My parents both recently started seeing Dr. Lim and had great experiences there so I decided I should go as well.
I just went for the first time yesterday and it was great! Right when I walked in, the two ladies working at the front desk were very accommodating and friendly to me.
Dr. Lim was very nice too and answered all of the questions I had for her. She also recommended a new technology of glasses for me that I’m very excited about! The ladies in the front were very helpful when it came to picking out frames, etc. Very good experience, definitely recommend! They make you feel like family:)

It is very unfortunate that I have to give a one-​star review to what appears to be a five-​star business. However, imagine that you called one week in advance to make an appointment for your first ever visit to your new doctor at 8:30am on a Saturday. When you arrive there on Saturday, and on time, you are told that there was never an appointment for you in the system, and that nothing really can done about it other than a thousand apologies. Very upsetting!
It also seems that I was the first one who came through the door that morning, so whoever else who took my appointment was late! So, why not tell them that their appointment is not in the system?! No matter how much I would like to try to come back here and experience their «professional» service and «family-​like» treatment, I do not think this location will work for me.

The staff was incredible, friendly, and knowledgable. They helped me understand what my insurance would cover and a few different solutions were offered to me. Overall I was extremely satisfied and I will continue to give them my business.

My wife and I just moved to San Clemente from Nevada. My wife’s sunglasses lost a screw so I stopped in to see if they could help. They provided a screw and tightened my sunglasses too. All at no charge ! Very nice people.

Everyone in the office is very kind. Dr Lim was knowledgable and wanted to make sure my needs were meet and I was comfortable. I would highly recommend Seaside Eyecare to all I know in need of an Optometrist. They made sure I was aware of my cost out of pocket before continuing care. Very helpful when making decisions.

Dr Lim is a true professional! She took her time with me to get it right! And their entire staff was just wonderful to work with. Julie, Carly and Shari are all magnificent… Super friendly and customer oriented, we’ve been coming there for years. They all seem to go the extra mile in what I’m sure is a very competitive business and that’s why they are in business for as long as they have been in San Clemente. Buy local folks!

Honestly, the people that work in this office are the nicest that I’ve ever experienced. The customer service is genuine and outstanding. They really go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and taken care of. The doctor educated and so sweet. She will take her time to make sure you get the right perscription, and are properly taken care of. I would highly recommend this Optomotry office to anyone searching for new eye doctor. I wish that all doctors offices were as friendly as this one.

Have been coming here for contacts for 2 years now. I appreciate that Dr Lim takes the time to do a recheck appointment if needed at no extra charge. And she always takes time to really help me find something that works for my tricky eyes. They have never pushed me to buy right away either. They always want me to make sure the new pair works for me first. And that’s the reasons I keep coming back, thank you ladies!

My wife and I recently moved to Southern Orange County and we both needed our eyes examined. About a month ago I was in Halmark store next to Seaside Optometry and noticed that my eyeglasses needed to be tightened. I went next door and they fixed my glasses with no charge. I was particularly impressed by the look of the office and curtesy of the staff. Before I left I picked up one their broshures. I reviewed it with my wife and we decided to make an appointment. The equipment was new and sophisticated. The exam was good and Dr. Lim was very professional.

I come to Dr Lim because I work in the same plaza and i am able to get an appointment quickly, usually the day after I call. She is very warm, sweet, friendly, and knows the human eye very well. I have very bad vision and have problems with one eye in particular and she takes extra care in my exams to make sure my eye condition is not worsening. The girls in the front office are very nice and know what they are doing when it comes to insurance billing. When I place am older for contacts, they arrive within 2 days and they inform me right away. This is a great eye doctor for people who live or work in the capo beach area.

I’ve been going here for years and have found Dr. Lim to be extremely knowledgable and very thorough in the exam. She will take time to explain every aspect of the exam and give you an understandable overview of the health of your eyes. I was pleased to learn that my eyesight was actually slightly improved from my previous visit a couple of years ago. Lindsay was very helpful in helping me find the right frames, and she has a very positive and friendly personality as well. The newly remodeled office looks great!

Every time I visit the office, the staff is awesome and Dr. Lim is amazing!!! She takes her time with each patient and explains everything so you can understand. They have the best selection of frames and will spend a significant amount of time with you to make sure you get the frames that look the best on you. I won’t go anywhere else!!!

I can’t say enough good things about Seaside Eyecare. Huge selection of frames. Insane. You can’t look at them all in one shot. Helpful, patient staff (can you explain my vision benefits to me again? sorry!). The eye exam was more thorough than others, like Dr. Lim really took her time to make sure I had the correct prescription. The entire experience was wonderful and like Jennifer M said, I feel like my vision has improved with my new frames. I will never go anywhere else!
