About

KDT Optometry in College Area operates as an independent optometric practice inside the Sam's Club at 6336 College Grove Way, San Diego, CA 92115 — no warehouse membership is required for the eye exam. Founded in 2010 by Dr. Khoa D. Truong, OD, the practice separates clinical care from retail eyewear sales entirely: Dr. Truong examines, diagnoses, and prescribes without selling glasses or contacts directly, eliminating the conflict of interest that arises when the prescribing doctor also profits from the product sale. Dr. Truong graduated from UCSD in 1998 with a double major in biology and psychology, earning Magna Cum Laude honors and Phi Beta Kappa distinction before completing his Doctor of Optometry degree at UC Berkeley School of Optometry in 2002. Spinal and postural screenings at Family Connection Chiropractic in College Area address the cervicogenic headaches and upper-back tension that patients frequently report alongside digital eye strain symptoms during their optometric history intake. The exam suite runs retinal imaging, visual field perimetry, and dilation-based fundus evaluation as standard components of the comprehensive visit, with separate fee tiers for glasses-only exams, basic spherical contact lens fittings, and specialty fits covering toric astigmatism, multifocal, monovision, and rigid gas-permeable designs. LASIK co-management cases route to NVision Laser Center under the surgical direction of Dr. Mihir Parikh, MD, with pre-operative topography and wavefront aberrometry performed at the College Grove Way office and post-operative follow-ups scheduled at one day, one week, one month, and three months. Dr. Truong holds active memberships in the American Optometric Association, the California Optometric Association, and the San Diego Optometric Society, and serves on the board of directors for the Asian Culture and Media Alliance. The 92115 ZIP places the office near SDSU, drawing a patient base of graduate students, faculty, and San Carlos commuters who pass through the College Grove shopping corridor. Routine preventive care runs in parallel with the broader primary-care network in the area, and dental practices such as Talmadge Family Dental serve the same College Area households on annual exam cycles. The phoropter station calibrates to 0.25-diopter increments, and the retinal camera captures ultra-widefield images covering 200 degrees of the fundus to document peripheral retinal tears and lattice degeneration that standard 45-degree cameras miss.
