Our Practice in Carlsbad

It is our great pleasure to welcome Dr. Vanessa Kashak to our office! Dr. Kashak’s dreams of being an eye doctor started when she was 2 years old! She has now been a clinical family optometrist for 13 years. After graduating from UC Riverside and Southern College of Optometry, she began caring for patients of all ages in Riverside, in Menifee, and has recently started here in Carlsbad. She enjoys fitting contact lenses, managing dry eye syndrome, and treating amblyopia (a child’s visual condition that needs to be corrected early to increase their chances of better vision for the rest of their life). Besides loving her career as an Optometrist, Dr. Vanessa enjoys time with her wonderful husband and children, attending the theater, playing golf, and boogie boarding.

When spending time outdoors, Dr. Vanessa ensures that everyone keeps their eyes healthy by wearing a hat and sunglasses, including her very young daughter!

“I enjoy getting to know each of my patients to provide custom solutions with glasses, contact lenses, medications, or surgery that will give the best possible vision!”

Dr. Lisa Vo is a California native receiving her Bachelor of Science in Biology at UCLA.  She obtained her Doctorate of Optometry from SUNY Optometry in Manhattan.  During her academic clinical rotations, she was able to serve diverse populations in Oklahoma, Southern Florida, and New York.  She has since worked in top-rated private practices in New York and DC.  After 13 years practicing on the East Coast, she has returned to San Diego to enjoy the weather with her husband and two toddlers.  She is pleased to offer comprehensive eye exams and specialty contact lens fittings.
