A thorough screening of the retina is a critical part of an eyes exam to verify that your eye is completely healthy. The OptomapUltra-wide Digital Imagining is a quick, comfortable, and painless way to verify that your whole retina is free of disease. We offer this technology to our patients and with it provide early detection of possibly vision threatening problems.

Comprehensive eye examinations will always consist of two parts, a check of your visual abilities and performance followed by a thorough health evaluation. We will evaluate your visual system and prescribe appropriate treatment, whether it be with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery. The health evaluation will check for glaucoma, cataracts, dry-eyes, as well as high blood pressure, diabetes, and other systemic diseases. You will never feel rushed through your visits with us. We always schedule ample time with the doctor so all your personal needs can be identified and properly managed. Patient education is of great importance to us, so all our findings will be thoroughly discussed with you and any questions will be answered. We offer complete eye care for children above 2 and adults.

We not only offer the latest in contact lens material and design, but more importantly in our office we offer the patience and determination necessary for even the most difficult of contact lens fittings.

One of the most common eye related issues, especially in the Los Angeles area, is Dry Eye Syndrome. Most people experience symptoms deficiency such as stinging, burning, redness, grittiness “like there is sand in the eyes”, fluctuating vision and believe it or not even watery eyes. Tear layer deficiency can have many causes such as eyelid diseases, use of certain medications, thyroid disease, hormonal changes in women, aging of the eyes, cold weather, computer use, air conditioned environments and many more. Many people suffer unnecessarily through the discomfort of dry eyes or mistakenly use over the counter drops that only temporarily remove the redness (and usually cause even more problems in the long run). As a part of your comprehensive examination, we check for tear layer for evidence of any deficiencies. For those who need specialized treatment, we can determine the underlying cause and employ a variety of treatments to alleviate their symptoms at our dye eye clinic visits.

At our office, we always explore and inform our patients about their surgical options for vision correction. Based on the patient’s prescription, age, and specific visual needs, Dr. Garibyan may recommend one of the many excellent refractive surgery procedures currently available. We do offer FREE Lasik evaluations. Dr. Garibyan will also evaluate your need for cataract removal as well as cosmetic eyelid or eye-whitening procedures. We have a close working relationship in co-managing your surgical procedures with the best local specialists.

After we have accurately determined your prescription in the examination room, we then move to our optical boutique to carefully select the type of frames and lenses that will serve your needs. We carry a wide variety of fashion and designer eyeglass frames for all ages. We also carry a wide variety of sunglasses, sports goggles, and safety eyewear.

I grew up in the Southern California region, not far from where I currently practice. After graduating from U.C.L.A with honors in biochemistry, I obtained my Doctor of Optometry degree from Southern California College of Optometry and became a TPA certified Optometrist in 2004.I obtained wide clinical experience in general family eye care, difficult contact lens fits, low vision services, and ocular disease management during my training and subsequent work experiences. After obtaining extensive clinical experience in a fast-paced non-profit clinic where I treated over 30 patients a day, in 2007 I transitioned to my current private practice in Burbank. Here, I enjoy practicing in a smaller, more personal atmosphere where I can spend the time to provide you, my patients, with high quality examinations and the unique solutions to your individual vision needs. When I am not at work, I am almost completely monopolized by parenthood. I spend most of my time with my family and my two wonderful kids, 9 year old Sophie and 6 year old Sam. I am very active in my volunteer work at their schools and various activities.

Daphnee is my office manager and optician. After many years of “on the job training”, Daphnee then received her diploma in Optical Dispensing and became a certified optician 4 years ago. She excels in fitting patients with perfect eyewear that will maximize both function and fashion. After we havedetermined your prescription and ocular health in the exam room, she will be the person helping you select eyewear and lens options based on your individual needs. One of Daphnee’s main responsibilities is to remain informed and to educate us all about the latest in the optical field, so you will always be presented with the most technologically advanced options available. She will assure you look great in your glasses but more importantly that you see flawlessly.

Narine is my assistant/technician and is often the first of our friendly staff togreet you when you call us or come in to the office. She works with yourschedule to set up appointments that are convenient for you. When you comein, Narine ensures your visits run smoothly, efficiently, and without a wait.Narine also performs the preliminary testing and reviews your vision correctionhistory before you see the doctor. You will also see Narine helping me when wevolunteer at the community outreach programs such as preschool visionscreenings and health fairs throughout the year.
