Medical Eye Care
Prompt diagnosis and treatment for eye infections, injuries, redness, irritation, and other urgent eye concerns.
Your eyes can develop problems that require more than a routine vision exam. Whether you're experiencing redness, pain, blurry vision, irritation, flashes and floaters, or an unexpected eye injury, our team is here to help.
At Eyes on LA Optometry, we diagnose and manage a wide variety of eye conditions using advanced diagnostic technology while providing compassionate, personalized care. If specialized treatment is needed, we'll coordinate your care with trusted ophthalmology specialists to ensure the best possible outcome.
Conditions We Treat
Eye Infections
Eye infections can cause redness, discharge, irritation, light sensitivity, and blurred vision. We diagnose bacterial, viral, and other common eye infections and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Red Eyes & Eye Irritation
Persistent redness isn't always "just allergies." We evaluate the underlying cause, including dry eye disease, allergies, inflammation, infection, or other ocular surface conditions.
Dry Eye Disease
Dry eye is one of the most common causes of burning, tearing, fluctuating vision, and eye discomfort. We offer personalized treatment plans, including advanced therapies for long-term relief.

Eye Allergies
Seasonal and environmental allergies can cause itchy, watery, red eyes. We help identify the cause and recommend treatments to keep your eyes comfortable throughout the year.
Flashes & Floaters
Sudden flashes of light, new floaters, or a curtain over your vision should never be ignored. We perform thorough dilated retinal evaluations to determine whether urgent treatment is needed.
Foreign Body Removal
Dust, metal, wood, eyelashes, and other foreign objects can become trapped in the eye and cause pain or irritation. We carefully remove superficial foreign bodies and evaluate the eye for any additional injury.
Corneal Abrasions
Scratches on the surface of the eye can be painful and affect your vision. Prompt treatment helps relieve discomfort while reducing the risk of infection.
Pterygium & Pinguecula
Growths on the surface of the eye can become irritated or affect vision over time. We evaluate these conditions, recommend treatment options, and monitor them for changes.
Styes & Eyelid Conditions
Swollen eyelids, styes, and other eyelid conditions can often be treated with conservative care and, when necessary, prescription medications.
