We are dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of all eye diseases.
The human eye is the organ of sight closely related to the brain and is best compared to a camera. Like a sophisticated camera, the eye has multiple discrete parts which must function together properly to produce clear vision. The function of the eye is to convert light into an electro-chemical signal, which is then transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve.
Astigmatism is a common eye condition that is corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery. Astigmatism is characterized by unequal curvatures of the cornea. Astigmatism can occur in nearsighted, farsighted persons, or can be found alone, in all cases it results in blurry vision. A person's cornea is spherical in shape amd when light enters the eye, the cornea refracts or bends light creating a clear image of the object.

Was from out of town and was having some issues and they didn’t hesitate to help out. Better and had more customer service than Vision Source and any others eye doctor in town. So blessed and greatful that we crossed their path!

I'm not the type of person to complain but this really got me mad I live 1hr. Away from carlsbad I get to the appointment for them to tell me that my kids cannot be inside because their are to many people, it would have been nice to know they only allow one person, I don't have anyone to watch them, But if I would have been informed when I made the appointment I would have gone somewhere else or made arrangements!

Horrible and just looking to get paid. My wife has been having some kind of eye irritation for many years that bothered her with bright lights, the sun and scratchy eyes. All the Dr said was it was pink eye, we went down the street to another Doctor and they actually diagnosed her with an eye infection. It seemed like this Dr was just guessing to see what the issue was and had no clue so he said "Pink eye". I will never go back here again!

Very unprofessional staff to begin with. I had gotten some glasses with them and they did not work for me. I could not see right at all. I told them about it and said they would try to help after doing tests on my eyes. When the results came back they told me everything was okay. Which didn’t make sense to me since I could not see with the glasses still. I asked them again what was going to happen with the glasses I had purchased with them. They said they couldn’t do anything anymore. Yet I wanted something to be done! Since I had payed over $400 for them in total. I then asked them to please

Dr. Lim is awesome!! Great personality and very professional. Staff was extremely nice and accommodating. I went in with a piece of metal stuck in my eye that had been there for 5 days. Needless to say, I was miserable. Very thankful for all the help recieved!!!

They can look insurance up & see it is current & active but we got turned away from my daughters appointment for not having our insurance card at the visit. They also wouldn't even let me bring the card back later same day for them to scan & put it on file or whatever they "need" it for. 😡 Complete & total inconvenience & waste of my time & gas. I live out of town do you really think I got money to blow & time to waste like that having 5 children?! That also means my daughter gets to struggle even longer to see the board in class & it IS affecting her grades. 😡😔💔 Then the lady behind

First off, I don't ever write reviews for any type of service or provider, especially negative ones, but I have had enough. If you are a cash paying customer, get ready to part with somewhere between $220 (glasses only) and $320 (contacts & glasses) just for the exam, you will be better off scheduling an appointment at Wal-Mart. If you have an emergency and are running late for the appointment, don't expect them to be willing to accommodate your situation or even be empathetic. I would rather drive 40 min to Hobbs to see the only other doctor who accepts my son's insurance than go back to this
