Questions
What's the difference between a vision screening and comprehensive eye exam?
A vision screening only checks distance vision, while comprehensive exams evaluate overall eye health, detect diseases, and assess systemic health indicators through advanced diagnostic testing.
How often should children have eye exams?
Children should have exams at 6 months, 3 years, before school, and annually thereafter. Early detection prevents learning-related vision problems and developmental issues.
Do you handle eye emergencies?
While we're not an emergency room, we prioritize urgent eye issues like sudden vision changes, infections, or injuries during regular business hours.
What insurance plans do you accept?
We accept most major vision insurance plans including VSP, EyeMed, and Medicare. Contact us directly to verify your specific coverage details.
How do you manage chronic dry eye?
Our treatment combines advanced diagnostics with personalized plans including prescription medications, specialty lenses, and lifestyle modifications for long-term relief.

I like the personalized attention. I have been going to this office for about 15 years maybe more. Elena at front desk is always pleasant, helpful and professional. Dr. Mascareno is thorough and very professional as well.

They were great prior to covid, now they are overly complicated with picking up glasses. They never return voicemails/calls. They give you eta of 2 weeks on glasses and once the two weeks are up and you call you can never reach them. I've left several messages and have yet to get back to me. Simply waiting to get glasses I paid for and will be taking my services elsewhere.

Absolutely recommend doing your business here, we're talking about your vision you cannot settle for just anyone when it comes to your eyes. Nice atmosphere very clean location and I had a wonderful experience all thanks to the staff being very knowledgeable toward my needs. Did I mention the inventory of brand name frames with so many different styles to choose from there's no way you'll fail if you did your business here you know that saying "look good feel good do good"

Great service and great care are hard to find. But sometimes, you hit the jackpot! And when you do, don't let it go. The care that Dr. Mascareno and his team give their patients is priceless. Thank you doctor for taking the time explaining my conditions to me in a way I can understand. I can clearly see ;-) why you and your staff are the best. I will tell everybody to come see you.

Eastlake Vision Center Optometry is the best vision center I've yet to visit. They go to great lengths to protect their staff and the customer in these uncertain times. The staff is incredibly nice, helpful, and patient. The exam itself was smooth and fast with no waiting. It's also worth noting that their frame selection is not bad at all. I've needed glasses for a long time now and this is without doubt the best vision center I've ever attended.

Dr. M is amazing. He's funny, he's charismatic and he's REALLY good at what he does. In my first time visit right at the turn of this post covid reopening, his staff has made every opportunity to make the reopening process considerate and thoughtful to the safety of all.
Now, back to Dr. M. His desire to give an accurate look at where someone's vision is at and knowing what to look for was nothing short of pretty amazing. His humor is also a great ice breaker to get through a relatively mundane process. Most importantly, the post exam experience was great! The staff

I would give a 4.5 rating if possible because I wish they had a greater selection of eyeglass frames by Oakley. That being said I did purchase a new set of Oakley frames and lenses. My whole experience at Eastlake Vision Center was very good and Dr Mascareno was personable and professional. After many years of going to Lendcrafters I have made the permanent switch to Eastlake Vision Center.
