Solace Optometry

Ryan R. Evans, OD

Ryan R. Evans, OD operates a private optometry practice on California Oaks Road in Murrieta, handling routine eye exams, contact lens fitting, and basic eyewear selection rather than the high-volume chain model. The scope covers standard preventive care—refraction, glaucoma screening, dry eye management—and surgical co-management for patients referred to specialists for cataract or LASIK procedures. Frame inventory and lens options are managed in-office, with dispensing handled directly rather than routed through a separate location. Patients choosing this practice over the mall optometry chains or big-box retailers typically value the continuity of seeing the same provider across multiple visits and a smaller-clinic pace over appointment-slot efficiency. The practice accepts standard vision plans including VSP and EyeMed, making it accessible for insured patients without the upfront insurance-negotiation friction of a standalone retail frame shop. For straightforward annual exams and contact lens refits, this is the professional alternative to chain-store optometry; for complex specialty care or extensive low-vision work, referrals out are the expected pathway.
