I live in LA and drive here to get optometry services because of the quality of care, affordability and skills that these doctors have. Both Dr. Kobayashi and Dr Pennino are both really good at what they do and Christian, who runs the front desk is super accommodating. They have another facility near my home that I go to for regular visits, but this Dana Point location features IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment for dry eye. I have suffered from Meibomian gland dysfunction, styes and blepharitis (nasty as it sounds) for years without a solution. They introduced me to IPL and encouraged me to research what it is and if there were any places closer to me that could do it. I like that they didnt oversell or push it on me. There is ample research on IPL and I now know it works. The places in LA were so much more expensive and I found the staff to be pretty cold. No thank you. I have had so much relief from dry eye after only a couple of sessions. I look at the photos of myself prior to the treatment and I just looked dead in the eyes. I look and feel great now. I trust these people with my eyes and highly recommend it for any optometry services. Its also located in a nice outdoor shopping center that has a killer vegan joint (Eden), a Starbucks and other convenient places to grab a bite or coffee before or after a visit.

I just had my first visit here with Doctor Kobayashi. I am happy to say that the great reviews are deserved. I have found my new eye doctor. She was thorough in testing and evaluating, straight forward and very personable. I look forward to trusting her with my vision.

I love this office. Cristian was SO helpful with me picking out my glasses/sunglasses. I never felt rushed and appreciated his input in choosing. Dr. Irene was very knowledgeable and I really appreciate the new technology this office uses during exams.
