Conveniently located in Enderle Center in Tustin, at the corner of 17th Street and the 55 Fwy near the Crab Cooker and Zov's restaurants.

That distinct accent that always keeps our patients guessing belongs to Ninoua, our office manager. Ninoua, also known as Nina, began her career in 2006 in her native New Zealand. It was there that she obtained her Optical Dispensing certification. Love brought her to the United States and eventually to our office.
Annual eye exams are essential to maintaining good ocular health throughout your lifetime. Unfortunately there are many issues in the eye that can go unnoticed until significant damage has occurred. Given that the eye is the only place in the body where we can view live nerves and blood vessels without making an incision, it allows us a unique perspective into the status your overall health.
Dry eye disease affects nearly 23 million Americans each year, and unfortunately, the vast majority of people suffer silently as if dryness is simply a fact of life. There have been many advances in the treatment of dry eye, and many of our patients are experiencing significant relief of their symptoms.
Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT) allows us to view the eye and retina in ways that were never before possible and catch diseases years before they are observable with the microscope.

In order to make this technology available to more than just our patients with known ocular disease, we have put together a screening program that we offer to all of our patients over the age of 40 in order to ensure that each individual layer of your retina is healthy.

I have been to many optometrist. This one is by far the BEST! The doctors are super knowledgeable which is always the most important. What I love though is they stand behind what they sell. I purchased glasses from them, and after two months I found them to be very uncomfortable. They told me to pick a frame of equal or lesser value..or pick something more expensive and pay the difference and they would remake them for me at no charge. Everyone is so friendly, and they will try to up sell you a little...its their job to do that, but when you ask them what you absolutely need they will give it to

I had a really nice experience here. With vision insurance - I was looking for somewhere where i could get the most for my money (for obvious reasons) but I chose Dr Broady because she was very well reviewed on Yelp and elsewhere.
It was easy to get an appointment, they didn't pressure me into buying anything extra, and the updated prescription seems to be working better than ever.
I'd highly recommend seeing Dr Broady if you are in need of an optometrist!

I recently took my 3 year old in for a possible eye infection. Dr. Elson was amazing. He also saw her for her first eye exam a year and a half ago and blew my mind with how extremely patient he is with kids and getting their attention! I definitely recommend!

Best staff in the world that help me pick out the perfect glasses for my face. They are professional and always listen to what I like!

Recently, Jennifer and Carla helped me out with a rad pair of sunglasses.

Nina has been brilliant in consulting my billing plan and my style.

I know they have seen and heard it all, but my puppies destroyed Christian Dior glasses and I lost a great new pair. They are always sympathetic!

Dr. Brody’s office personnel are very thorough, efficient and professional. They have later hours for those who work during office hours and use the latest eye equipment and technologies. They’re also great at running the numbers when it comes to what my insurance will cover.

Dr. Elson was thorough, knowledgeable, friendly during the eye exams for my two kids and I. The staff was professional and answered all our questions about cost. I have been coming here for years and I have always been impressed with the quality of service and care given to all patients. Hands down the best selection of frames as well. I give them an A+.

Dr. Elston is so awesome! He has been very helpful in finding the right contacts that I can wear. He was very knowledgeable about my eye condition and has gone above and beyond in helping me. He has a client for as long as I am in California.

I visited Dr. Elson a few weeks ago and was really impressed by his knowledge and the customer service experience. He took the time to explain my condition to me and was very diligent in finding a great fitting contact. I left his office seeing better than I ever have before. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Dr. Elson went above and beyond with my eight-year-old daughter. Plus, he explained everything patiently to me so I could understand the issues and make an informed decision! Everyone in the office was friendly and patient. Since I found this office based on the yelp reviews, it is only fitting that I review it myself!

The wonderful experience begins the moment you step foot in the door. Dr. Cynthia Broady's practice is clean and beautiful and you are always greeted by the very kind front desk staff. Dr. Broady takes her time with you making sure that she has the very best possible prescription both for your contact lenses and eye glasses. She always offers trials to make sure you are satisfied and truly cares about making sure you have the best sight possible. They also have a very nice selection of glasses on hand. I highly recommend this place.

It had been many years since I had been to the eye doctor. I feared I would receive harsh words from the doctor. I was completely wrong. I was warmly welcomed and treated great by the entire staff. Dr. Elson was great! He put me at ease explained each exam and how everything looked. He was happy to tell me my eyes were in good health. Still just need readers. I will most defiantly make my annual visit.

I have been a patient of Dr. Broady since she started her practice in "Town and Country" Shopping Center" that used to be located across the street from what is now Main Place Mall. I think that she was only about 14 years old when she started her practice, because she now looks like she is in her mid 30's. The math is confusing me a bit since I think that she started her practice around 1985. Of course, I am now an old gray- haired matron walking with a cane and she looks as if she has visited the "Fountain of Youth".

A visit to this office is a wonderful experience

I went to three doctors before coming here to determine what was wrong with my eye. She took the time to really find out what the issue was at the same time very polite and courteous. She offered a cheaper test before running the more expensive which in turn I did not need. Honest! Very clean office with newer equipment and friendly office staff.

Dr. Broady is a class act and I won't be going anywhere else, this is my optometrist for life! The office staff was polite and helpful, I had an eye infection or something I was worried about and they made sure I was seen as quickly as possible. Dr. Broady was amazing, asked the right questions and took amazing care of me, and I was back to work shortly. If you need an optometrist in Orange County this is your place! Thank you SO much Dr. Broady and your staff for taking such great care of me.

Dr. Broady has been our optometrist well over 15 years and there is no one else I could whole heartedly trust with our eyes than here. She is awesome and I would not go to anyone else.
She takes the time for me and the time to make sure my eye examinations are thorough. The staff is terrific with our appointments, glasses preps and overall everything we need.

I loved this clinic. Such friendly and knowledgeable staff. They took time and check each and every problem of my eye. Being new to the area and not sure where to go to get my eyes checked I am so grateful to have been referred to Dr. Broady and would refer others to her in the future.

I was a patient of Dr. Broady's office for years, but after the last pair of glasses they sold me, I will never go back.

For my last purchase, Dr. Broady's team upsold me on an anti-glare coating for my lenses. I paid extra for this after their recommendation, and it ended up being a disaster. As soon as I started wearing my new glasses, I knew something was wrong. If I got a smudge on my lenses, I couldn't clean them. Any skin oil that touched the lenses would cling to them like a magnet; even a cleaning cloth and cleaning solution would just smear the oil around.

This was my first trip to the Optometrist since I was a child. I was uncertain of what to expect, but I was surprised by how quick and how pleasant my experience was!

The woman who greeted me at the reception desk was very warm and friendly. She also helped me pick out frames that fit me and looked best on me at the end of my appointment. She was helpful and honest about what looked good and what didn't. I wish I could remember her name because she was so great!

Dr. Broady was also amazing. I am so thankful that I was referred by my sister to go visit her. She was fast, helpful and made
