About Mosaddegh Eye Institute: Ophthalmology Clinic in San Francisco

Mosaddegh Eye Institute is an ophthalmology clinic in San Francisco providing personalized medical, surgical, and routine eye care for patients who want clear answers, careful evaluation, and long-term vision protection.
Founded and led by Dr. Lillie Mosaddegh, MD, a board-certified ophthalmologist, our practice brings together advanced diagnostic technology, evidence-based treatment, and compassionate patient care. We help patients with cataracts, dry eye disease, glaucoma, refractive concerns, diabetic eye health, comprehensive eye exams, and other vision-related conditions.
Our goal is simple: to help every patient understand their eyes, their options, and the best path forward.
At Mosaddegh Eye Institute, eye care is never one-size-fits-all. Every patient has different vision needs, health history, lifestyle demands, and treatment goals. That is why our team takes time to evaluate the full picture before recommending a care plan.
Dr. Mosaddegh brings more than 26 years of clinical experience to the diagnosis and treatment of complex eye conditions. Her work includes premium cataract surgery, dry eye treatment, glaucoma management, and refractive care, with a strong focus on precision, safety, and patient education.
From the first visit, patients can expect a thoughtful, detail-oriented experience centered on trust and clarity.
Advanced Ophthalmology Care for San Francisco Patients
Our San Francisco eye care team uses modern ophthalmic technology to support accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment planning.
Advanced testing helps us evaluate the health of the eye, detect early disease, monitor changes over time, and plan procedures with greater confidence. This is especially important for patients with cataracts, dry eye disease, glaucoma, diabetic eye concerns, and corneal or ocular surface conditions.
We believe technology is most valuable when it is paired with clinical judgment and clear communication. Patients should understand not only what we find, but what it means for their vision and daily life.
Our Approach to Patient-Centered Eye Care
Our care philosophy is built on education, prevention, and individualized treatment. We take time to explain diagnoses in plain language, review treatment options carefully, and answer patient questions before moving forward.
Whether someone is visiting for a routine eye exam or considering cataract surgery, we want them to feel informed and supported.
- Careful diagnosis before treatment
- Personalized recommendations based on lifestyle and eye health
- Long-term vision preservation
- Clear communication at each step
- Compassionate care for patients of all ages
- Coordination between medical, surgical, and optical services
Specialized Care for Cataracts, Dry Eye, Glaucoma, and Vision Health
Premium Cataract Surgery
Cataracts can cause cloudy vision, glare, halos, faded colors, and difficulty seeing at night. Dr. Mosaddegh offers advanced cataract evaluation and treatment, including premium lens options for patients who want clearer vision and reduced dependence on glasses when appropriate.
Patients receive careful measurements, lens counseling, and a personalized surgical plan based on their eye health and visual goals.
Dry Eye Diagnosis and Treatment
Dry eye disease can cause burning, watering, redness, irritation, fluctuating vision, and discomfort with screen use or contact lenses.
Our practice evaluates the underlying cause of dry eye, including tear film instability and meibomian gland dysfunction. Treatment may include advanced in-office therapies, home care, and ongoing management to improve comfort and support healthier eyes.
Glaucoma Management
Glaucoma is often called the silent thief of sight because it can progress without obvious symptoms in the early stages. Our glaucoma care focuses on early detection, careful monitoring, eye pressure management, and long-term protection of the optic nerve.
Refractive and Comprehensive Eye Care
For patients interested in reducing dependence on glasses or contacts, our team provides refractive surgery consultations and helps determine whether LASIK, refractive lens exchange, or another option may be appropriate.
We also provide comprehensive eye exams, diabetic eye care, contact lens services, specialty lens support, and optical care to help patients maintain clear, comfortable vision throughout life.
