California optometry license OPT 13876 anchors Dr. Nickolet Boermans's primary eye care chair inside the Eye Care of San Diego Mission Hills office at 3939 Third Avenue. A 2005 graduate of the University of Waterloo School of Optometry, she handles comprehensive exams and disease screening that funnel surgical retina cases to colleagues including Kentaro E. Yamada, M.D. across the same Hillcrest medical corridor. The Mission Hills office is part of a multi-specialty MD/OD group founded in 1985 that pairs optometrists with fellowship-trained ophthalmologists for cataract, cornea, and refractive cases under one roof. She also fits contact lenses and dispenses spectacle prescriptions in-house through the practice optical shop, a different model from the boutique independent eyewear curation run at Urban Optiks Optometry: Gary A. Klein, O.D. on University Avenue. Her chair also covers diabetic retinopathy screenings and glaucoma suspect monitoring, with OCT and visual field testing run inside the 92103 office. Keratoconus contact lens fittings, post-cataract refraction tune-ups, and diabetic dilated exams ahead of vitreoretinal referrals make up the highest-complexity workflow she runs out of the Third Avenue exam lanes.
