American Board of Ophthalmology certification across all three staff ophthalmologists anchors Vision Care And Correction, a Scripps Affiliated Medical Group practice on Fourth Avenue near Scripps Mercy Hospital. The group handles cataract surgery, LASIK, LASEK, PRK refractive procedures, and glaucoma management, with surgical privileges at Scripps Mercy and overflow occasionally cross-referred to colleagues at Chris J. Gualtieri, MD, LASIK and Vision Care Center in the same Fourth Avenue medical office building. Two of the practice's ophthalmologists completed residencies at the Naval Medical Center San Diego, including a retired United States Navy captain still on staff. Inpatient consults and emergent eye trauma are coordinated through Hillcrest Medical Center at UC San Diego Health when patients require hospital-level care. The most involved cases pair phacoemulsification cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation and concurrent refractive correction, a multi-stage workflow performed in a Scripps Mercy operating suite.
