ABOUT
A 30-year legacy. A new chapter.
L0•0K Optometric began as a quiet Tustin optometry practice founded by Dr. Thomas Rippner. It grew under the 38-year stewardship of Dr. Cynthia Broady, and today carries forward under Dr. Alexander Elson — with a sharpened focus on specialty eye care and a fully refreshed patient experience.

OUR STORY
From quiet beginnings to a regional specialty practice.
For over three decades, this practice has been the eye doctor for thousands of Orange County families. Patients have walked through our doors as children for their first prescription, returned as parents bringing their own kids, and continued visiting long after the gray hair set in. That continuity — that trust — is the foundation everything else is built on.
In 2016, Dr. Elson joined Dr. Broady. Together they grew the practice's clinical capabilities, adding fellowship-level scleral lens fitting, advanced glaucoma management, and a robust dry eye protocol. When Dr. Broady retired in 2023, Dr. Elson carried the practice forward, joined by Dr. Tanya Ngo — a dry eye specialist who has helped build out our treatment protocols.
In 2026, we became L0•0K Optometric. The new name reflects a sharpened identity — a boutique specialty practice rooted in 30+ years of trusted care. The same doctors. The same standard. A space and brand that finally match the quality of work happening inside.
