Why Pomona Patients Choose Eye MDs of Inland

Two things bring Pomona patients to us most: cataracts that have started to interfere with driving and reading, and diabetic retinopathy screening. Both are conditions where early, unhurried evaluation protects vision — and where being able to talk with your surgeon in Spanish, without an interpreter in the middle, makes the medicine better.

Glaucoma deserves its own specialist: diagnosis and treatment are provided through Inland Glaucoma Center, our dedicated glaucoma division in the same Upland building, led by a UCLA fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist.

The Surgeons You’ll See

Dr. Marc Shomer, MD, PhD is a board-certified ophthalmologist and cataract surgery specialist who completed his residency at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA and serves as an Adjunct Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, where he teaches cataract surgery to the next generation of eye surgeons. Dr. Robert Gunzenhauser, MD is a board-certified ophthalmologist and UCLA fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist who performs both standard and premium cataract surgery. Both physicians see every patient personally at our single-site, physician-owned practice — and both doctors and our entire staff speak Spanish (se habla español).
