The Colvard-Kandavel Eye Center is proud to announce a landmark achievement in our long history of providing world-class vision care. Building on years of experience caring for elite athletes—including professional soccer powerhouses, Los Angeles Galaxy and Angel City FC—we have been selected as the Ophthalmologists for the FIFA World Cup, to be hosted in the United States with matches in Los Angeles in 2026. This honor reflects not only our dedication to cutting-edge ophthalmic care but also the trust we have earned among some of the world’s most celebrated athletes.
At the heart of our team are specialists whose expertise spans the full spectrum of eye health. Dr. Justin Dredge, our fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist, brings exceptional skill to our glaucoma and cataract service. Dr. Yoon, our specialty-trained oculoplastic surgeon, provides advanced surgical care for both functional and aesthetic eye and orbital surgeries. Our general ophthalmologists, Dr. Steve Rabinowitz and Dr. Robert Medina, offer comprehensive care that blends meticulous clinical judgment with a personal touch—ensuring that every patient, from professional athlete to community member, receives the highest standard of treatment. Dr. Kandavel continues to perform state-of-the-art cataract surgery and comprehensive consultations. Dr. Dredge and Dr. Kandavel both continue resident education and mission trips throughout the year.
Our physicians are supported by a dedicated, long-term staff whose commitment and warmth have become a hallmark of the patient experience. Their deep knowledge and compassionate approach ensure a smooth and reassuring journey for every patient.
In response to growing demand, we are also proud to share that our clinic will be undergoing a major expansion in 2026. Over the next year, we will be acquiring additional space, outfitted with the latest diagnostic technology and designed to enhance patient comfort. This investment reflects our unwavering focus on accessibility, innovation, and efficiency—so that we can continue to set the standard in ophthalmology.
Happy New Year! From the physicians and staff at the Colvard-Kandavel Eye Center.
