How did Dr. Amini, Azul Vision's Medical Director of Vitreoretinal Services, get his start in ophthalmology? The summer before starting undergrad at UC San Diego, he went in for a routine eye exam at Costco Wholesale (they really do have deals on EVERYTHING). The optometrist told him he had elevated eye pressure and needed to see an ophthalmologist. That visit led to a glaucoma diagnosis at just 18 years old, and he was put on TWO different kinds of eye drops that made his eyes red and irritated. A budding medical professional, he of course sought a second opinion at UCSD, where one of the world’s top glaucoma specialists told him he didn’t actually have glaucoma at all, his nerves just looked that way naturally. No drops needed! That appointment got him more than a new diagnosis. The doctor invited him to join his research team, and from there, Dr. Amini was hooked. That experience led him to pursue ophthalmology, complete his residency and fellowship at UC San Diego, and eventually become a renowned retina specialist. It’s a reminder that second opinions matter, mentorship can be life-changing, and sometimes a simple eye exam (or a routine trip to Costco) can take your life in a whole new direction!

I am thrilled to announce the grand opening of Azul Vision in Encinitas! We had an incredible time celebrating this exciting milestone with our amazing team. I’m incredibly grateful and proud of them for making it all possible. Here’s to growth, vision, and serving our wonderful patients!

?? Happy Birthday to Dr. Eugene Chang! ?? At Azul Vision, we celebrate the people who make our team stronger, and Dr. Chang is one of them. His dedication to patient care, sharp sense of humor, and memorable one-liners have made him a beloved part of our family. To mark the occasion, our care team created special “Dr. Chang Rocks” shirts featuring some of his most well-known sayings, like “Eat more sardines” and his signature send-off, “Okay bye.” These shirts are more than just a celebration. They reflect the energy, expertise, and personality that make Dr. Chang such an essential part of Azul Vision. We are lucky to have providers who bring passion and character to everything they do, and we are even luckier to work alongside a team that values them. Feel free to leave a comment below wishing Dr. Chang a fantastic birthday and another great year ahead!
