About

An Illinois College of Optometry graduate practicing in La Mesa's Fletcher Hills area since 1967, Phillip Levy operates the Baltimore Drive office now known as Buitique Optometry alongside Dr. Tina Bui. The practice's diabetic retinopathy screening protocol coordinates with oral-health monitoring from La Mesa dentists including Authentic Dental Designs, where periodontal inflammation serves as an additional systemic marker for the same metabolic-risk population. Specialty contact lens fittings span gas-permeable, astigmatism-correcting, and extended-wear prescriptions, with an emphasis on hard-to-fit patients whose corneal geometry eliminates standard soft-lens options. The in-house lens laboratory produces finished prescription eyeglasses on an accelerated timeline, and glaucoma testing with LASIK co-management consultations generate post-procedural pharmaceutical needs filled through corridor dispensaries including Village Rose Pharmacy. The practice's most technically demanding prescriptions involve multifocal gas-permeable contact lenses for patients with high astigmatism, where custom base-curve and diameter calculations compensate for irregular corneal curvature that eliminates standard soft-toric correction.
