Montebello Optometry

Montebello Optometry is an independent small business in the City of Montebello. The clinic describes itself as a Los Angeles eye care practice focused on dry eye disease and myopia management, and it operates from a single location on W Beverly Blvd. Private parking is available behind and beside the building, reached from Beverly Blvd or the alley, and street parking is nearby.

The clinic says each eye exam is a custom-tailored health evaluation. Services include comprehensive eye exams, digital eye strain evaluation, contact lens exams, diabetic eye exams, and evaluation of glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration. Keratoconus is evaluated and treated, LASIK consultations and post-operation checks are offered, and cataract patients receive consultations with referral for surgery when needed. Walk-in emergencies are welcome, and after-hours emergencies are directed to the nearest emergency room. Exams may use dilation drops, which can blur vision for three to four hours and cause some light sensitivity. First-visit patients are asked to bring identification, insurance card, a medication list, current or old glasses, contact lens packaging or prescription, and the name of their contact solution, and a new patient form can be completed online.

Dry eye care is a central focus. Evaluation and treatment can include intense pulsed light with OptiLight, Blephex lid cleaning, thermal pulsation, punctal plugs, meibomian gland probing, Dermodex treatment, Amniograft amniotic membrane treatment, Ziena dry eye glasses, ILux intense pulsed light, and dry eye drops or prescription medications. The clinic says OptiLight is FDA approved and supported by clinical studies. Myopia management includes Ortho-K, a rigid gas-permeable lens worn overnight to temporarily reshape the eye, along with atropine eye drops and multifocal eyeglasses and contact lenses. The clinic says these treatments have proven effective in a number of studies.

Along with eye care, the clinic provides non-surgical skin tightening using TempSure Envi radiofrequency, a heat-based method that the site says prompts the body to produce more natural collagen. According to the site, it is recommended for under-eye bags, facial wrinkles, fine lines, and crow's feet and frown lines. Sessions take roughly 30 to 60 minutes depending on the treated area, and the clinic states there is no downtime. A separate licensed company delivers these treatments, which are carried out by a licensed esthetician. Other offerings include an eyewear boutique, online ordering for contact lenses, and retail of Epionce skin care, Twenty Twenty Beauty makeup, and the Eyes Are The Story line. Most major medical and vision insurance plans are accepted, and out-of-network services are available, with itemized receipts provided so patients can submit claims to their insurers. Patients can pay with cash, checks, debit, several credit cards, or CareCredit.
