Overview
Dr. Ljiljana Aleksic was born in Hamilton, Ontario, grew up in Phoenix, and has practised optometry since 2009. She completed her Bachelor of Science in biology at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix and received her Doctor of Optometry from the Southern California College of Optometry in Fullerton.
Her clinical training was unusually hospital-weighted for an optometrist. She completed externships at Hu Hu Kam Memorial Hospital in Sacaton, Arizona, the Southern Arizona Veterans Hospital in Tucson, the Phoenix Indian Medical Center, and a five-day low vision rehabilitation programme in Las Vegas, and she has treated patients with ocular disease at Luke Air Force Base in Glendale. Those settings see advanced diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and macular disease in volume, and that is reflected in how closely she examines a retina before she signs off a healthy eye.
At the North 16th Street office in Phoenix she handles comprehensive examinations, glasses and contact lenses alongside that medical work, and sees patients whose sight can no longer be corrected with a stronger prescription, where the useful conversation is about magnification, lighting, contrast and getting daily tasks done.
Dr. Aleksic is fluent in Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian. In her spare time she travels, reads and spends time outdoors, often with her niece, Petra.

Questions Patients Ask
How do I book an eye exam with Dr. Aleksic?
Call the Phoenix-N 16th St office in Phoenix, Arizona on 602-234-7904 to book an eye exam or a contact lens appointment. Ask for the first available slot with Dr. Aleksic by name, say whether the visit is a routine exam, a contact lens fitting or an eye problem, and have your vision or medical plan details to hand so cover can be checked before you arrive.
What should I bring to my first visit with Dr. Aleksic?
Bring photo ID and your vision and medical insurance cards, your current glasses and the boxes or prescription for your contact lenses, a list of every medicine and eye drop you use, and any previous eye records or retinal scans. Mention diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease or a family history of glaucoma, because these change what gets examined. Your pupils may be dilated, which leaves vision blurry and light sensitive for a few hours, so bring sunglasses and plan for someone else to drive if you are unsure.
