Dr. Adele Yarmohammadi

Personalized Eye Care for All

Dr. Adeleh Yarmohammadi (known as “Dr. Adele”) is a California-trained ophthalmologist, board-certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. She specializes in various anterior segment surgeries, including cataract, glaucoma, LASIK, and facial aesthetic procedures like eyelid surgeries.

“Ever since I was a kid, I had a knack for painting. While in medical school, I realized that ophthalmology is not just another medical field. It’s truly a combination of both medicine and art. Understanding my patients’ visual and aesthetic needs and using my skills as an artist and a surgeon to improve their quality of life brings me immense joy.”

Dr. Adele completed two years of clinical and research sub-specialty fellowships in Glaucoma and Ocular Imaging at the world-renowned Hamilton Glaucoma Center. Following a surgical internship at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center, she completed her ophthalmology residency at UC San Diego Shiley Eye Institute —one of the nation’s top programs—, where she had the privilege of training under the mentorship of Dr. Don Kikkawa and Dr. Bobby Korn, leaders in the field of Oculoplastics.
