About Dr. Alexander Bonakdar
Dr. Alexander Bonakdar has been serving patients in Orange County for over 35 years, establishing himself as one of the region's leading specialists in keratoconus treatment and complex contact lens fitting.
After graduating from the Southern California College of Optometry, Dr. Alexander Bonakdar dedicated his career to helping patients with challenging vision conditions that other practices often couldn't address. His expertise in scleral lens fitting has helped thousands of patients with keratoconus, post-surgical complications, and severe dry eye regain clear, comfortable vision.
Dr. Alexander Bonakdar was among the first optometrists in Orange County to offer IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy for dry eye disease, bringing this breakthrough treatment to patients who had exhausted traditional options. His practice has become a referral center for complex cases from ophthalmologists and optometrists throughout Southern California.
His patient-centered approach combines cutting-edge technology with personalized care. Every treatment plan is customized to the individual patient's needs, lifestyle, and visual goals. This commitment to individualized care has earned EyeCare Center of Orange County a reputation for excellence and has resulted in thousands of satisfied patients over the decades.
"I believe every patient deserves to see clearly and comfortably. Many patients come to us after being told nothing more can be done for their condition. Our mission is to find solutions where others see limitations. With advanced technology and decades of experience, we can help most patients achieve vision they never thought possible."
