A VERY bad and disappointing experience. I scheduled an appointment on May 20, 2026, specifically for prescription sunglasses using my own frame, and that was clearly noted during the appointment. As a result, I assumed the entire order process was being handled as a prescription sunglasses order. I was told the order would be ready within 2–3 weeks and that I would be notified when it arrived. After nearly a month with no update, I had to call the store myself on June 18 to check the status. When I came in to pick up the glasses, I discovered that the order had been made as regular prescription glasses instead of sunglasses. The staff member helping me was new and did not have any information about my order. She asked me to wait another 15 minutes for the manager to return from the lunch. At that point, after weeks of waiting, no communication, and an incorrect order, I decided to leave. I would like to apologize to the staff member if my frustration showed. My frustration was not directed at her personally, but at how this entire situation was handled and the lack of respect for a customer’s time. Perhaps my out-of-pocket cost was only around $10 after insurance, but every customer deserves the same level of attention and service regardless of the order value. Mistakes happen, but the lack of communication, the incorrect order, and the absence of a timely resolution made this a very frustrating experience. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this location.

We've been coming here for eye exam for a few years. We appreciate Dr. Ngo - she's detailed and patient. She doesn't recommend unnecessary treatment and she explains the reasons for symptoms and remedies well. They're also very transparent with insurance and billing. Highly recommended.
Great Dr. who knows her stuff! Honestly the best eye doctor I have had yet. Will be returning every year! Only sad part is about the selection of glasses. There really isn't that much and its expensive. I also learned there are no returns so we will be purchasing from somewhere cheaper. We couldn't return my spouse's pair after the frame was uncomfortable and even with insurance we spent quite a lot. Still, I highly recommend for the doctor!
Been going to Iconic Eyes Optometry for 6+ years and I've never had a bad experience. Staff members like Desiree have always been respectful, attentive, and efficient whenever I arrive at their office. Dr Christine Ngo is very thorough with examinations and gives excellent advice/answers on any questions I may have. Five star rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ in my book.
With $200 glass they did not even give me a proper case to keep my glass protected. Optometrist was more concerned about my blood pressure than eye sight. Not recommended, quality has drastically gone down in past 1-year.
