California optometry license OPT 11033T and a 1997 Southern California College of Optometry doctorate place Dr. Pamela A. Hoo on the Shiley Eye Institute faculty roster at UC San Diego Health. She runs optometry exam lanes inside the UCSD Medical Center Hillcrest Eye Clinic at 200 West Arbor Drive, where the Level I Trauma Center setting brings in low-vision and rehabilitation cases that route to community-funded providers including Lions Optometric Vision Clinic for indigent patients. Her clinical work spans comprehensive primary eye care, contact lens fitting, ocular disease co-management, and pediatric optometry rotations through the Abraham Ratner Children's Eye Center. Glaucoma suspects, diabetic retinopathy patients, and uveitis cases pulled from her chair get co-managed with anterior-segment surgeons on the same Hillcrest campus, including Cu-Unjieng Andrew B MD, who handles cataract and corneal procedures across the corridor. Spanish-language consultations expand access for the Mercy Hospital catchment population walking into the Eye Clinic's eight outpatient lanes for urgent ocular complaints. Pediatric strabismus screenings and post-trauma corneal abrasion follow-ups out of the dedicated emergency-department ophthalmology exam room represent the most clinically demanding work she covers across the Hillcrest rotation.
