Low Vision and Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation
Dr. Alisa Molina is a comprehensive optometrist who specializes in low vision rehabilitation. She leads the Low Vision Clinic, which offers cutting-edge tools and technologies for patients whose vision is not correctable with glasses or contact lenses. She works closely with patients who have conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, retinal dystrophies, and other forms of vision loss. Additionally, she is part of the Urgent Eye Care Clinic and cares for patients with eye-related issues such as flashes and floaters, sudden vision loss, pain in or around the eye, sudden double vision, eye infections and injury. She also provides comprehensive eye exams.
Dr. Molina earned her bachelor’s degree in Physiological Sciences from UCLA and her Doctor of Optometry degree from UC Berkeley, where she graduated with honors in research. She then completed a residency in Vision Rehabilitation at Western University College of Optometry, receiving advanced training in low vision and neuro-optometric rehabilitation. Dr. Molina also has several years of research experience focused on retinal diseases and dry eye.
Dr. Molina takes the time to understand each patient’s unique lifestyle, goals, and challenges, developing personalized strategies and recommending tools—from magnifiers and assistive technology to customized visual training—to help patients regain confidence and independence. She is committed to providing evidence-based, patient-centered care that empowers individuals to maximize their functional vision, live as independently as possible, and continue living meaningful lives.
