Castillejos Eye Institute in Chula Vista's downtown F Street corridor is a Scripps-affiliated multi-specialty ophthalmology group covering general ophthalmology, glaucoma, retinal disease, cataract surgery, and oculoplastic procedures. Inpatient cataract and retinal cases requiring hospital-grade surgical suites coordinate through Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista on Medical Center Drive, maintaining continuity within the Scripps network for pre-operative clearance and post-surgical recovery monitoring. The physician team includes Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico-trained ophthalmologists board-certified since 1980 alongside optometrists credentialed through Southern California College of Optometry and the San Diego VA ocular disease residency. Periorbital skin lesion evaluations requiring dermatopathology correlation route to West Dermatology Chula Vista for biopsy and Mohs staging before the institute's oculoplastic team proceeds with eyelid reconstruction. Advanced glaucoma management deploys selective laser trabeculoplasty and iStent trabecular micro-bypass implantation to reduce intraocular pressure when maximum topical therapy fails to maintain target readings below 21 mmHg.
