Maedi M. Bartolacci, OD brings pediatric optometry expertise to Chula Vista through Sharp Rees-Stealy Otay Ranch, drawing on clinical training that includes Canadian Orthoptic Council certification earned in 2004 and an Ophthalmic Medical Technologist credential from JCAHPO. Before completing her Doctor of Optometry degree at Southern California College of Optometry in 2012, she coordinated the Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group (PEDIG) trials at UC Davis Medical Center—research-level experience that complements the family healthcare corridor along Eastlake Parkway, where practices such as Eastlake Family Dentistry serve the same school-age patient population. Her scope covers amblyopia management, strabismus monitoring, and myopia control strategies including orthokeratology lens fitting for children. Young athletes from the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center undergoing sports-vision evaluations may also coordinate with providers such as Sports Performance Physical Therapy - Chula Vista for visual-motor integration assessments tied to concussion return-to-play protocols. Pediatric examination protocols incorporate retinoscopy under cycloplegia with 1% cyclopentolate, stereo acuity testing via Randot plates, and accommodative facility measurements to identify latent hyperopia in pre-literate patients.
