About

Island Eye Specialists in Coronado provides fellowship-trained ophthalmologic surgery and diagnostics at 1317 Ynez Place, Suite A, in 92118, operating as a Scripps-affiliated medical group with four board-certified physicians. The practice evolved from Crown City Eye Center, which opened at the same Ynez Place address in 2006 and rebranded in 2023 to reflect an expanded surgical scope that now includes glaucoma filtration, cataract extraction with premium intraocular lens implantation, and oculoplastic reconstruction — procedures that generate post-operative prescription and contact-lens needs handled by optometrists such as Coronado Family Optometry at 171 C Avenue. The founding physician completed his ophthalmology residency at Naval Medical Center San Diego and a glaucoma fellowship at UCLA's Stein Eye Institute, earning Diplomate status with the American Board of Ophthalmology and membership in the American Glaucoma Society. That Navy medical background runs through the practice's clinical culture on an island shaped by North Island Naval Air Station and the military families who make up a significant share of the 92118 patient population. Referral coordination for complex cases routes through Jenny Wong, MD at SharpCare Coronado and other primary care providers on Prospect Place who manage pre-surgical clearances for the Orange Avenue medical corridor. The surgical suite handles advanced diagnostics including optical coherence tomography, visual field analysis, and fundus photography, supporting same-day evaluation-to-treatment pathways for acute glaucoma and traumatic eye injuries.
