Why are my eyes always irritated at the beach?

Wind and UV accelerate tear evaporation; an evaluation shows how much is gland function and how much is exposure — both treatable.

How do we get to the office from Venice?

One street: Centinela north to Wilshire, then turn right; it takes about ten minutes on a kind morning.

Do you take my insurance?

We can often use medical insurance in lieu of vision insurance for exams if you did not pay for vision benefits, and we are in network with common vision plans including VSP and EyeMed. Call 310-828-2010 to verify your plan.
