Welcome to Aesthetic Eye Care
Your San Luis Obispo Eye Doctors
Our eyes are critical for many of life's daily activities, yet many take them for granted. Give your eyes the treatment they deserve at Aesthetic Eye Care.
Meet the Doctors
Justin and Gina Hellman met in Chicago during their training. After years of frozen winters together, they were fortunate to settle in sunny San Luis Obispo, where they are raising their sons Ethan and Nathan and their dog Ella. They are proud to be part of the SLO community and to have established their family business Aesthetic Eye Care.
Dr. Gina Hellman is a family eye doctor with extensive experience in optometric care. Her expertise centers on the diagnosis and treatment of ocular disease, fitting contact lenses, and providing comprehensive eye exams. She is a graduate of the Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago and has dedicated herself to providing superior eye care to her clients in the San Luis Obispo area.
Dr. Justin Hellman is one of only 2 fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeons on the Central Coast. Dr. Gina Hellman focuses on the eyes themselves, and Dr. Justin Hellman focuses on the eyelids and everything around the eyes. He commonly performs both cosmetic and functional eyelid lifts, eye bag removal, endoscopic brow lifts, skin cancer reconstructions, and removal of irritating lesions around the eyes.

We provide a wide array of eye care services, including:
- Eye Exams and Consultations: Comprehensive vision screenings designed to detect early signs of any eye issues.
- Eye Function Testing: Our optometrist evaluates depth perception, color vision, eye muscles, and other testing to determine healthy focus and movement.
- Corrective Lenses: Our optician will help you determine the correct eyeglasses or contact lenses to meet your needs and lifestyle.
- Cosmetic Lenses: Custom contact lenses can hide any eye color variations or irregularities. You can also choose your own eye color.
