LASIK Surgery
Our LASIK procedures use bladeless laser technology to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Patients benefit from customized treatment plans and advanced diagnostic tools ensuring precise outcomes. Most achieve 20/20 vision or better, reducing dependence on glasses or contacts.
Cataract Surgery
We specialize in laser-assisted cataract removal with premium intraocular lens implants like PanOptix and Toric IOLs. Our ORA-guided system ensures accurate astigmatism correction and lens placement. Patients enjoy faster recovery and reduced need for postoperative glasses.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our comprehensive glaucoma management includes early detection through OCT imaging and tailored treatment plans. We utilize medicated eye drops, laser therapy, and surgical interventions to preserve vision and control intraocular pressure effectively.
Retinal Disease Management
Advanced diagnostics like optical coherence tomography enable precise monitoring of retinal conditions. We treat macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal tears using anti-VEGF injections, laser photocoagulation, and vitrectomy procedures to maintain visual function.
Oculoplastic Surgery
Our oculoplastic services address functional and cosmetic eyelid concerns. Procedures include blepharoplasty for droopy eyelids, ptosis repair, and entropion/ectropion correction, improving both appearance and visual field obstruction caused by eyelid abnormalities.

Using Dr Lobue for a second time for cataract surgery, and another amazing trip with all the staff in Murrieta and Temecula. Don't really want to be headed there but when you can no longer see, what are you going to do. Friendly staff and very knowledgeable all the way around, to the point I plan to start going here regularly for my eye appointments. These people are the best, go see them if you have eye problems.

What a wonderful atmosphere this office has. The employee's were so friendly and polite, patient and explained all the steps as my appointment progressed. I would 100 percent recommend this Dr Lobue to all who are reading this review. He is located in Temecula, CA. I will be getting my appointment for cataract surgery very soon at my next appointment in just a week or so. And as for Dr Lobue himself, he is very friendly, personable, knows is business with what needs to be done with your eye for eyes. Please, if your insurance allows you to have him as your go to eye doctor, by all means you need to choose him.

Awesome experience. The doctor and entire staff here was extremely professional. I was sent here as a community care patient by the VA to have my eyes checked. They evaluated me and provided me prescriptions for eye glasses which the VA will now provide.

Here at an appointment for my son; was able to get a quick appointment for a sore and red eye. The office staff is great, quick, efficient and friendly. Extremely appreciative for care in a timely manner. Forgive me if I say I hope we will not need to come back, however, if do, this is the place. Thanks again!
