Ophthalmology and Optometry Clinic
The UCSF Ophthalmology and Optometry Clinic offers both routine vision care and management of eye diseases.
Our ophthalmology service treats patients with eye conditions including cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, ocular inflammation, macular degeneration and eye injuries, in addition to monitoring eye health in patients with other disorders. We offer treatments such as cataract and lens surgeries and laser eye surgery.
The optometry service performs comprehensive vision exams to assess eye health and vision needs, and provides vision correction with glasses or contact lenses for both pediatric and adult patients. We also provide testing for glaucoma and cataracts.
Coronavirus update
As local concerns increase around coronavirus, the health, safety and wellbeing of our patients remains our top priority. The Department of Ophthalmology is closely monitoring the situation and working with our partners at UCSF Health to provide ongoing eye care. The situation is evolving daily and so are our efforts. For now, non-urgent visits and elective surgery are being postponed. Should you have an urgent eye problem, please contact us at (415) 353-2800. For more information, updates and FAQs, visit UCSF’s Coronavirus Resource Center.
