Allison D. Pierce, OD, FAAO, delivers comprehensive optometric care from the third floor of Sharp Rees-Stealy Santee on Cuyamaca Street, holding Fellow status in the American Academy of Optometry. Systemic conditions detected during dilated fundus exams, including diabetic retinopathy markers, trigger same-day lab requisitions at AFC Urgent Care Santee on Mission Gorge Road when patients present with acute visual disturbances outside standard clinic hours. She graduated with honors from UC Berkeley School of Optometry in 2010 and completed additional clinical rotations at Carlsbad Optometry and Kaiser Permanente before joining Sharp Rees-Stealy in 2020. Her scope includes specialty contact lens fittings for keratoconus and post-surgical corneas, ocular disease management for glaucoma and macular degeneration, and co-management of refractive and cataract surgery patients. Diabetes-related vision screenings coordinated through primary care providers at San Ysidro Health Santee Family Medicine on Town Center Parkway represent a consistent referral pathway into her practice. Advanced diagnostic capabilities include corneal topography mapping, pachymetry for glaucoma risk assessment, and wide-field retinal imaging for peripheral pathology detection.
