Eric M. Fennema, OD

Eric M. Fennema, OD operates on Newport Road in Menifee, handling the standard scope of optometry — routine refractions and eye health screening, contact lens fitting, dry eye evaluation, and pediatric exams. The practice accepts most common vision plans including VSP and EyeMed, reducing the out-of-pocket friction for insured patients. Eyewear is dispensed in-house, meaning frames and lenses are selected and fitted without routing through a separate retail step. This setup suits residents who prefer a single-provider visit over the chain-store model where exam and frame selection happen in different departments or different locations. Patients needing contact lens troubleshooting or ongoing dry eye management benefit from continuity with the same practitioner across multiple visits. For complex cases — cataracts, LASIK candidacy, low-vision concerns — the practice handles referral coordination to specialists rather than leaving patients to navigate that step alone. Menifee families with children needing their first exam or updated prescriptions find this format more straightforward than scheduling at a mall optical or big-box pharmacy location.
