Board-certified ophthalmologist at Chula Vista's Castillejos Eye Institute, David Castillejos-Rios, MD holds surgical privileges at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, Paradise Valley Hospital, and Scripps Mercy Ambulatory Surgery Center from the F Street office near Third Avenue Village. Ocular trauma cases arriving through Marque Urgent Care with corneal lacerations or hyphema receive same-day ophthalmologic evaluation to determine whether primary repair, anterior chamber washout, or observation monitoring is indicated. The surgical scope covers phacoemulsification cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation, trabeculectomy filtration surgery for medically refractory glaucoma, and intravitreal anti-VEGF injections for wet macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema. Post-operative patients recovering from retinal detachment repair or vitrectomy coordinate balance and spatial orientation rehabilitation through Manual Orthopedic Physical Therapy, Inc. to restore functional mobility during the visual recovery period. Phacoemulsification procedures utilize ultrasonic emulsification frequencies between 28 and 40 kHz to fragment and aspirate the crystalline lens nucleus through a sub-3-millimeter clear corneal incision.
