Dr. Karimi is a distinguished ophthalmologist who, for the past two decades, has been serving her patients in Southern California. She works at Elander Eye Care in Santa Monica, California.

A family tradition of excellence in ophthalmology, Elander Eye Care opened its doors in 1963 when Richard Elander MD began private practice. He was joined by his son, Troy Elander MD, in 1990. The office prides itself not only on providing the highest medical care to every patient it treats, but also in creating a caring family environment. 

“Our philosophy is to provide superior custom service and friendly, caring help to all our patients. We successfully blend traditional ophthalmology with leading-edge medicine, giving each patient the most comprehensive, current treatment available” as stated on their website. 

Academically, Dr. Karimi completed her undergraduate studies at UCLA and received her medical degree from the University of Kansas School of Medicine in 2001.

Achieving excellence in her field, she is board-certified in ophthalmology by the American Board of Ophthalmology, an independent, nonprofit organization responsible for certifying ophthalmologists (eye physicians and surgeons) in the United States. She is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (FAAO).

Passionate about patient education, Dr. Karimi has contributed to ophthalmology newsletter publications. She has affiliations with various Kaiser Permanente hospitals throughout Southern California, and has appeared on several foreign language news programs in an effort to bring awareness to the important role of regular ophthalmic care in the early detection of eye disease and prevention of vision loss.

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.

On a more personal note, Dr. Karimi is fluent in English, Farsi, and Spanish.
