Welcome to Family Eyecare Center Doctor of Optometry, where the thorough attention we give each patient sets us apart from others in the field. Since 1983, we have been serving the Encinitas/ La Costa/ Carlsbad / Rancho Santa Fe area with the highest level of eye care. Your eye health is of great importance to us! We provide routine eye exams, LASIK, and evaluation for glaucoma and cataracts. Materials include eyeglasses, contacts, and the latest in designer frames.
We also specialize in dry eye treatment including punctal occlusion, amblyopia(lazy eye), foreign body removal and can help you with glasses and contact lenses as well.
At Family Eyecare Center we are more than happy to treat all of our patients – from infants to seasoned adults – and make sure that our patients are cared for like family. From the time you walk through our doors until your visit is over, our dedicated bilingual staff will help you with all of your eyecare needs including choosing the correct frames and lenses to suit your eyewear needs.
