A San Diego native, Dr. James J. Peairs practices vitreoretinal ophthalmology in Chula Vista at 835 Third Avenue through American Eye Associates, holding a medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine and board certification in ophthalmology. Patients referred for retinal evaluation after whiplash-associated visual disturbance — including accommodative spasm and convergence insufficiency — often arrive through cervical-spine providers such as Clear Chiropractic, where neck injury co-presents with oculomotor dysfunction. Undergraduate research at Duke University's Eye Center on age-related macular degeneration and uveitis pathophysiology preceded an MSTAR Fellowship for retina research at UCSD and chief residency at George Washington University. Surgical privileges at the Surgery Center of California-Chula Vista, Sharp Memorial Hospital, and Jennifer Moreno VA Medical Center cover the full range of posterior segment procedures. Post-vitrectomy rehabilitation for patients with persistent diplopia or ocular motor deficits coordinates physical therapy interventions, including vergence and saccade training at Sports Performance Physical Therapy - Chula Vista. Fluorescein angiography and OCT angiography map retinal capillary non-perfusion zones at the deep vascular plexus layer, guiding targeted anti-VEGF injection placement for center-involving diabetic macular edema.
