Dr. Jeffrey R. Anshel, a native of Chicago, graduated from the Illinois College of Optometry in 1975. He served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy from 1975-77 in San Diego, California where he established the Navy’s first vision therapy center.
In 1978, he opened a practice for holistic optometry at the Center for Total Health in Solana Beach, California. It was in this environment where he first offered his patients nutritional counseling, vision therapy, color therapy, acupressure, and other alternatives in vision care. He has written articles regarding nutritional influences on vision and stress factors that affect visual performance. To this day, he continues to use nutritional support for eye health issues for his patients.
