Excellent staff, comprehensive eye/​contact lenses exams, and a passionate, very knowledgeable eye doctor to boot! I’ve been very satisfied with this optometrist and highly recommend them. I had a hard time with the new trial lenses that were ordered for me, but with Dr. G’s expertise and patience, he was able to find me a brand that fit me better. Super honest too! He helped me further compare brands by looking up the prices for each. Turns out the comfier pair was only $ 1 more per box than the brand that wasn’t settling on my eye! Excellent how well that turned out. Love this new brand as they are so much more comfy than the ones I’ve been using for the past few year! The services here beat Walmart any day! As a side note, their contact lenses exam is a little on the pricey side ($ 120), but it helps to have insurance. :) Either way, I’d say to give them a try despite these possible setbacks.

Had my first appointment with Dr. Guiang on Christmas Eve. Both him and the staff were extremely knowledgable and helpful. Easy visit for myself and my husband. We will continue to come here for any future eye related visits.

I have been here in the past, everyone was nice then, so I decided to schedule an appt for a family member. As of today, they seem too busy to accommodate new customers. I tried to make an appt (over the telephone), no appt’s where available. I mentioned that I will be going to a different optometrist and the lady on the phone /​operator didn’t seem to care or acknowledge anything I was saying.

I went in the other day with my girlfriend to get her glasses fixed. The staff is very accommodating and tended to us immediately. The sales person who helped us was quick nice and very friendly. We decided that from now on we’re going to go here for all her optometry needs.

I came here on a whim. I had just got in my glasses from Costco yesterday and they weren’t adjusted. I was shopping at CVS, and I stumbled upon this gym. The staff is very friendly to fix my glasses without any complaints. They had decently priced glasses and they were all stylish glasses. I think I will be coming back here next time!

Great customer service. Fast, friendly, and affordable ! I got a pair of Marc by Marc Jacobs frame here and it was in great quality.

Went there to fix my eyeglass frame, and it was taken cared of promptly without having to call prior. Excellent service, and was really happy with the service.

I have been a patient of Dr. Guiang’s for several years, and am always impressed with the friendliness and efficiency of his staff. Everyone at Mira Mesa Optometry is happy to work there and aims to please. The service is consistently outstanding!

I have been going to Dr. G for years. I have a very complex prescription and he has always been thorough and honest. There is NO UP selling, they will offer their products to you. After all!!! How else would you know what’s available?

The staff here are the most helpful, kind and compassionate people! My son was hospitalized without glasses or contacts and they gave us a trial pair of lenses to use while they ordered him a new pair of glasses. Then Ivan, the optician, delivered them to the hospital! That’s service! I highly recommend Mira Mesa Optometry. When you’re in the midst of a crisis in life, the real spirit of humanity shows itself and I can honestly say everyone at Mira Mesa Optometry was more than sympathetic to our situation and demonstrated the ultimate in the «kindness of strangers» Thank you!

I’ve been coming here for over 5 years now. Lately I feel that they have been trying to up sell me on my glasses/​Contacts and try to sell me the «expensive» brand of products. Their flexibility is not as great anymore and you have to schedule an appointment out way in advance and they are very pricy even if you have insurance.

First time here and I’m forever going to go here to get my glasses/​eyes checked. Very sweet staff! Clean and friendly environment.

This place is awesome! I went for the first time a couple of days ago and I was impressed! The staff is friendly, the optometrist is very knowledgable and helpful, and they have many frames to choose from. I will definitely be going back!

We went in to get my Husband’s glasses fixed. Mark was very helpful and quick to fix it in less than 5 minutes. I will definitely go back when it is time for my next eye exam and update the review.

I am SO happy to have found a great optometrist! I came in thinking my eye allergy has gotten worse (previous eye doc told me i had eye allergies) come to find out… I did not have eye allergies but Dry eyes instead. Dr. Guiang gave me a sample of different eye drops and some vitamins (Pro Omega) to keep my eyes healthy. Its been a month since my visit and WOW!!! the drops helped me sooooo much! I purchased a bottle of the Pro Omega vits I haven’t had any dry eye problems any longer and I barely have to use the drops bc the vitamins help so much! THANK YOU Dr. Guiang! The staff was very polite and Dr. Guiang was awesome! I had a bunch of questions, he took his time and he answered them all and fully explained. thank you, thank you!

This place is the best! Great doctor, great facility, friendly and helpful staff, and no sales pressure at all.
The doctor offered to dilate my eyes (which is above and beyond) just to check from retina from a previous problem I had in the past.
I won’t go anywhere but here is the future.

Dr. Guiang is a wonderful optometrist! Two of my friends recommended him independently of each other. That was 10 years ago. I still see Dr, Guiang and so does my son. I would recommend him to you as well. If there is a slight concern or if I have any questions, he takes the time to explain things fully and always makes me feel like I am his only patient for the day. And finding a good doctor who actually takes the time to show a genuine concern for his/​her patients can be hard to find these days.
Regarding his staff, they are extremely helpful, they understand insurances & will resolve any issues you might have. I could go on for days how helpful they are. :)
The selection of frames is endless (especially if you wait for their trunk show, twice a year). If they don’t have a particular frame in stock, they can order it for you.

Helpful and upfront about costs. I couldn’t go here though, they wanted to much money.
$ 125 for a torric contact lens exam. Fine. Then they want another $ 70+ for «fitting», so it’d be over $ 200 total. Not used to a «fitting fee.» Never heard of one, never had one in the last 15 years of wearing contact lenses.
Went to Walmart, paid $ 96, got 2 pairs of contacts as well. No «fitting fee», excellent doctor there.
A fitting fee? No.

I came here because I needed an appointment and glasses ASAP. I walked in because it’s close to my house, I told them my situation and they were able to make me an appointment the next morning. The doctor was super nice, knowledgeable and I felt really comfortable. It was the most thorough eye exam, I liked that they explained what each test was for and the doctor explained everything to me and even had an animation to explain my eyes. The office was really nice, clean and everyone was super friendly.
The only thing that wasn’t that great (but it’s not really anyone’s fault) was that they said it would take two weeks to get my glasses but that doesn’t include non-​business days so it actually took closer to three weeks.
I will continue to go here for all my eye care needs.

I’ve been going to MM optometry for years and have seen several of the personnel changes throughout. What hasn’t changed is their sense of professionalism and good customer service. Granted I only come here once a year and have only had a handful of experiences with them. However the staff is very accomodating at times. They often work with me when i’m on my absoluate last pair of contact lenses and hook me up with a trial pair after I order another box with them.
It’s little things like that which will make me a repeat customer.
