Ophthalmologist Dr. Jose I. Quiceno at Scripps Clinic in Encinitas has performed over 10,000 intraocular surgeries and more than 3,000 refractive procedures since beginning his ophthalmology practice in 1997. His cataract and laser vision-correction emphasis spans femtosecond-laser-assisted surgery, multifocal intraocular lens implantation, and pterygium excision, a surgical volume that positions his Santa Fe Drive office within the broader Encinitas medical corridor alongside urgent-care referral sources such as UC San Diego Health Express Care for acute ocular trauma. Board-certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, he holds an MD from the University of Caldas Faculty of Medicine and completed his ophthalmology residency at UCSD Medical Center, where he contributed to the early development of the IntraLase femtosecond laser platform for corneal flap creation. Bilingual consultations in English and Spanish serve the diverse Encinitas and Cardiff-by-the-Sea patient base, with post-operative recovery protocols that integrate naturopathic anti-inflammatory support from holistic providers such as Young Medicine. The Scripps Encinitas suite operates Zeiss IOLMaster biometry for axial-length measurement, LenSx femtosecond laser for capsulotomy and lens fragmentation, and intraoperative aberrometry for real-time IOL power verification during cataract extraction.
