…Leading Ophthalmology & Retina Focused Care Team in California
As a leading ophthalmology practice serving San Diego and Imperial County, American Eye Associates and California Retina Associates provide advanced medical and surgical solutions for a wide range of eye conditions. These include retinal diseases, corneal disorders, cataracts, and reconstructive oculoplastic procedures.
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.

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.
