Let me start by saying I hadn't been to the optometrist or updated my prescription since middle school, so to say I was nervous coming in after so long is an understatement. Luckily, I found Sunset Optometry through my insurance and was able to book a much needed appointment quickly. Melina, who handled my pre-testing before I met with Dr. Nguyen, was incredibly patient and understanding. She took the time to explain each test and what it was for, which really helped me feel more comfortable. When I met with Dr. Nguyen, she immediately put me at ease. She was thorough and thoughtful while perfecting my prescription, carefully walking me through each option and giving me time when I felt unsure. She also explained my astigmatism in a way that was easy to understand. I had no idea I even had astigmatism before! On top of that, she was able to identify the cause of my eye irritation and recommended eye drops that have been extremely helpful. After my exam, I went back out to choose a pair of glasses, and Melina jumped right in to help again. She spent a good amount of time walking me through different frames, explaining how things like weight and nose pads can make a big difference in comfort. To top it all off, she actually picked out the pair I ended up loving and chose to get! I'm so excited to get my new glasses and incredibly grateful to both Dr. Nguyen and Melina for making the entire experience so comfortable and positive. If you've been putting off an eye exam or feel nervous like I did, this is absolutely the place to go they truly go above and beyond to take care of you and your eyes.
