me to a separate room for some pre-​eye work with that machine that blows air into your eyes. She was quite patient with me as my right eye did not want to cooperate. She took me into the doctor’s office which was also clean and organized. Dr. Ma came in shortly after, examined my eyes, and gave me recommendations for my glass lenses. He was very nice and kind and didn’t even condone me on binge watching Netflix for the past couple of days (my eyes were pretty strained when I came in).
Once the exam was over, he took me back to the reception desk so I could pick out some new glasses. I forgot the receptionist’s name, but she was still patient with me when I kept switching back and forth with different glasses. She was light hearted and understood that it was a tough decision. I finally found a pair that I liked but didn’t like the color on the inside so she looked up if there were other color options for me. Luckily for me, there was! So my decision was made.
Now for the pricing, since I am a student I got 50% off of the exam and a 20% off on glasses. Even with those discounts, it was still pricey. She tried to accommodate by giving me more options by downgrading to standard plastic and standard AR, but I decided to stick to the polycarbonate and the better AR. She told me the total and I hesitated, so she gave me the option of splitting the cost and paying the rest when I come in to pick up my glasses in a week and half. That was really nice on my wallet and, not to mention, my stress levels :)
Overall, Dr. Ma and his staff are all nice, patient, and professional.

Loved this place the staff is nice and attentive. The doctor was so patient with my son and after a month of me getting my glasses they called to see if i have any questions. Everything was amazing i would recommend it to anyone looking for great service.

Today was my first time going to Dr. Bryan Ma’s office.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
— Location was easy to find
— Plenty of parking
— Clean, modern, well-​designed office
— Came in at 12pm on a weekday and there was no wait
— Lady sitting at the front desk was friendly and greeted me immediately when I walked in
EYE EXAM:
— Dr. Bryan Ma was very thorough with the eye exam. He took a complete eye history from me and asked me lots of questions regarding how my contacts and glasses were working for me, if I’ve had any vision issues due to my astigmatism, etc. I told him my current contacts didn’t feel comfortable at all times and that my vision at night is somewhat blurry while driving, and he made sure to address these two issues during the exam. Dr. Ma also spent a lot of time determining the correct prescription for me… we did a lot of the «1 or 2? 2 or 3?» thing and at one point he even asked me to try on some trial eyeglasses to make sure that the prescription would not make feel dizzy. I really liked that Dr. Ma took his time and did not rush this exam process.
— Exam room was very clean, modern, and spacious.
— Dr. Ma has some modern, state-​of-​the-​art technology/​equipment that allows him to conduct part of the eye exam without being all up in your personal space. I thought this was really cool! I’m used to old school style exams at my previous optometrist’s office.
— During the eye exam, I asked Dr. Ma several questions regarding laser surgery for my eyes, general vs. brand contact lens solution, Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism vs. other contacts for astigmatism, etc. and Dr. Ma was very knowledgable and provided me helpful answers to all these questions.
SELECTING EYEGLASS FRAMES:
— Dr. Ma’s office carries a wide selection of frames to choose from. I came into the appointment specifically wanting eyeglasses in a «tortoise» color, and Dr. Ma’s office had several tortoise-​colored frames to choose from.
— One of Dr. Ma’s staff members, Evan, helped me pick out my eyeglasses. I told Evan exactly what I wanted and he immediately started grabbing eyeglasses from the display cases for me to try on. Evan was very patient throughout this process and offered me his honest opinion on what frames worked or did not work w/​my face. I ended up selecting some hipster-​ish tortoise-​colored Ray Ban eyeglasses that I’m really excited to wear!
OVERALL:
— I had an overall very positive experience here, and I would definitely recommend Dr. Ma. His office is very clean, modern, and uses state-​of-​the-​art equipment, and Dr. Ma is very professional, knowledgable, friendly, and thorough. Will definitely be coming back.

Dr. Bryan Ma has been my primary eye doctor for over two years and I don’t see myself going to any other offices in the future. He is very thorough, efficient, and friendly. Not only the office is clean and cozy, it has great selection of glasses. I’m due for my annual eye exam, I guess I have to give him a visit soon.

My husband and I thought we would try Dr. Ma’s office because it was close to our house and had good Unilocal ratings. We went down to the office and checked it out.
We found his assistants to be very helpful. They helped us pick out glasses before we even had an appointment. We ended up seeing the Dr. without having to set an appointment. Their customer service was excellent. Dr. Ma was very accommodating and took the time to answer all our questions. We were very impressed overall and would highly recommend him.
Thank You Dr. Ma and staff.

