Erin Igne, OD

Dr. Igne has a deep passion for optometry, with a special focus on developmental optometry and vision therapy. She began her journey in the field in 2006, gaining hands-on experience in all aspects of patient care while working as an optician in a large corporate chain. This early exposure inspired her to pursue her Doctorate of Optometry, which she earned from the Southern California College of Optometry, graduating as a member of the Beta Sigma Kappa Honor Society. During her doctoral training, she also worked in a private practice setting, intentionally seeking mentorship and real-world experience to prepare for her long-term goal of practice ownership.

​​

Her dedication to vision therapy became deeply personal after being diagnosed with convergence insufficiency herself. Through her own experience, she developed a meaningful understanding of the impact that visual function can have on daily life, learning, and confidence. This perspective continues to shape her approach to patient care, as she is committed not only to treating visual conditions but also to empowering patients and families with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed.

 

Dr. Igne later acquired her practice from a well-established developmental optometrist who shared her passion for vision therapy. She is proud to continue that legacy of care, maintaining long-standing patient relationships while expanding services to meet the needs of today’s families through Family Tree Optometric.

 

Outside of the office, Dr. Igne is a devoted wife and mother of two. She has been married since 2008, and her husband is an integral part of the practice team. Known for her warm, approachable nature, she is often described as a true “people person.” She values building genuine connections with her patients and enjoys learning about their lives, recognizing that understanding the whole person is essential to providing thoughtful, comprehensive care.
