About

Born and raised in San Diego, Dr. Yosuke Yonemasu cofounded LNY Optometry at 1890 Garnet Ave, 92109, in April 2010 alongside his wife and fellow optometrist, Dr. Kristine Pham. Dr. Yonemasu earned his Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering from UCSD in 2001 and his Doctorate of Optometry from UC Berkeley in 2005, bringing a research-oriented perspective to clinical eye care. His fluency in Japanese and Spanish allows him to conduct full exams in three languages, serving a diverse Pacific Beach patient base that includes international residents and military families. The practice sits inside Pacific Plaza II at the intersection of Garnet Ave and Lamont Street, across from the Broken Yolk Restaurant and behind Bruegger's Bagels. Locals grabbing a bite on Garnet before or after their exam sometimes stop at Arslan's Gyros for a quick Mediterranean meal within walking distance. LNY offers comprehensive eye exams for adults and children, contact lens fittings including rigid gas permeable lenses, digital retinal imaging, visual field testing, and LASIK consultation with co-management. A wide selection of designer frames is curated to fit every style and budget, and the practice extends a twenty-five percent discount on glasses to military families, seniors, and students. Insurance plans accepted include Eyemed, VSP, Tricare, United Healthcare Military, Cigna Vision, Metlife Vision, Blue View, MES Vision, Davis Vision, and FEP Blue. After picking up a new pair of frames, patients can unwind with craft brews at SD TapRoom, located nearby along Garnet Ave. Appointments are required, and Saturday hours are available by advance booking for patients whose weekday schedules make midweek visits difficult. With a 4.9-star Google rating across 88 reviews, patients consistently highlight Dr. Yonemasu's detailed explanations, transparent pricing, and the extra time he invests in every consultation.
