Lauren Brito

Surgical Coordinator

Lauren Brito is the Surgical Coordinator at One EyeCare LASIK, bringing compassion, experience, and a deep appreciation for the life-changing impact of vision care. Born and raised in South Central Los Angeles, Lauren’s professional journey took a meaningful turn during two formative years in Hawaii. There, she gained hands-on experience and mentorship from seasoned ophthalmologists across the islands—an opportunity that helped shape her path in the eye care field.

Lauren’s entry into the industry happened somewhat by chance, but her passion for it grew quickly. What began as just a job became a deeply fulfilling career as she discovered how rewarding it is to help patients improve their vision. Whether through glasses, contacts, or surgery, she loves playing a role in the moment when a patient realizes how clearly they can see again—an experience she considers one of the most meaningful parts of her work.

She knew she was in the right profession the first time she witnessed the transformative power of clear vision after surgery. Seeing a patient light up with joy and relief after years of struggling with poor vision was a moment that stayed with her. It reinforced that the work she does goes far beyond exams and procedures—it restores something truly special.

Outside of work, Lauren is deeply family-oriented and proud of her cultural roots, with her family originating from Mexico on her mother’s side and El Salvador on her father’s. She enjoys spending time with her partner and their pets, traveling to explore new cultures and cuisines, reading, and cheering on the Dodgers. Her love for people and new experiences naturally enhances her ability to connect with patients and make them feel comfortable, supported, and cared for throughout their surgical journey.
