Covina Eyecare Optometry

Great staff, huge selection of frames and super awesome doctor. I brought my girlfriends dad here to check for glaucoma. Dr. Edwin Wu was very thorough and explained each test. A lot of the instruments used at his office are brand new technology, and most of them I have never seen at an optometry office. My girlfriend’s dad now has a better understanding of his eyes and even picked up a new pair of Oakleys! Thank you Dr. Wu and the rest of your staff for a wonderful experience.

I had my first visit with Dr Ken today. From the scheduling and help from Gina on the phone to my eye exam with Dr Ken I received an amazing customer experience. Dr Ken was friendly, professional and patient. He explained everything he was doing and graciously helped me when I switched my preference on my prescription. Gina was great on the phone and in person and even readjusted my glasses for a better fit. Overall a wonderful practice I highly recommend.

Service could improve.

This place is great! The optometrist was great and the staff was way friendly and helpful.
Its clean and they have a lot of updated equipment.
They have a great selection of frames as well! Will definitely be recommending this office!

Great customer service. Everyone in the office is profession and kind. Felt the doctor took time with my eye exam. My whole family goes to Dr. Wu.

As a long-​time patient (over 25 years), I drive miles to see Dr. Hom. I’ve moved three times to different counties, but I will never change doctors. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable. Most of all, they have the best selection of frames. I tend to like very unique styles, and the selection never disappoints me. Great atmosphere, too.

I don’t have any experience with optometrists to compare this to, but I loved it!
The people at the desk are friendly and warm. The waiting room is simple, but has a table for kids to color at.
Dr. Wu (the son) is awesome! I haven’t been to an eye doctor in years! He’s very easy to talk to and made it a comfortable exam.
Maria is great too! She helped me go through all the frames and pick out a pair that looked cute. (I took my boyfriend with me for this reason, but he was no help. Lol!) Besides finding out that I have astigmatism, it was a wonderful appointment!

Hello
We had Eye Exam today and Doctors here are Great
The Place also had good collection of Frames .
Thank you doctor

Both hubby & I are needed our prescription updated. We have VSP insurance & I found this place with great reviews. It was nice that they were able to give us same day appointments. We both got our prescriptions and my husband also got a dilation if his eyes which is included in the check up with our insurance. Dr Wu seemed really nice when he did my exam. Because it would be a bit hard to drive after dilation, only my husband got it and Dr Wu said I can go back later free of charge. how nice!
so why only 3 stars? well, I checked with their employee about getting new glasses there. Turned out even with insurance I’d be spending over $ 300 a pair with hi index and transition lenses. so we went to Costco where I’ve gotten cheap glasses before. We ended up spending ~only half of that. but the real reason for the lowered rating is that when hubby got his glasses, he said the prescription seems to be too strong. He can see further but he can no longer read the smaller fonts. he was having trouble reading his cell phone wearing the new glasses. So now we are stuck with the $ 160 glasses which he said he will use for driving but nothing else and he will have to keep on wearing the old glasses. but then the other day when he tried wearing the new glasses just for driving, he said he got dizzy caz his eyes haven’t adjusted to the new prescription. I have a slight suspicion those glasses are just going to be left forgotten.
my prescription from Dr Wu was fine. and I’m guessing if we got the new glasses from them they will be willing to adjust the prescription. but the prescription should really be good wherever we choose to buy glasses.

Nice, felt very comfortable there, and didn’t have to wait long for the doctor. After the exam, as I was choosing a frame for my new glasses, I felt that I was not being pressured to upgrade or add unnecessary features. Very efficient. Will be back for my next eye exam.

Looking for eye exam and called many places but needed appointments for them, my son works as a temp in the mornings so he doesn’t know when he will be available to make appointments. This place said they would take him the appointment would be within 2 hours of my calling. They were so great and fast, we were out the door within 1 hour. Came back with my husband for his exam, now his headaches are gone! Will be back with the rest of my family! Professional, quick, friendly!

Excellent! This was my first time coming and I am so impressed. Dr. Wu was great. He made sure everything was correct and the whole process went smoothly. I strongly recommend if you are looking for a new office to visit, especially if you are not currently satisfied with the doctor you are seeing. You will not be disappointed.

