Dr. Ray Hutchinson in Encinitas is a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry and a 1980 UC Berkeley School of Optometry graduate who established Pacific View Eyecare Center in 1982 on Encinitas Boulevard. The practice's UV-exposure and photokeratitis protocols for coastal residents connect to the broader sun-damage prevention network that includes West Dermatology Encinitas for periorbital skin screening. He authored the book Computer Eye Stress and developed the AcuityMax visual acuity chart, specializing in the effects of video display terminals on visual performance and digital eye strain management. Bifocal contact lens research and specialty lens fitting round out the clinical program, with primary care coordination through providers such as Gemini Primary Care for systemic conditions affecting vision. Corneal topography mapping and Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) orthokeratology fitting provide non-surgical myopia control through overnight rigid gas-permeable lens wear.
