Stephanie M. Mastores, O.D.

Dr. Stephanie M. Mastores is a 2009 graduate of the Ohio State College of Optometry, and the most recent addition to the staff of Central Phoenix Eye Care. She attended the University of Arizona before obtaining her Bachelor of Science degree from Ohio State University. Prior to graduating from optometry school, she completed two externships in Arizona at the Whiteriver Indian Health Hospital and at the Souther Arizona VA Hospital in Tucson.

Dr. Mastores is an active member of Volunteers for Optometric Service to Humanity (VOSH) which provides eye exams to the underprivileged around the world. She has participated in VOSH trips to Ecuador, Mexico, and Cameroon. She also is an adjunct faculty member at the Midwestern University Arizona College of Optometry in Glendale. She teaches clinical procedures, and is the faculty advisor for the student branch of VOSH.

Dr. Mastores has a special interest in specialty contact lenses, and is certified to perform Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT- previously known as Ortho-Keratology) which uses specialized rigid contact lenses to allow a nearsighted person to gradually reduce their nearsightedness (myopia) while sleeping in these lenses. For those who qualify, this is a non-surgical refractive service that would allow a patient to go through the whole day without having to wear glasses or contact lenses.

Her other interests in optometry is the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases. As a fully licensed optometric physician, she can perform minor in-office procedures (remove a sliver from the surface of the eye), treat and diagnose glaucoma (a disease due to high pressure in the eye), and prescribe antibiotics for conjunctivitis ("pink-eye").

We are happy to have her expertise to help with examining children, toddlers, and babies. She has participated in the InfantSee program, a national organization of optometrists who examine infants from 6 to 12 months of age, at no charge, in an effort to diagnose early vision and eye problems such as amblyopia (lazy eye) and eye tumors, which can occur in infants.

Dr. Mastores is a member of the Arizona Optometric Association (AzOA), the American Optometric Association (AOA), and the American Academy of Optometry (AAO).

Dr. Steven H. Kantor, O.D.

Dr. Kantor has been in private practice in Arizona since 1980. Though the majority of the practice is general eye examinations, Dr. Kantor is always available to discuss your special individual eye care needs.

Along with general optometry, Dr. Kantor has a special interest in Dry Eye evaluations, computer eyestrain diagnosis, and contact lenses. He is committed to quality care and provides a verbal detailed summary to each patient at the conclusion of the examination. He succeeds in helping his patent's understand all of the vision options available to them.

We feel that the friendly atmosphere we have here in our office starts with the caring commitment of the doctor and we are sure that you will agree it is evident with Dr. Kantor.

He is a member of the American and Arizona Optometric Associations. In addition to his general optometry license, he is licensed to use all diagnostic and ocular therapeutic pharmaceutical agents in order to give the most comprehensive eye examination possible.
We are sure that you will find your visit with Dr. Kantor one of the most pleasant eye or medical examinations that you have ever had. Come in and experience the difference.

A. James Frank, III, O.D.

Dr. Frank has been in Arizona since 1982. He partnered with Dr. Kantor in 1991, and they recently merged in 2003.

Dr. Frank performs general eye examinations for children, teens, adults, and seniors. He has recently become certified CRT (using special contact lenses to re-shape the cornea-outer surface of the eye). This allows those candidates to sleep in their lenses overnight, remove them in the morning, and be glasses and contacts free for the remainder of the day. Then the "retainer lens" is put back on in the evening at bedtime, and the process starts over again. If you have any interest in this non-surgical refractive procedure, make an appointment to see Dr. Frank for an eye examination and CRT consultation.

Dr. Frank is also licensed to perform all diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to treat eye diseases such as: Conjunctivitis ("Pink Eye"), Glaucoma, Eyelid inflammation or disease (Blepharitis), Iritis, Eye Allergies, Eye or Corneal abrasions, and Dry Eye.

With his background in pathology, he can answer your questions about cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and dry eye.

Dr. Frank is a member of the Arizona and American Optometric Associations since 1982.
