Elise Swanson

Dr. Swanson is a biracial and bilingual (Spanish) optometrist with a degree in Spanish and linguistics from UCLA and a Doctor of Optometry degree from Southern California College of Optometry. She worked in public service for 10 years with Clinicas del Camino Real Inc. in Oxnard, and with Sutter Health in Santa Barbara. She now continues this public service as an optometrist for SEE International. 

Dr. Swanson believes in serving our community with integrity and passion, caring for all patients that enter her exam room. She provides efficient and individualized eyecare in both English and Spanish.  

“SEE International is a fantastic organization, and I am proud, as an optometrist, to be part of this team! Eyecare is an integral part of our lives and daily functioning. I love that I can use my skills to improve my patients lives with a glasses prescription; but even more, with SEE International, I know that my patients will always get the glasses I prescribe, regardless of ability to pay. It is every optometrist’s dream to have the world and their community seeing clearly, and SEE International helps me accomplish that.”
