"During medical school I became fascinated with the whole visual process and the technological advancements that were being made in eyecare, and this led me to the field of ophthalmology. I eventually decided to specialize in pediatric ophthalmology because I really enjoy taking care of children and helping correct their vision problems.

"Oftentimes, children are either nervous, anxious or shy prior to their eye exam or surgery, so I provide them with the warmth and friendliness that can ease their fears and make their care a positive experience."

Cataract Surgery

Cataract patients now have an option for excellent near and far vision after cataract surgery! Previously, individuals suffering from cataracts had only a mono-focal lens implant option after surgery. New multifocal IOL technology can now decrease dependence on glasses after surgery and give you a much broader range of vision. If you are seeking IOL lens options in Temecula, one of our qualified and experienced Inland Eye Specialist surgeons to help you see better!
