Holistic Eye Care — Wherever You Are

Mission

Trusted Eye Care, Delivered with Compassion.


Home Optometry is a full-service, primary eye care provider dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for seniors across California. Our mission is to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered, concierge-style eye care directly to where patients live and thrive.

We partner with a wide range of senior care communities—including PACE centers, assisted living facilities, skilled nursing facilities, memory care units, residential care homes, continuing care communities, and retirement communities—to expand access to essential eye health services. By bringing best-in-class eye exams, personalized attention, and compassionate care to each resident, we aim to safeguard vision, support independence, and enrich the daily lives of every patient we serve.

We believe that every person, regardless of age, health, or cognitive status, deserves the ability to see to their fullest potential.


Home Optometry brings the full spectrum of professional eye care directly to your facility, eliminating the logistical stress, safety risks, and personal hardship of outside transportation for your residents. We specialize in serving the unique needs of the long-term care population with advanced portable diagnostic equipment and extensive clinical experience.

Our practice is built on an exclusive private-care model designed to provide the highest standard of patient care and seamless partnership with your facility. This intentional approach allows us to offer:

  • Unrushed, Comprehensive Examinations: Free from the constraints of restrictive insurance networks, we allocate more time per resident for a truly thorough evaluation of vision and ocular health. This is essential for managing age-related conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy..
  • Simplified, Predictable Billing for Facilities: We eliminate administrative complexity by providing one clear, consolidated invoice for services rendered. This streamlines your accounting and budgeting processes with straightforward, transparent billing.
  • Guaranteed, Priority Service: Our partnership is direct and focused. We coordinate schedules with you to ensure timely, reliable visits and prompt follow-up on all doctor recommendations.
  • Enhanced Clinical Autonomy: Our independent, therapeutically licensed optometrists make care recommendations based solely on clinical necessity. This ensures every resident receives the lenses, treatments, and follow-up they need for optimal vision, comfort, and quality of life.

Our Resident Vision Program ensures seamless, high-quality care:

Working in coordination with each resident’s attending physician, we provide a complete clinical evaluation and deliver a clear summary of findings and recommendations. We furnish two copies of the detailed consultation report—one for the facility chart and one for the resident’s file—to ensure flawless care coordination. Should a referral to a specialist be necessary, we connect your team with trusted ophthalmologists from our established network.

By choosing At Home Optometry, you invest in a vision care program that prioritizes resident well-being and operational simplicity for your staff.

Equipment

At Home Optometry, we provide comprehensive, on-site eye care by deploying a fully portable diagnostic suite that replicates the functionality of a traditional exam room. This portability allows us to serve bedbound patients, individuals with limited mobility, and those with cognitive impairment, reducing barriers to essential vision care.

Our approach integrates both time-tested diagnostic techniques and modern advancements in technology. Using retinoscopes, handheld slit lamps, binocular indirect ophthalmoscopes, and rebound tonometers, we perform objective, thorough evaluations of ocular health. These methods enable us to accurately prescribe corrective lenses and diagnose eye conditions—even in patients who may be unable to provide subjective responses.

By combining clinical precision with mobility, we enhance access to high-quality eye care and improve patient outcomes across diverse care settings.

Binocular Indirect Ophthalmoscope (BIO)

We use a binocular indirect ophthalmoscope to obtain a wide, detailed view of the retina and optic nerve. This allows us to detect sight-threatening conditions such as retinal tears, diabetic retinopathy, or glaucoma—even in challenging exam environments.

Handheld Slit Lamp

Our handheld slit lamp provides a close-up, magnified view of the front structures of the eye (cornea, lens, iris, eyelids). This helps us diagnose conditions like cataracts, dry eye, corneal disease, and ocular surface disorders with precision.

Rebound Tonometer

We use a rebound tonometer to measure intraocular pressure (IOP)—a critical factor in detecting and managing glaucoma. Because it works in both upright and supine positions, it’s ideal for patients who are bedbound or have mobility limitations.


Retinoscope

With a retinoscope and skiascopy racks, we objectively measure a patient’s refractive error to determine their glasses prescription. This method is especially valuable for patients who cannot verbally communicate or provide reliable subjective responses.

Manual Lensometer

A portable lensometer lets us measure the current prescription in a patient’s glasses on site. This helps us track prescription changes over time and ensure new lenses are updated accurately.

LEA Charts

Our LEA charts use specially designed symbols and optotypes to test vision in patients who may be nonverbal or cognitively impaired. This allows us to obtain accurate visual acuity feedback from children, seniors, and patients with dementia.

The Importance of Eye Exams for Seniors

As we age, our eyes—like the rest of our body—undergo natural changes. While some vision changes are a normal part of getting older, others may signal more serious eye health issues. That’s why regular eye exams are an essential part of maintaining overall health and quality of life for seniors.
