Our Patients Know Best!
AMAZING and BEST Optometrist EVER! After a decade of visiting Dr. Eric White for my annual exams, I cannot say enough about his awesome care and professional service. His state of the art equipment make it worth paying a little extra when needed. He does an excellent job walking you through the eye exam, and even spent the time to describe eye health to my 12 yr old son during my last visit. His assistant that did part of the eye exam was also wonderful, highly recommend them to anyone that's looking for a proactive Optometrist!!

Dr. White and team are the only ones I trust with my eyes! They are so kind and welcoming and make the entire experience enjoyable. I always look forward to my exams with them. I was very pleased when I came with my two year old and they had a couple toys to keep him entertained! If you are looking for outstanding care, look no further!

If you're anything like me, you've probably wondered if reviews are ever really written by actual patients and/or consumers. I am a 30-year-chronic-dry-eye sufferer with an auto-immune disorder known as Sjögren's coupled with Evaporative Dry Eye Syndrome, aka, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. Having these conditions can cause extreme photo-sensitivity, chronically inflamed, red, itchy, painfully-burning dry eyes, in part, due to a blockage of the lipid-producing Meibomian Glands located in both the upper and lower eyelids. I consider myself to be a well-informed, well-read consumer who was specifically seeking a medical practice which offers a fairly new treatment and procedure known as LipiFlow. Because the treatment is not currently covered by health insurance and because I am retired on a fixed income it was imperative that I find a medical practice which offered a bilateral procedure at an affordable price and is the reason why I ended up scheduling an appointment with Complete Family Vision Care of San Diego. From the first moment of contact with the office to schedule my appointment the staff could not have been any more helpful or accommodating. Because I reside an hour away, I was seeking an all-inclusive appointment; exam, consultation and treatment (should it be determined that I was a good candidate). And, in fact, that's precisely what I got. I arrived with an already well-established (almost daily) routine of using moist, warm eye compresses, massage, rewetting drops, eyelid and eyelash scrubs, Omega 3 supplements, and occasionally, the use of a prescription anti-inflammatory medication. Following the LipiFlow Scan which determined the current health (or lack thereof) of my Meibomian glands I met with Dr. Mannnen who honestly could not have been any nicer. It was immediately clear that he was the dry-eye-expert I had been searching for. Dr. Mannen proceeded sharing a wealth of knowledge regarding new options, procedures, and treatments of DES. In addition, he discussed in length some alternative choices in treatment that I was not previously aware of including a new product, Regener-Eyes, a sterile biologic eyedrop made of anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors. Apparently, this ophthalmic solution has been shown to reduce inflammation and help stimulate the ocular surface to heal, repair, and regenerate. I can't begin to say how much I'm looking forward to (hopefully) getting some positive results with Regener-Eyes. For anyone, young or old, who wears contact lenses or uses blue-light emitting electronic/digital devices, whether symptomatic or asymptomatic, I would highly recommend getting a medical assessment (LipiScan) of your Meibomian Glands. Had the LipiFlow procedure been available 30 years ago when I was first diagnosed with chronic dry eye syndrome it's possible that I would have 100% viable healthy glands today. However, with only 75% of my glands still functioning properly, I can see now that this is going to require a lifelong commitment on my part to keeping my eyes healthy and Complete Family Vision Care of San Diego is a great place to start! *****

Sending over my review from Yelp, went there again today and still feel the same way! Thanks Dr White and staff 🙂 Well, the name 'Complete Family Vision Care' is what this practice truly provides; from my youngest children all the way to my 90 yr old grandparents - we all see Dr White! I owe my sons good vision to this man, my boy was incorrectly diagnosed by another provider who said he needed bifocals. This was totally incorrect - I trusted my 'gut' instinct and went for a second opinion from Dr White and he diagnosed my son with juvenile eye disorder (I can not remember the name) that can easily be corrected in a few years with special prescription lenses. It has been a year and his eyes are already better. If I would have listened to the other optometrist and used bifocals for my child, he would have been glasses dependent for life! Not only Dr White, but the entire staff is top notch here. They are very pleasant, helpful and respect your time and do not keep you waiting for ever like other practices can. Another thing I noticed is that there is a very low 'turn over rate' here with the staff. This shows that his employees are happy and it definitely reflects in the way patients are treated 🙂 Dr. White has an enormous amount of experience and explains things in great detail and takes a lot of time with his patients and never 'rushes' through exams. You can really see the passion this kind man has for optometry as a whole; he is a kind soul and my family just loves him! I also would like to mention Dr White is constantly learning all about the 'latest and greatest' in his field. He has the best equipment available and it really shows his integrity, passion and commitment to his practice. He is all about furthering his knowledge to provide the best care possible to his patients. My entire family will be patient's of Dr Whites for life, it does NOT get any better than this folks!

Whole staff from top to bottom was very helpful and patient. Doctor White took the time to answer any questions I had which is hard to find nowadays.

Dr. White has been my optometrist for the past 20+ years. He's not only an extremely knowledgeable specialist, he's an award winning doctor who travels and does guest speaking engagements across the country. I like that he uses the latest technology when performing eye exams. At appointments, he's warm, personable, and always makes patients feel comfortable. I highly recommend him to anyone needing eye care.

Top notch care, customer service, and atmosphere. Highly recommended. I ended up actually getting LASIK and Dr. White was my consultant and took care of me. I learned SO MUCH from the experience and it changed my life forever.

What Makes Complete Family Vision Care Unique
Your child’s prescription seems to get worse all the time? It’s more than an inconvenience. It’s a serious risk to your child’s vision. At Myopia Management Center, we specialize in providing the greater San Diego area with effective, specialized treatment to control the progression of myopia.
In dry eye syndrome, the tear glands that moisturize the eye don’t produce enough tears, or the tears have a chemical composition that causes them to evaporate too quickly. Learn more about causes, treatments and scheduling an appointment for dry eyes.
We offer a wide selection of contact lenses including disposable soft contact, bifocal/multifocal, toric, and colored lenses. Whether you wear daily, weekly or monthly disposables, or conventional (vial) lenses, check out our selection of lenses that fit your needs.
