Susan Martinez

Susan Martinez's optometry practice sits on East Morton Place in Hemet, operating as an independent eye-care provider handling the full spectrum of routine and specialized vision work — comprehensive exams, contact lens fittings, dry eye evaluation and management, pediatric exams, and low-vision assessment. The practice also carries frames in-house and maintains an optical lab for on-site finishing, meaning glasses orders don't require a separate trip to a frame shop or multi-day turnaround through a mail-in lab. The independent model appeals to patients with VSP, EyeMed, or other common vision plans who prefer direct scheduling over chain-store phone systems, and to those needing contact lens expertise or dry eye treatment beyond what a quick-turnover retail location typically offers. For surgical referrals — cataracts, LASIK, other procedures — Martinez provides the exam and recommendation pathway without the assumption that you'll fill glasses at their in-house boutique. Walk-in frame selection and same-day eyeglass availability matter most to families with school-age children and to anyone juggling a tight errand window; for that kind of speed, the chains still hold the edge. For continuity of care and a provider who sees you as a patient rather than a transaction, the independent optometrist fills a different role.
