As a board-certified ophthalmologist in Encinitas, Frank Scotti, MD holds an MD from the New Jersey College of Medicine and Dentistry and practices through Acuity Eye Group's North County Eye Surgery Associates division at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. His subspecialty in ophthalmic plastic surgery and glaucoma complements the periocular reconstructive referral pathway shared with Coastal Skin & Eye Institute across North County's ophthalmology-dermatology corridor. Cataract and refractive surgical cases draw from across San Diego's North County, with operating access to Scripps suites on Santa Fe Drive near Encinitas Community Park. A past president of the California Academy of Eye Physicians and Surgeons who earned his MD in 1978, Scotti also holds Emeritus Councillor status with the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Comprehensive diabetic retinopathy and hypertensive eye disease screenings connect glaucoma management to the systemic disease coordination provided by integrative practices such as ActiveMed Integrative Health Center along El Camino Real. Highest-complexity procedures include phacoemulsification with premium intraocular lens implantation and selective laser trabeculoplasty for open-angle glaucoma resistant to topical prostaglandin analog therapy.
