Our Practice in San Diego

Dr. Matthew S. Langford received his Bachelors of Science in molecular and cellular developmental biology from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He then received his Doctorate in Optometric Medicine from the Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago, IL. Dr. Langford completed his internships at the Illinois Eye Institute in Chicago, the Gordon Weiss Vision Institute in La Jolla, and the VA Hospital in Palo Alto, CA. He is board-certified in treating ocular disease with therapeutic pharmaceutical agents (TPA), primary open-angle glaucoma, and lacrimal irrigation and dilation.

Dr. Langford practices full-scope optometric medicine and emphasizes early detection of ocular diseases such as cataracts, diabetes, glaucoma, dry eye syndrome, and macular degeneration. He also co-manages refractive surgery (like LASIK) and fits all types of contact lenses, including specialty contact lenses for keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, post-surgical corneas, and other corneal diseases. Dr. Langford is also certified for corneal refractive therapy (CRT), a non-surgical approach to vision correction comparable to LASIK.

He is also a first-degree black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do, enjoys playing the guitar, and running with his Labradoodle named Leo.
