About Dr. Irina Yakubin
OptiHealth Optometry is a medical-focused, single-doctor optometry practice in Santa Monica led by Dr. Irina Yakubin, OD. The practice emphasizes medical eye care, continuity of care, and evidence-based treatment for patients seeking more than a routine vision screening.
Dr. Yakubin provides care for adults and children, with a clinical focus on dry eye disease, eye infections and inflammation, ocular disease management, diabetic eye exams, and cataract co-management. Patients with urgent eye concerns are encouraged to schedule promptly.
OptiHealth Optometry is an independent practice located within Montana Eyes Optical. While eyewear services are available on-site through the optical, the optometry practice itself is separate and independently operated.
Dr. Yakubin earned her Doctor of Optometry degree from the Inter American University of Puerto Rico, School of Optometry and has practiced in hospital and private practice settings, bringing broad clinical experience to patient care.
Insurance & Payment:
Medicare and medical insurance are accepted. Vision plans and out-of-network benefits may be billed depending on coverage. Patients seeking glasses-only or retail optical services may be better served by a dedicated optical provider.
No-Show & Cancellation Policy
Appointments canceled or rescheduled within 72 hours of the scheduled appointment time, as well as missed appointments, are subject to a no-show/late cancellation fee. This policy helps ensure availability for patients with medical eye care needs.

Irina is a great optometrist. She was able to get my prescription right the first time I saw her, which I found to be highly unusual!
More recently Irina took a tremendous amount of time working with me after surgery. I highly recommend her for her proficiency, skills and empathy.

She is incredible. Dr. Yakubin is a truly amazing and compassionate professional. She helped to not only correct my vision to a greater degree than any doctor I've seen before her, but she also helped me to understand the issue I was having and the reason for how we are approaching treatment. I look forward up our next appointment.
