LATEST NEWS: We announce our newest frame brands: Juicy Couture (very colorful styles for women) and Hugo Boss (classy styles for men). We also have a great new soft multifocal contact lens in stock (Air Optix Multifocal). Finally, we have begun to use freeform progressives with much success.
If you are looking for a new eye doctor, I invite you to choose our office to provide your eye care. You are welcome whether you are concerned about a specific ocular problem or if you just need a routine eye exam. School-aged children, teens, adults and seniors are all welcome here.
I aim to be the most thorough optometrist and provide the highest quality eye exam in Pasadena. I do my best to answer your questions about eye health, glasses and contact lenses. Since graduation, I have opposed the factory mentality that is so common in optometry and in health care in general. You are not a number in this office; I like to treat each patient as if he or she were a family member. Also we do our very best to keep to the appointment schedule and minimize your time in the waiting room.
Regarding eyeglass purchases at our office: Before I owned this office, I worked in several other offices and chains. My experience was that in many of those offices, when glasses were received from the optical lab, they were dispensed to the patient without being checked for accuracy. This means that in some cases, various parameters may not be correct, which can cause patients to have blur, discomfort, eyestrain or headaches. I want to assure my patients that I personally analyze every pair of glasses upon receipt from the lab and if I find something out of tolerance, those lenses are returned to the lab for a redo.
We fit both simple and hard-to-fit contact lenses, and our eyeglass frames range from affordable ones to designer eyewear and sunglasses.
I advise an eye exam every year or so even if your vision is good, because certain eye diseases (such as glaucoma) sometimes do not have symptoms in the early stages, and it is better to discover the problem before it is too late to treat. Also, I may be able to improve your vision so that various activities in your life (such as computer work or sports) may be easier and more comfortable.
For mild-to-moderate medical conditions (such as dry eye and allergic or bacterial conjunctivitis), I offer treatment including prescriptions for various eyedrops. If I find or suspect any serious eye disease, damage or degeneration (such as significant cataracts, glaucoma or macular degeneration), I will refer you to an excellent local specialist ophthalmologist.
We accept several vision insurance plans, including VSP.
