Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams include visual acuity testing, peripheral vision assessment, and intraocular pressure measurement. Recommended annually, these exams detect vision changes and identify early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration while also screening for systemic health issues such as diabetes and hypertension.
Contact Lens Exams
Specialized contact lens exams determine proper fit and prescription through corneal mapping and trial lens testing. Our practice specializes in fittings for hard-to-fit conditions like astigmatism and keratoconus, providing customized solutions for comfortable, effective vision correction.
LASIK Co-Management
We provide pre-operative screenings and post-operative care for LASIK procedures. Our support includes assessing candidacy through corneal topography and managing recovery to ensure optimal visual outcomes and address any complications following laser vision correction surgery.
Computer Vision Treatment
Our treatment addresses computer vision syndrome through ergonomic assessments and specialized lens prescriptions. We offer blue light filtering lenses and vision therapy techniques to alleviate symptoms like eye strain, dryness, and headaches caused by prolonged digital screen use.
Hard To Fit Contacts
We specialize in fitting rigid gas permeable lenses and scleral lenses for complex conditions like keratoconus and severe dry eyes. These custom-designed contacts maintain proper positioning while providing clear vision and comfort where traditional soft lenses fail.

Update: Dr. Salmasi called me an hour after I posted this review to rectify the situation. She was professional, courtesy and quick. She even made room in her full schedule to see me. She answered all my questions and calmed my anxieties and fears.
Dr. Salmasi will make an truly excellent optometrist one day (she's pretty close already) when she has her own practice.
Dr. Salmasi gets 5 stars.

Report
My optometrist was thorough and professional. Doctors are people too, with opinions. My eye doctor has seen me for 11 years and wrote me as a -5.5 all this time, but for convenience reasons I came here (it's inside Los Feliz Costco). This doctor wrote me as -5.25. OH! Did my eyes get better? Did my restorative face cream fix my eyes? Let's try it. Dr. Yoshimura said it was best since I'm on my computer a lot. Tried it, and due to night time driving, realized I needed to call her back and get my -5.5 back.
Prices worked out great because it's Costco. But you'll be treated
