About Helmus Optometry
Davis was a small community of under 5,000 residents when the town's first optometric practice was opened in 1950 by Dr. Richard Lindholtz. In 1986 Drs. Mark and Joann Helmus moved their young family from Berkeley, joined Dr. Lindholtz, and began Helmus Optometry.
Advancements in the delivery of eye care, along with a growing community, led to the need for a larger facility. The current clinic was designed and built by Drs. Helmus in 2007. Dr. Julie Helmus grew up working along with her parents at the clinic as well as on volunteer vision trips. After graduating from Pacific College of Optometry, she joined the family practice in 2015. Dr. Julie, Dr. Sally Talaga, Dr. Lana Tu, Dr. Paymaun Anaashari and Dr. Clare Thomasy, now proudly continue to provide eye care for the Davis community.
