Dr. Matsunaga (or Dr. Matt!) is an optometrist that prides himself on delivering quality, comprehensive, and professional vision care to all of his patients. Our experienced optometrist and staff care for each patient with the utmost attention. We believe that your vision should be cared for in a thorough and professional manner.
At Southwood Optometry Dr. Matsunaga examines the refractive error (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, etc.), ocular health (internal & external structures), binocular function (eye coordination & focusing), and lifestyle demands to assure that your eyes allow you to live life to it’s fullest. He also co-manages cataract and LASIK patients pre and post-surgery. Each patient’s treatment plan is tailored to their specific needs.
If you are experiencing pain, discomfort, or changes in vision and need immediate care, our optometrist is certified in the treatment and management of diseases/disorders such as dry eyes, glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, and red eyes to name a few. Dr. Matsunaga is on-call for emergencies if needed. Our optometry office has been servicing the Torrance and neighboring areas for 30 years and hope to continue doing so for many more. Hope to see you soon!
