About

Dr. Sandy Feldman is a board-certified ophthalmologist practicing in San Diego, California. Specializing in cornea and refractive surgery, including LASIK, EVO ICL, and SMILE, she believes the best vision correction procedure is tailored to an individual's eyes and lifestyle, not its popularity. Dr. Feldman emphasizes that patient confidence stems from trusting the medical team and feeling informed and supported. Her practice prioritizes patient safety, comfort, and long-term vision from the initial consultation through recovery. Dr. Feldman avoids outdated methods, such as blades in LASIK. She uses iDesign® technology for detailed 3D eye mapping to guide customized treatments. For patients with thinner corneas or active lifestyles, PRK is offered as an alternative to LASIK. Her services also include Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) to reduce reading glass dependence and prevent future cataracts, and Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) for keratoconus. Clearview Eye & Laser Medical Center was the first in San Diego to introduce the CATALYS® Precision Laser System for personalized cataract surgery. Dr. Feldman has been featured on major media outlets and has over 100 published papers and national presentations.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Sandy Feldman

Sourced directly from Dr. Sandy Feldman's social posts and replies.

What is the typical recovery time for LASIK vision?
Most LASIK patients achieve clear vision within 24 hours.
Source →
What should I do if I experience sudden vision changes?
Sudden vision changes, such as a new floater, flashes in your vision, or a sudden dark spot, can sometimes signal a retinal problem that needs prompt attention. Waiting to see if these changes resolve on their own can be risky; getting checked early can help protect your sight. It's always better to know the reason why your vision has suddenly changed.
Source →
What is PRK and who is it recommended for?
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) reshapes the surface of the cornea without creating a flap, making it an excellent alternative for individuals not suitable for LASIK. It's a great option for patients with thinner corneas or those who live highly active lifestyles, such as athletes, military personnel, and first responders, who often choose PRK for long-term vision correction.

How can iDesign® technology help with vision correction, especially for nighttime driving?
If nighttime driving has become difficult, your standard glasses prescription may not be telling the whole story, as traditional prescriptions don't measure every tiny imperfection. iDesign® technology creates a detailed 3D map of your eyes, capturing subtle optical irregularities that standard eye exams can miss. This personalized information guides a more customized vision correction treatment, resulting in sharper, clearer vision, even after dark.
Source →
What is Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) and what are its benefits?
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) involves replacing your eye's natural lens with an advanced intraocular lens. This procedure helps reduce dependence on reading glasses and corrects vision at multiple distances. An added benefit is that because the natural lens is replaced, you won't develop cataracts in that eye later in life. A personalized evaluation is the best way to determine if RLE is right for you.
Source →
What is the CATALYS® Precision Laser System used in cataract surgery?
The CATALYS® Precision Laser System is an advanced, computer-guided technology that enhances precision and helps personalize each cataract procedure. Clearview Eye & Laser Medical Center was the first practice in San Diego to introduce this system, offering a modern approach to cataract surgery that builds on decades of surgical advancement.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$344

Payments

4

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Sandy Feldman received $344 across 4 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was RxSight Inc.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
