Dr. Lillie Mosaddegh is a board-certified ophthalmologist in San Francisco with more than 26 years of clinical experience.

As founder of the Dry Eye Academy, she has helped advance awareness of ocular surface disease and its importance in accurate diagnostics, surgical planning, and long-term visual comfort.

Premium Cataract Surgery

At Mosaddegh Eye Institute, premium cataract surgery in San Francisco goes beyond removing a cloudy lens. Dr. Lillie Mosaddegh combines advanced diagnostics, personalized lens selection, and careful ocular surface optimization to improve accuracy, healing, and visual outcomes. Because dry eye can affect pre-surgical measurements, our process includes detailed dry eye evaluation and treatment when needed before surgery.

“The best cataract outcomes begin before surgery, with precise measurements and a healthy tear film,” says Dr. Mosaddegh. We offer advanced lens technologies, including monofocal, toric, multifocal, extended depth of focus, and light-adjustable options when appropriate, so patients can choose a vision plan that fits their lifestyle.

Dr. Lillie Mosaddegh develops personalized treatment plans designed to improve long-term comfort, ocular surface health, and visual quality.

“Dry eye is not just a symptom problem. It is a diagnostic and quality-of-life problem that deserves a precise treatment plan,” says Dr. Mosaddegh. Depending on your findings, treatment may include LipiFlow®, IPL, TearCare, BlephEx®, gland expression, and other targeted therapies selected for your specific condition.

Mosaddegh Eye Institute provides glaucoma management in San Francisco for patients who need accurate diagnosis, ongoing monitoring, and timely treatment to help protect vision. Dr. Lillie Mosaddegh uses modern diagnostic technology to assess optic nerve health, eye pressure, visual field risk, and disease progression with precision.

Our goal is to preserve vision through proactive care, clear communication, and individualized long-term follow-up.




Myopia Control

Our myopia control program in San Francisco is led by Dr. Thomas Aller, OD, FBCLA, an internationally recognized expert in evidence-based myopia management. He evaluates each child’s prescription, eye growth pattern, lifestyle, and risk factors to build a personalized treatment strategy designed to slow progression safely and effectively.

Treatment options may include orthokeratology, custom soft lenses, and other modern approaches selected for long-term eye health as well as visual function.

Dr. Lillie Mosaddegh performs a detailed evaluation to determine candidacy and explain the options that best fit your needs.

Because ocular surface health can directly affect comfort and results, we also diagnose and manage dry eye before and after refractive procedures when needed. This thoughtful, individualized process helps patients make confident decisions about vision correction.
