About

Optometrist at Castillejos Eye Institute in Chula Vista, Dr. Alexandra Scovill holds a Southern California College of Optometry degree and a San Diego State University magna cum laude biology credential, joining the F Street ophthalmology group in 2018 after completing a San Diego VA ocular disease residency. Neuro-optometric rehabilitation cases involving traumatic brain injury or stroke-related visual processing deficits coordinate care with PT in Motion for vestibular and oculomotor retraining exercises that restore binocular function. Elected president of the San Diego Optometric Society in 2021, she provides services in English, Spanish, and French, expanding language access for the F Street corridor's multilingual patient population. Patients presenting with cervicogenic visual disturbance—blurred vision or diplopia triggered by upper-cervical dysfunction—may benefit from concurrent spinal assessment at Ignite Chiropractic to rule out vertebral artery or proprioceptive contributions to their symptoms. Anterior segment evaluations utilize slit-lamp biomicroscopy with cobalt-blue fluorescein excitation to detect corneal epithelial defects, anterior chamber inflammation, and early lens opacification at subclinical stages.
