Our Santa Monica Eye Institute

It’s no secret that going to the doctor can be a stressful time for many patients. With this in mind, we have designed our centers to have the look and feel of a relaxing spa rather than a doctor’s office. 

Voted a 2019 “Most Loved” Santa Monica business, our Santa Monica location is most often referred to by our patients as “the living room I wish I had”. 

We pride ourselves in providing all of our patients with the highest level of customer service, world-class doctors, and services for a wide variety of patients.

Decorated in a very “Zen” style, our Santa Monica LASIK center location goes above and beyond to try and make all of our patients feel right at home.

Advanced Technologies available at our Santa Monica Eye Institute:

• Orbscan Corneal Topography System makes a detailed map of the surface of the cornea and provides important information about corneal shape and function, both in health and disease.
• Wavescan technology makes a fingerprint of each patients’ vision and shows the doctor how a patient sees. WaveScan accurately identifies imperfections in the eye and designs a personalized correction plan for each patient. This information is then transferred to the laser that will be used in LASIK and laser eye surgery.
• Humphrey Visual Field is vital diagnostic equipment used for measuring peripheral vision loss due to Glaucoma. It can also show evidence of a possible stroke.
• Optos is high-resolution imaging of the entire back of the eye and all of its components. Optos technology can identify diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinal tears or detachments, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
• Blephex is used to very precisely clean the lid margins (removes debris and scales) for patients suffering from meibomitis, blepharitis, and dry eyes.
