About

Chula Vista ophthalmologist Duane M. Bryant, M.D. practices at 342 F Street as part of the Castillejos Eye Institute Medical Group, treating cataracts, glaucoma, and ocular trauma in the Third Avenue Village district. Surgical privileges at Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista support inpatient and ambulatory ophthalmic procedures, backed by American Board of Ophthalmology certification earned after a Friedenwald Eye Institute residency completed in 1984. The University of Maryland School of Medicine MD (class of 1980) and subsequent subspecialty training equip the practice for complex anterior- and posterior-segment pathology including retinal detachment, diabetic macular edema, and angle-closure glaucoma. Periorbital skin conditions such as blepharitis, contact dermatitis of the eyelids, and basal-cell carcinoma of the lid margin require dermatologic co-evaluation at West Dermatology Chula Vista when lesion biopsy or Mohs excision precedes oculoplastic reconstruction. Selective laser trabeculoplasty targets the trabecular meshwork with 532-nanometer frequency-doubled Nd:YAG pulses at 0.3-to-1.0 millijoule energy to reduce intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma without incisional tissue disruption.
