Dr. Biaggi graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor's in Psychobiology and received her Doctor of Optometry degree from the Southern California College of Optometry in 2016. A native of San Diego and fluent in Spanish, Dr. Biaggi enjoys hiking, biking, visiting the zoo, and traveling with her husband. Dr. Biaggi relates the following story of a patient who had an impact on her career:
A man once came to my office for a routine eye exam with no vision complaints. As I was going through my usual examination with the biomicroscope, I immediately noticed that something was not right - a large pigmented mass spreading from the edge of the iris to the cornea. I referred the patient to see a specialist, explaining that the lesion looked very suspicious for an iris melanoma. A few weeks later, I received a note from his wife, thanking me for detecting the cancer and saving his eye. This story reminds me that my ultimate job as an optometrist is to help people preserve the wonderful gift of sight.
