We are happy to announce we are expanding our hours this week! Both of our locations will be open all week from 10am-3pm! This is the first step to eventually seeing our patient’s on a more regular basis. For now, we will still primarily be seeing those who have a more urgent need. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time of transition!

A Note From Our Doctors

Opticians - Primary Eyecare Center Leave a comment  

To our valued patients:

The past few days have been uncertain and difficult. We hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe. As of earlier this week, we made the difficult decision to suspend non-urgent visits per the recommendation of the CDC, COA, and other agencies.

We continue to closely monitor the situation and will be constantly reassessing and reevaluating on a daily/weekly basis. If you have a scheduled appointment between now and April 30th, we may be contacting you directly to reschedule.

You can call our office or visit our website to learn our hours for the week. We hope to continue to have limited hours for emergency eye care and for picking up necessary products that you may have on order (contacts and glasses).

You can also call us if you are in significant need of contacts, glasses, or need a refill on medications for your eyes and we will try to assist.

Your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated as we all work together to keep our community healthy.

~Dr.’s Tackett, Hider, Immoos, & Ou

Welcome Dr. Jocelyn Ou!

Lauren Tackett, OD 2 Comments

Dr. Jocelyn Ou

We are excited to announce that Dr. Ou has recently joined Primary Eyecare Center. Call to schedule an appointment with her today! Drs. Hider, Immoos and Tackett encourage you to schedule with Dr. Ou whether you are a new or previous patient to our practice. She has an extra year of residency training in cornea and contact lenses and is an expert in fitting all types of contact lenses.

Dr. Ou was born and raised in the Bay Area, and graduated from UC San Diego with a major in Physiology and Neuroscience and a minor in Psychology. She then moved to New York City to earn her Doctor of Optometry degree in 2018 at the State University of New York College of Optometry, graduating with awards recognizing her excellent academic performance and passion for optometry. She then pursued an extra year of residency education at the Southern California College of Optometry, where she trained extensively in the medical and optical management of diseased corneas. She is well-versed in optimizing vision in patients with irregular corneas through the use of specialty contact lenses. At the end of her residency, Dr. Ou was selected to be the recipient of the annual Bert and Lydia Corwin Contact Lens Residency Award. 

Dr. Ou is passionate about all aspects of optometry, but especially enjoys the everyday interactions and conversations with her patients. In her free time, she enjoys baking, staying active with CrossFit, hiking, relaxing at the beach, and exploring new coffee shops and restaurants.
