Pacific Eye Institute
Celebrating 50 years of Exceptional Service to the Inland Empire
When it comes to choosing an eye care practice, it’s about more than what you SEE. It’s about the quality of the eye physicians, their education, and how they make you feel. Do they use the safest and most effective procedures? Are they using the latest technologies that ensure the best possible outcomes? At Pacific Eye Institute our specialized eye physicians have the experience that you can trust.
In 1981, Dr. Robert Fabricant settled in Upland, California, and established what has become Pacific Eye Institute. Now, with multiple locations across the Inland Empire including Apple Valley, Colton, Barstow, Eastvale, Rancho Cucamonga, Temecula and Upland, Pacific Eye Institute is a leading provider of comprehensive eye care services. Among our locations is a modern, 9,200 square foot, state-of-the-art surgical center equipped with current and cutting-edge technology. Our friendly and compassionate staff and world-renowned physicians look forward to providing the highest quality of patient care as it relates to both common and complex ocular conditions.
