Optometry is a health care profession that involves examining the eyes and applicable visual systems for defects or abnormalities, as well as diagnosing and managing eye disease. Optometrists are healthcare professionals who provide primary eye care through comprehensive eye examinations to detect and treat various visual abnormalities and eye diseases. Being a regulated profession, an optometrist’s scope of practice may differ depending on the location. Thus, disorders or diseases detected outside the treatment scope of optometry (i.e. those requiring certain surgical interventions) are referred out to relevant medical professionals for proper care, more commonly to ophthalmologists who are physicians that specialize in the tertiary medical and surgical care of the eye. Optometrists typically work closely together with other eye care professionals, such as ophthalmologists and opticians, to deliver quality and efficient eye care to the general public.

Passionate about vision care, Dr. Corben has been a guest lecturer for the College of the Canyons Nursing School and has given lectures for Coopervision Contact lens company. He now actively spends time in the Santa Monica area providing free eye exams for the homeless. 

Having won several awards in optometry, Dr. Corben is the recipient of the prestigious “2009 Young Optometrist of the Year in California” by the California Optometric Association.
