We ask that anyone that enters the facility wear a mask prior to entering, maintain 6 feet distance between others when possible, and have anyone accompanying stay in the car unless needed for assistance. Come prepared for the visit to decrease your wait time. We have three locations in Southern California, including Lynwood, Downey and Whittier. Dr. H. John Shammas has been in practice in Lynwood since 1977.

The practice has been known for pioneering modern cataract surgery, being amongst the first in the area to offer phacoemulsification for removal of the cataract; amongst the first to utilize ultrasound measurements of the eye to calculate the power of the intaocular lens (the implant); and amongst the first to insert these implants into patients' eyes so they do not have to wear thick lenses in their glasses, often called "coke bottle glasses".

Report

Cataracts are a clouding of the natural lens causing a decrease or blurring of the vision. An examination can determine if a cataract is affecting your vision and if surgery if surgery is recommended. Diabetes can have a number of affects on the eye, and routine examinations are critical for early detection and treatment. Various tests can supplement an eye exam to make a diagnosis or follow disease progression. Learn more about what types of testing can be done.
