Cataract Surgery & Eye Care
for Rancho Cucamonga Patients
Eye MDs of Inland is the closest UCLA-trained cataract surgery team for many Rancho Cucamonga neighborhoods — our Upland office is only about a 10–15 minute drive from Alta Loma, Etiwanda, and the Victoria Gardens area. From routine eye exams to premium lens implants, your care is handled personally by two board-certified eye surgeons.
Getting to Our Upland Office from Rancho Cucamonga
From most of Rancho Cucamonga, our office at 1298 W 7th Street, Upland is a 5–7 mile trip — usually 10–15 minutes door to door.
- The simple way: take Foothill Boulevard (Historic Route 66) west into Upland, turn left (south) on Mountain Avenue, then right on 7th Street.
- If you’re near the 210: exit at Mountain Avenue and head south; 7th Street comes up before you reach the 10.

Many of our Rancho Cucamonga patients are active adults who want more than “basic” cataract surgery — they want to golf, drive, and read with as little dependence on glasses as possible. That is exactly what our practice is built around: premium cataract surgery with today’s most advanced lens implants, femtosecond laser precision, and an honest, education-first approach to helping you choose the right lens for your lifestyle.
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.
