Dr. Shahrokh Dayyani, O.D.

About Dr. Dayyani

Dr. Dayyani earned a Doctor of Optometry more than 30 years ago. After a Bachelor of Science in 1990 and a second at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in 1992, Dr. Dayyani completed the Doctor of Optometry there in 1994 and was licensed in New York the same year.

Two further certifications followed, both in the medical side of eye care: the treatment and management of ocular disease, certified by the International Association of Boards of Examiners in Optometry in 1993, and the treatment and management of glaucoma, from the Southern California College of Optometry in 2002. Dr. Dayyani has held a California license since 2000.

At Modo Optometry that experience goes into comprehensive eye exams for adults and families, contact lens fittings, and the urgent visits where an eye is red, painful, or suddenly seeing differently and someone needs to know what is wrong today.

Areas of Care

Comprehensive Eye Exams

A full exam with prescription, eye health under magnification, and retinal imaging, explained in plain language.

Ocular Disease and Glaucoma

Holds certificates in the treatment and management of ocular disease and of glaucoma. That training is what finds glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal changes early, often before you notice anything, and what decides when a specialist is needed.

Urgent Eye Problems

Red eyes, infections, a scratched eye, or something stuck in the eye, diagnosed and treated the same day where possible, with a direct referral when an ophthalmologist is needed.

Contact Lenses and Glasses

Contact lens fittings and prescriptions for glasses, including for patients who have worn lenses for years and want to know whether their current fit is still right.

Training Explained

What an Ocular Disease Certificate Means

Optometry school teaches the whole eye, but the treatment and management of eye disease is its own discipline: recognizing an infection from an allergy, an inflammation that needs steroid drops from one that does not, and the early signs of conditions that threaten sight. Dr. Dayyani's 1993 certificate is formal training in exactly that, completed alongside the doctoral degree.

Why Glaucoma Training Matters in a Routine Exam

Glaucoma damages the optic nerve slowly and usually without symptoms until vision is already lost, which is why it is found in an exam chair rather than reported by the patient. Finding it means reading the optic nerve, the eye pressure, and the field of vision together, and comparing them over time. Dr. Dayyani's 2002 certificate from the Southern California College of Optometry is training in the treatment and management of glaucoma, on top of the 1993 ocular disease certificate.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been coming here for years, and I definitely recommend it. Friendly, helpful staff. Good docs. Great selection of really fun frames, but mostly on the higher-end price range. They've got a good variety. Free, easy parking. Tons of good other stores and food nearby.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So I’m new to town and just a couple weeks ago I accidentally popped the lenses out my boyfriend’s glasses and wanted help but didn’t know where to go. I popped in assuming I was cooked but then Armin Rafiee helped me out and not only quickly fixed it but re-adjusted the frame to fit snugly again. Top notch service and I felt so much better on the way out. Very nice place and people.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went into Modo Optometry for the first time and had an excellent experience! I was greeted and welcomed immediately even though they were helping other customers. They have a beautiful selection of glasses here. Armin also helped me with repairing my son’s glasses. He was very professional and very kind.
I highly recommend this place!
