About

Howard Alison OD practices optometry at Kaiser Permanente's Bonita Medical Offices on Bonita Road, delivering Vision Essentials eye exams within the Kaiser integrated health system's South Bay campus. A 1987 doctorate from Southern California College of Optometry and a UCSD animal physiology degree ground the clinical approach in both optical physics and biological science, informing the geriatric eye care that residents at Bonita Villa Senior Living require for age-related macular degeneration and cataract monitoring. The Kaiser Bonita campus houses optometry alongside family medicine, radiology, and laboratory services, enabling same-visit coordination between annual eye exams and diabetic or hypertensive workups. Contact lens prescriptions, routine refraction updates, and therapeutic management of glaucoma and anterior-segment disease fall within the practice's full-scope optometric license. Patients receiving in-home supportive care from agencies such as ComForCare Home Care coordinate transportation and appointment scheduling through the Kaiser Bonita campus's centralized intake system for mobility-limited individuals. Dilated fundus exams use binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy with a 20-diopter condensing lens to evaluate the peripheral retina for lattice degeneration, retinal tears, and vitreous traction.
