Ophthalmologist - Glaucoma Surgeon

About American Eye Associates

Our story began in 1988, when the practice was founded as California Retina Associates, quickly becoming a respected name in retinal care throughout Southern California. The practice, known for its clinical expertise and dedication to preserving vision, built a strong foundation to fuel decades of growth and innovation.

In 2019, we rebranded as American Eye Associates—a name that better represents the full-spectrum care we now provide. Today, we operate under a dual-brand identity, honoring the strength of our retinal legacy through California Retina Associates while representing our broader ophthalmic expertise under American Eye Associates.

We provide treatment for the full spectrum of ophthalmic needs, including cataracts, retina, glaucoma, cornea, oculoplastic, reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, and refractive surgery.

At American Eye Associates, we’re proud to provide comprehensive medical and surgical eye care to patients across San Diego, Imperial, and Riverside counties. With over 35 years of experience, a growing network of locations, and specialists in retina, glaucoma, cataracts, cornea, oculoplastic, and general vision care, our team helps protect sight and preserves quality of life.

Our physicians are board certified and fellowship-trained by some of the nation’s top programs, supported by highly trained technical and administrative staff. We maintain participation agreements with all major managed care plans, ensuring accessibility for patients across the region.
