Dr. Richard Simonds

Steven Simpson

Steven Simpson operates an independent optometry practice on State Route 74 in Hemet, serving routine eye exams, contact lens fitting, and general vision care for adults and children. The office carries frames in-house and maintains an optical lab for on-site finishing, so most eyewear orders don't require a second trip or a week-long wait. Insurance acceptance includes standard vision plans, and patients can verify coverage before booking. The practice suits residents who prefer a direct relationship with their optometrist rather than cycling through a chain's rotating staff, families managing multiple prescriptions, and contact lens wearers who need fitting adjustments or trial pairs without scheduling delays. For complex surgical referrals—cataracts, LASIK, advanced dry eye protocols—the optometrist handles the evaluation and coordinates with specialists. Someone living in central or south Hemet on Route 74 has this as an in-route option between other errands; out-of-area patients appreciate not being locked into a mall-based appointment system.
