Dr. K. Leo Uyeda, Optometrist

I’ve been going to Dr. Uyeda for 20+ years and will keep going back. He’s very gentle with children (I was one when I started going to him). Great selection of eyewear and great prices. His new office is fantastic! Modern equipment and friendly staff.

I’ve been going to Dr. Uyeda for 30 years. Now I bring the whole family as well. I’ve never had a problem. He never pushes me toward one solution (glasses/​contacts/​Lasik) or another. Just good information with quiet competence.

I have been going to Dr. Uyeda for years but after work moved to Irvine, I started going to other doctors near work for convenience. It is after going to other optometrists I realized how wonderful Dr. Uyeda is and I should have driven here for my exams even if it meant driving in traffic to get here from Irvine.
Dr. Uyeda is very patient and very thorough, unlike most optometrists who would try to rush patients out in less than 5 minutes. He checks your eyes from every angle and unlike other doctors, he actually spends time talking and listening to you. He is the only optometrist I have been to who would skillfully remove your contacts for you during exam. I have to admit It freaked me out the first time but after that, it amazes me how he does it! It’s definitely better than me taking the contacts off myself and then trying to get back to the chair when I am blind without the contacts.
Forget optometrists with fancy offices. Your eyes are important and they deserve an eye care professional who cares and that is Dr. Uyeda.

I have been going to Dr. Uyeda for over 20 years. I would not trust anyone else. I agree with a previous review saying do not waste your time w/​discounted optometrists as Dr. Uyeda’s prices are in line with them, plus you get top of the line care. I drive all the way from Huntington Beach because I know I can trust him for excellent optometry. PS — his office just moved about 5 min north on Beach to a really nice and larger space.

I have been going to Dr. K. Leo Uyeda since i was a kid. Even as a kid i felt very comfortable going into his office. He and his staff are very friendly and answer any questions you may have. When i finally decided to try contacts at a younger age, his staff actually helped me put them on that same day! I was about 10 when i first started going into his office for check ups and 12 years later i only come here! I would definitely recommend him!

I’ve been seeing the good doc for over 8 years now and I must say that he is VERY good in every way. So, don’t waste your time at some discount eye care places you see inside Costco or Target. Go to a professional that you can trust for the one part of your body that is VERY important. He is truly a professional!

I had an excellent experience visiting Dr. Uyeda’s office. He is thorough and professional, and a very nice guy. I would definitely recommend visiting Dr. Uyeda for your eyecare needs.

What a fantastic optometrist! There’s no other way to describe Dr. Uyeda but «deft”– everything he does, every movement, every tweak of your eyelid to pop in a contact lens (for a first-​timer) is all done so easily, so practiced– you know he’s been in the business a long time and knows his stuff.
His clinic is small and homey but equipped with everything state-​of-​the-​art (w/​o that overly high-​tech/​clinical feel that makes me nervous about most doctors’ offices). He always takes his time with each patient to ensure you get all the care you need, and schedules a good amount of time for each appointment. He also has a good selection of lenses and powered shades in the store to give you a good selection if you’re looking for glasses, and keeps a variety of contact lens brands in stock.
It’s the most relaxed sort of doctor’s appointment you could go to, but he’s so thorough you know you’ve been well taken care of. I recommend Dr. Uyeda to everyone!
