I’ve had a range of experiences with corrective lenses and finding frames that I like. I truly appreciated Dr. Harlan Wong‘s clinic and assistance from Florinda but his place closed Sept 2025. He suggested Berkeley Optometric Group and I was very pleased that they didn’t give me a hard time about what I’m looking for with progressive lenses — basically to accommodate the same way that Dr. Wong’s clinic was able to. (but another clinic insisted was impossible.) Thankfully, Berkeley Optometric Group worked with me, used quality lenses, and in particular I want to express appreciation for / thanks to Jafin. His help with the segment height was essential. He was very patient as I described what I was looking for. I was also glad they had frames that were functional, simple yet attractive.

we had some problem with using te glasses frames i got there. they were really flimsy and felt cheap and i asked the person at the desk if they could adjust them and they just said its not their problem. i expected them to help because its part of what you pay for. one of the nosepieces fell off the very next day and i had to glue it back on myself. this was definitly the WORST experience i have had with any vision place around here. not coming back and i am telling my freind to skip this one.
I came to Dr. Huong feeling completely defeated by a persistent eye condition. After feeling unheard and dismissed by my other doctor, I randomly booked an appointment here simply because it was the only place that could see me right away. That decision turned out to be a blessing. Dr. Huong is truly one of the most professional, empathetic, and thorough doctors I’ve ever encountered. For the first time in a long time, I felt genuinely cared for. She took her time, listened closely, and worked with me to troubleshoot my condition. I finally left with a solution. I’m incredibly grateful for Dr. Huong and her dedication to her patients. Highly recommend.
I started having sudden flashes of light while visiting Berkeley and called to see if they could check out my retina. They got me in immediately and Dr. Hoang conducted an extremely comprehensive examination of my eyes and retina that lasted over an hour. Gentle, warm, knowledgeable, a clear communicator. Best optometry experience in decades. My highest recommendation.
Had my eye exam here recently since they take VSP. Probably one of the nicest optometrists I've met! Filling out the forms online before the exam was easy, and it seems they have a lot of availability for appointments. They provide sunglasses/shades if you get your eyes dilated.