This review is way overdue but very well deserved. I’ve seen Dr. Ma for two years now, once a year for my annual exam and both times have been consistently exceptional. I’ll list bullet points to keep to the point:
–The office is clean and has a very cozy professional atmosphere to it. The equipment always seems clean and new, and never feels dirty or worn. I know this may not be a selling point for too many people either but the office is also nicely lit which may be the reason why the entire place is so easy on the eyes (eh-​eh?) all bad puns aside, it’s a very well kept office.
–Dr Ma and his staff are the sweetest, most patient people! First off, bless his front office people for putting up with my picky self. I must have tried on 15+ different styles and then tried on the same 2 styles countless times just to be sure which one I absolutely loved. Between the «can I try that one one more time?» And «I’m sorry, I know you just put that back, but can I see it again?“s, they not once lost their nerve with me, and for that, I love them. Second, Dr. Ma is soooo nice! He is very welcoming and takes the time to talk to you and explain exactly what he’s doing. It’s the difference between «okay, now look here» and «okay, I know you can see this clearly, but I’m worried it might be a little too strong». He really gives off the impression that he cares and that means a lot when it comes to any professional in which you are entrusting your well being to.
–Lastly, they always get my glasses to me within a couple days. They even made it a point to expedite my frames when I told them about my upcoming vacation! Overall, clean office, amazing staff, and top notch service! See what I’m saying? ;) (okay, I’m done now lol)

Dr. Ma took a last minute appointment from me on a weekday since my glasses decided to spontaneously crack at work. The exam process was pleasant and extremely thorough — the process to find the exact fit in terms of prescription was about 2x longer than most optometrist which is extremely good to see. He was also patient and knowledgeable as I bombarded him with questions. The prices for the exam and frames were very good. Lastly him and his staff went the extra mile by staying late after closing hours to fashion some loaner glasses for me as my eyes are critical for my role at work. I literally recommended him to people via phone as I sat in the office. As someone who has been going to eye doctors for over 20 years I highly recommend Dr. Ma without question!

My story starts about two weeks ago. My last pair of contacts that I’ve been holding on to ripped. I was at work and had no choice but to spend the day wearing them.
Once I was home I looked for my glasses and to see if maybe I had one last pair but I came up with nothing. I decided to Unilocal an optometrist and see what was open. It was already getting late and I didn’t have many options. I found this and two other offices open but they were all far and I wasn’t going to make it. Based on Dr. Bryan Ma’s reviews I decided to call him and try to schedule a Saturday appointment.
Saturday morning I drove myself from Huntington Beach to Orange without contacts or glasses. Dr Ma is great. He was very helpful in answering all my questions and explained my eye needs very well. He gave me a pair of trial contacts and set me up an appointment for the following week. I was skeptical since all optometrists I’ve been too give me my prescription the same day and send me on my way.
I came in for my second appointment after wearing the trials for a week. Wow was I glad I didn’t just take that prescription. I found out in my first appointment that I have a bit of astigmatism in my left eye. All week my vision would go from clear to blurry. I used my eye drops but it seemed to not stop. Dr. Ma made me do a test to see if I am left eye or right eye dominant. Turns out it is my left eye, which is the one with astigmatism. He gave my a new set of contacts and since I was having issues with my eyes at work and dry eyes he gave me a tip on what to do while I’m at work to rest my eyes, since I’m staring at a computer all day, and advised me to use specific drops to keep them moist.
I have an appointment in two weeks and I can’t wait to go back in. This is the best doctor you could possibly see for your eye care needs. I live in Huntington Beach and wouldn’t mind making the drive to Orange, even though there are plenty of other optometrists nearby. I wouldn’t trust anyone else but Dr. Ma, now that I’ve experienced his services. I highly recommend him if you are seeking a smart, professional doctor who truly cares about your eye care needs.

Had to get glasses for my aging eyes. I am so glad I found Dr. Ma, he was very knowledgeable and friendly. Great customer service. Nice office. There were a wide selection of frames to chose from. Found what I liked and got it in a few days.

Having just moved to Orange from Yorba Linda, I was looking for an optometrist close to home and came to Unilocal to check out a couple, and decided to book my appointment with Dr. Bryan Ma. Very glad I did! The office was within a 5 minute drive (easy to find) and very clean.
After a thorough examination, Dr. Ma was able to pinpoint exactly why I had been having issues with my eyesight for the last year. Turns out the glasses I had been wearing were the wrong prescription, and were over– correcting my vision! Dr. Ma took as much time as I needed to get all my questions answered, and to make sure that the next pair of glasses I would wear would be the perfect prescription.
The only reason I didn’t give Dr. Ma’s office 5 stars is because I found the selection of frames to be very limited for someone as fair as I am. The walls were filled great styles — unfortunately, most of them were in dark black or nearly black. However, I eventually found a pair of Dior frames that I really liked.
Great customer service here as well by Dr. Ma! When I called in later to get some clarification on my bill, he called me back personally after I wasn’t able to really understand the «new math» of insurance billing from his front office gal. He was able to answer all of my questions quite satisfactorily.
Also, he was able to get my new glasses made up in just a few day, so that I am able to wear them when I leave for a business trip on Sunday!
I would highly recommend Dr. Ma!