Let me start off by saying I originally went to Kaiser to have my eye exam done. I spent over $ 300.00 in frames. When I received them, I explained to the receptionist and doctor that I could not see. They’re diagnosis: «I have dry eyes», gave me some artificial tears and sent me on my way. Now fast forward another month. Still can’t see, Kaiser tells me I need to get used to the drops. I’m pushed out of my warranty with the glasses, now Kaiser is telling me the best they can do is give me 50% of new glasses. Really?!? Okay, so fast forward a year. I explained to the doctor that I have not been able to see, for the past YEAR. He was very kind and knowledgeable. He performed my eye exam and had found that Kaiser had over prescribed me in one eye, so naturally my entire vision was thrown off and as a result of that: «I can not see the phone that sits on my desk at work. Its very fuzzy. Before, no problem.» After I went to Covina Eyecare, the doctor gave me my presciption I realized something… I COULD SEE!!! I can’t even begin to explain the wonderful feeling that overcame me! I can’t explain how grateful I am to the staff! Thank you! Will definitely be referring you to friends and family!

Super friendly :) I went in because I had a frame that needed the lense to be put in them. Everyone there was super amazing and were able to help me out :) I will definitely recommend this place

Dr Wu is awesome! Didn’t realize how poor my sight was until I came in today. Boy was I in for a surprise. The staff is awesome. Their selection is great and they are really quick to assist you!

I had been avoiding the optometrist for several years. Some people have a thing about dentists, I have a thing about the eye doctor.
I hate that glaucoma test and flashlights in my eyes. Focusing on a finger that goes in and out and around, causing an instant migraine… the worst kind of torture.
But the time came when my glasses were so broken, I had to find an optometrist and get my eyes checked.
I found Dr. Wu on Unilocal and decided to give him a try.
I was able to get an appointment, right away. The staff was very friendly, and prompt.
When I went for my appointment, I began having doubts. The area, coming from certain directions, can seem a little ghetto. But once I arrived, and walked inside the office, it was very clean and bright.
I was pleased to see a large selection of glasses, and not just gross, nerdy ones.
I was seen almost immediately by the younger Dr Wu, who noticed right away that I have a little bit of an eye phobia.
He was very understanding about it, instead of annoyed and disgusted, like most optometrists. He was also very friendly, and was able to determine my prescription quickly. He explained the problems with my eyes in a succinct, thorough way, and asked if I had any questions. (Also, they’ve updated that ghastly glaucoma test, and it’s not bad at all now.)
The assistants in his office were also helpful in trying to help me select glasses. It wasn’t like other offices where they just dump you in a room full of urkel glasses and say, «everything with the blue sticker is covered by your insurance.»
I found a nice frame right away, and was out of there in less than 45 minutes.
Best optometrist/​optometry office I’ve ever been to.

Dr. Wu and his son are both great! Dr. Wu found problems with my daughter’s eyes that her previous Optometrist didn’t find.
The front desk girls are always pretty friendly, and they try to help keep us within our budget with our insurance.

i love dr. wu Ive been going to him for years! hes really helpful and SUPER fast, the only down fall is that the front desk girls are always rude, but worth it, Dr Wu is a great Dr!

Not much to say — It was what a trip to the optometrist should be. I went for a routine exam in September, and I was seen on time, the process was quick, Dr. Wu (elder) was very helpful with all my questions (which I ask a lot of). I picked out some eyeglasses, and was on my way.
When my prescription glasses were ready, they gave me a call, I came in to pick them up and they made sure the glasses fit properly and were comfortable, making the necessary adjustments quickly.
Great experience!

I have been coming to Dr Wu for a decade, he is getting old, but still one of the best! Now his son works here, and he is just as good.
The service here is great, the staff is friendly and both Dr. Wu’s (father and now son) are very helpful and professional. You can ask them any questions, and they will answer, unlike some doctors who rush you out of the office asap. They do offer a wide variety of eyeglasses as well as sunglasses. Even though I live in redondo beach, I still drive all the way back here just to see Dr. Wu. I highly recommend coming here, the doctor is very friendly and does a great job checking your eyes. They accept VSP and eyemed insurance.
