Nanar grew up in Glendale and built her practice around a simple clinical priority: give complex eyes the time, precision, and follow-up they require.

After graduating from Hoover High School, she earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychobiology from UCLA in 2009. She later graduated as Salutatorian from Western University of Health Sciences and earned her Doctorate of Optometry in 2014. Her experience includes working in optometry and ophthalmology offices throughout the Greater Los Angeles area.

Her primary interest is fitting patients with custom contact lenses. She works with small-diameter rigid gas permeable lenses, scleral lenses, hybrid lenses, and specialty soft lenses.

Nanar is especially passionate about scleral lenses because she has seen how much a successful fit can improve a patient’s comfort, confidence, and day-to-day vision.
