Eye Exam Del Mar, the optometry practice of Dr. Janel Mallari, is an eye care center at 1416 Camino Del Mar Suite A, Del Mar, CA 92014, situated inside Alexander Daas Opticians in the heart of the Del Mar village. Dr. Mallari is a San Diego native who grew up in Mira Mesa, earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from San Diego State University, and graduated cum laude with her Doctor of Optometry degree from the Inter-American University of Puerto Rico, School of Optometry. She is a women-owned independent practice — not a franchise or corporate chain — which allows her to spend more time per patient than typical high-volume clinics. Her services include comprehensive eye exams, contact lens fittings with custom training and follow-up, dry eye diagnosis and treatment using advanced diagnostics and in-office therapies, and management of conditions such as infections, inflammation, and allergies. The Del Mar Times featured Dr. Mallari's opening inside Alexander Daas in 2024, noting that the collaboration merges clinical eye health with luxury eyewear under one roof. Patients of Eye Exam Del Mar receive a 20 percent discount on products from Dry Eye Rescue using code MALLARI at checkout. The practice is open seven days a week from 10 AM to 6 PM, a rarity among Del Mar optometry offices. She shares the Camino Del Mar address with Alexander Daas Opticians - Del Mar, where patients can browse curated independent eyewear brands from around the world immediately after their exam.
