A Brief Discussion on the Pros and Cons of Various Myopia Control Methods
Meet Dr. Liu
Originally from Beijing, I graduated from Peking University and practiced as an ophthalmologist in China before relocating to the United States.
The emphasis of my research and clinical expertise has been on the investigation and utilization of novel optical designs and pharmaceuticals in myopia control, and I enjoy a global reputation in the field.
I obtained 4 graduate degrees in addition to my medical training in China: MBA in financial management; accelerated OD at Pacific University, College of Optometry; MPH (emphasis in biostatistics and clinical study design) and a PhD in physiological optics at UC Berkeley.
I enjoy teaching both in didactic and clinical settings. I have years of experience in teaching basic and clinical pharmacology, specialty contact lenses, ocular disease, and evidence-based optometry.
When not at work, I love cooking spicy food, swimming, doing HIIT, and spending time with my family, including my two Corgis Q and Pi.
Meet Dr. Jung
I grew up in Victoria, British Columbia, which is an island with rocky beaches, green forests, and rainy winters. I spent a lot of time outside as a child, and I think that is part of the reason why I’m not nearsighted!
I work with residents and student clinicians to provide myopia and specialty contact lens services to patients. Additionally, I enjoy delivering CE lectures and workshops on all aspects of myopia management.
I completed my Doctor of Optometry at Pacific University in Oregon, then continued my journey south to UC Berkeley for residency training in Primary Care and Contact Lenses. During my residency, I gained extensive experience in managing complex ocular diseases and challenging pediatric myopia cases. In addition to my roles in clinical teaching and patient care, I am deeply involved in clinical myopia research, focusing on the safety and efficacy of innovative myopia interventions.
I love long-distance running around the Bay Area, cooking, and playing board games. I am also creative, and love to do crafts and DIY projects, including watercolor, pottery, sewing and more. If you, or your child, does crafts I’d love to see them!
Your Child’s Baseline Assessment
Auto-refraction & Auto-keratometry
Optical Biometry
Corneal Topography
Slit-lamp Biomicroscopy
Specular Microscopy
We will review all of the pretest results along with other factors such as family history and environmental influences, to predict the likelihood of myopia worsening.
We will provide an overview of the available options, highlighting their strengths and limitations, and assess their feasibility for your child based on relevant factors
We will review the exam process and the frequency of office visits associated with each treatment option, providing the information you need to make an informed decision.
