About

Deanna M. Wong Wan, OD is a UC Berkeley-trained optometrist in Allied Gardens practicing at Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center, 4647 Zion Ave, San Diego 92120. Dr. Wong Wan earned her undergraduate degree in microbiology from UC Berkeley before completing her Doctor of Optometry at Berkeley's School of Optometry in 1996, and she has practiced in San Diego since 1999. Her clinical focus at the Zion campus includes hospital-based geriatric optometry, ocular disease treatment and management, and the use of therapeutic pharmaceuticals for conditions including dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, and anterior segment infections. Patients whose mental health medications produce ocular side effects such as accommodation changes and dry eye can coordinate care with behavioral health providers including Fletcher Therapy in College Area, where medication management discussions account for vision-related impacts. The Kaiser integrated record system at this Allied Gardens facility allows Dr. Wong Wan to cross-reference each patient's full medication list, systemic diagnoses, and lab results during eye examinations. Her geriatric optometry emphasis addresses age-related macular degeneration, cataract progression monitoring, low-vision rehabilitation assessment, and fall-risk evaluation for patients whose declining acuity affects mobility and independence. Patients whose vision loss intersects with balance and mobility rehabilitation connect through the College Area corridor to Euclid Physical Therapy, INC., where gait training and fall-prevention programs account for visual impairment factors. The 92120 ZIP covers Allied Gardens, Grantville, and Del Cerro, and Dr. Wong Wan's Zion Ave schedule serves all three sub-communities from this Kaiser campus near the 8 freeway.
