Medical Eye Care Services
Dr. Jilber Fouladian is therapeutically board-certified to diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of medical eye conditions. We provide immediate care for injuries, infections, and sudden vision changes, saving you a trip to the ER for non-surgical issues.
Specialist Referral Policy
While Dr. Fouladian treats most medical eye conditions, patient safety is our priority. In cases where treatment requires surgery or falls outside the scope of optometry (such as retinal surgery or advanced neurological issues), Dr. Fouladian will stabilize the patient and immediately refer them to the appropriate sub-specialist (Retina, Oculoplastic, or Neuro-Ophthalmology) for advanced care.
