Cataract Surgery & Eye Care

San Bernardino patients reach Eye MDs of Inland in about 30 minutes on the 10 or 210 west — and many tell us the drive is the easiest part of their care. Two UCLA-trained, board-certified surgeons handle everything personally, from your first exam through cataract surgery, and the entire team speaks Spanish. Se habla español.

We see San Bernardino patients most often for cataract surgery — including second opinions when something about the first recommendation didn’t sit right — and for diabetic retinopathy care. Every consultation is with the surgeon, in English or Spanish, with enough time to actually understand your diagnosis and your lens choices before anything is scheduled.
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.
