About

Board-certified ophthalmologist Lina Amini, MD serves Chula Vista's Eastlake community through Sharp Rees-Stealy Otay Ranch on East Palomar Street, where she has practiced since 2016. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine with fellowship training in oculoplastic surgery at Duke Eye Center, she manages conditions ranging from cataracts and glaucoma to eyelid reconstruction—integrating with the same Sharp campus primary care network that includes Jorge A. Mota, MD for coordinated diabetic eye disease referrals. Her surgical privileges extend to Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center and Sharp Memorial Hospital, covering phacoemulsification cataract extraction, trabeculectomy, and ptosis repair. Complex cases requiring overnight monitoring or multi-specialty consultation route through Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista on H Street for inpatient ophthalmic care. Cataract procedures employ femtosecond laser-assisted capsulotomy with intraoperative aberrometry-guided IOL selection, targeting residual refractive error within ±0.25 diopters of the postoperative target.
