Del Mar village, since 1979
Trust your vision to experience.
Personal, unhurried eye care in Del Mar, two blocks from the sand.
Comprehensive care with a personal touch
We earn your trust the old fashioned way: with time.
We spend real time with every patient, explain each step of your exam, and use modern technology to diagnose and treat. Dr. Gregory Graham founded the practice in 1979 on that one-to-one approach. Today Dr. Andrew Fasciani and Dr. Amanda Dexter are honored to carry it on, for scheduled visits and emergencies alike.
