It is often said that, “The eyes are the mirror to the soul.” They can reflect our thoughts, moods and even our aspirations (that hungry look). One thing is for certain in this Highly Visual, fast paced Motion Picture And Television Industry; they are one of our most prized assets (right editors, writers, lighting, agents, producers, casting, actors, managers, etc). If we are fortunate enough to be sighted, certainly we want to treat this precious gift with the utmost of loving care. Long hours in front of the computer, under the lights, enduring bright sun in front of reflectors etc. can take a toll on our eye health…not to mention advancing age. We go in search of just the “Right” Eye Aficionado, an on target optometrist who can support us and educate us about our valuable vision
Enter John Jacobs, OD, founder of Eye See Optometry, whose passion for what he does is only surpassed by the perfection with which he does it. This Power Agent reporter was awed by the insightful tips of eye health that the ever so knowledgeable Dr. Jacobs imparted to me. Did you Know that:
If you buy a cheapie pair of sunglasses that they probably have No all important UV protection- so your eyes can fry in the California sunshine?
If you are flying, it is better to Not wear contact lenses, as they change with the elevation and atmosphere settings of the plane.
If you do wear contacts, make sure to not overextend the wear, as your eyes need oxygen.
That if you spend compulsory extended hours in front of a computer, to secure a “blue light” to decrease your intense eye strain?
That if you take Ozempic, your eyes may become more sensitive?
These and a plethora of numerous other invaluable eye insights are what Dr. JJ shares with his patients on a daily basis to keep their precious peepers in Top shape.
“I knew from an early age that I wanted to be an optometrist,” recounts the ever so personable Dr. Jacobs. “I was 16, sitting in the optometry chair, feeling so very comfortable and
supported (and educated) by my doctor when I realized that this was the profession I wanted to pursue. And Gratefully, I accomplished this.I love helping people and improving their lives. At any age, Nothing means more to them than their healthy vision. We form lifetime relationships—from childhood to advanced age.

With my many Motion Picture and Television patients (we are just down the block from the Sag-Aftra building), I thoroughly understand their intense hours (when you’re Hot you’re Hot ) and their all important eye health.

My very capable staff and I absolutely love to watch them morph into an incredibly confident being, sporting their latest eye look. My actors adore how they can ably align themselves with their numerous roles, by procuring multiple eye jewelry. My producers, casting, agents and managers gain pivotal panache in their fields. My folks on all sides of the camera thrive with healthy eyes sporting just the right look for them. This is our objective at Eye See Optometry. GREAT VISION AND GREAT LOOKS.
For excellent eye health, everyone should have their eyes checked on a yearly basis, starting as early as 1. My staff and I work fastidiously to customize a program that fits each individual and their lifestyle. Anonymity is respected (Dr Jacobs has cared for many a celebrity eye—Ringo Star, etc). And Yes, we Do Take Insurance.
It’s an exciting time to be in optometry. There are so very many amazing eye care innovations on the horizon; Drops are being developed that may alleviate the need for glasses— Contact lenses that can actually dispense medications and even monitor blood sugar.
