A doctorate in optometric medicine paired with international vision-screening volunteer work in South America defines Dr. Sara Julazadeh's practice inside the Eye Care of San Diego office at 3939 Third Avenue in Mission Hills. Her clinical focus on dry eye disease puts her at the front of the practice diagnostic and therapeutic protocols for chronic ocular surface irritation, working alongside in-house glaucoma surgeons including Kelly S. Keefe, MD, Inc. when patients escalate beyond medication management. She fits specialty contact lenses for irregular corneas, post-surgical eyes, and high-prescription cases that don't tolerate standard soft lenses. Comprehensive eye exams and ocular disease screening fill her appointment book, with diabetic dilated exams and macular OCT imaging built into the workflow. The Mission Hills office shares Eye Care of San Diego's multi-doctor MD/OD model, distinct from the solo-OD format used at Joyce B. Medina, OD, APC where one optometrist handles every appointment from start to finish. Complex dry eye workups combining tear film osmolarity testing, meibography, and scleral lens fitting represent the deepest clinical specialty she runs out of the Third Avenue chair.
