Patient Reviews
Feb 01, 2024
Dr. Chang is primarily known for his excellent (see reviews here) treatment of uveitis and retinal issues, but he also treats cataracts, and he did a fabulous job on my cataract replacements. We decided to correct my right eye for 20/20 at distance, and the result was spot on. Realizing that I would need to be a little nearsighted in my left eye so that I could read my phone and watch without glasses, Dr. Chang lent me several lenses for as long as I needed them so that I could experiment to get a lens implant that would not be noticeably blurry at distance but would still allow some near vision. With that guidance we chose a lens, and it worked out perfectly! I feel better about my vision than I have for decades, and not having to carry around all that glass (-6 and -4 diopters) in front of my eyes is a great relief.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
