Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams assess overall eye health using advanced technology to detect conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. We evaluate visual acuity, screen for systemic diseases, and provide personalized recommendations. These exams ensure early detection of potential issues while maintaining optimal vision correction for patients of all ages.
Dry Eye Treatment
We offer specialized dry eye treatment using LipiFlow and LipiScan technology to diagnose and treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. Our approach combines advanced diagnostics with personalized treatment plans to alleviate symptoms and improve tear production. Patients receive targeted therapies that address the root causes of chronic dry eye conditions.
Scleral Lenses
Custom scleral lenses vault over irregular corneas to provide clear vision for keratoconus and severe dry eye patients. These large-diameter lenses create a stable optical surface while maintaining corneal hydration. Our fitting process uses advanced corneal mapping to ensure optimal comfort and visual acuity for complex cases.
Myopia Management
Our myopia management program features MiSight 1-day contact lenses to slow childhood nearsightedness progression. We combine specialized lenses with regular monitoring to control axial elongation of the eye. This evidence-based approach helps reduce long-term risks associated with high myopia through personalized treatment plans.
Contact Lens Fittings
We provide comprehensive contact lens fittings including specialty options for astigmatism and keratoconus. Our process includes corneal topography, tear film analysis, and trial lens assessments to ensure optimal comfort. Patients receive training on proper insertion, removal, and care techniques for various lens modalities.

This place was absolutely amazing! I had eye allergies for about a month now and if it wasnt the excellent Dr. Chen at this place I would still have it for another month. It turns out theres a shampoo that Im allergic to and that I use, and no doctor asked me about this, other than Dr. Chen. He was kind and respectful, as well as the nurse and front desk. I am very satisfied about this place, and I would be willing to spend at least $1,000 if they asked for it because this small question absolutely changed how my eyes are faring, and there could have been permanent damage if not for them

Having not been for an eye exam since moving out to California three years ago, I decided it was finally time to do so. My boyfriend and his family have been seen by OC Eyecare Optometry for years, and they highly recommended the office to me. Im so glad they did. My visit, from check in to the purchase of my contact lenses, was wonderful. The office staff and Dr. Chen were friendly and informative, and made my visit as easy and stress free as could be. Not only that, but they strictly adhered to the preventive measures necessary during this time, which put me very much at ease. Im very appreciative

I had an eye glass prescription order placed here. Nothing out of the ordinary, basic reading glasses with a blue light filter and their most cheapest frames they had. It took 17 days to get them. Cost for these basic glasses are not competitive as I found out later. Cheaper at other places. On the plus, the staff and doctor I interacted with were friendly.

Dr. Thomas and the staff of the office have been a part of my life for many, many years and they are simply wonderful. My experiences have been great and I do recommend Dr. Thomas - and all the other doctors - to anyone who needs to see an optometry office. I wish all my other appointments would be this pleasant!

I have been with Eyecare Optometry for many years through lasik and cataracts, and many other issues. You provide the best care available and I especially appreciate your fitting me in for my last appointment. Even though you are not covered under my insurance, your standard eye exam allows to get me eyes cared for at a very reasonable cost, and with the assurance I will get a good exam and the right prescription. Special thanks to Dr Thomas and all of your staff.
