Dr. Madeline Yung is an ophthalmologist who provides comprehensive eye care. She specializes in cataracts and conditions of the cornea, and also treats common conditions such as dry eye syndrome, glaucoma and macular degeneration. She performs refractive surgery, including LASIK and PRK, to correct or improve vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

Yung's research focuses on conditions that affect the cornea, including corneal infections and limbal stem cell deficiency (a lack of the stem cells key to maintaining eye health). In 2021, she received a grant from the Eye Bank Association of America to study the antimicrobial effects of andrographolide (a plant-derived chemical) on donated corneas to prevent infection. With a passion for medical education, she also studies ways to better equip the next generation of ophthalmologists and other doctors to care for patients' ocular health.

Yung completed her medical degree and residency in ophthalmology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, where she received the Excellence in Teaching With Humanism Award for her mentorship of medical students. She completed a fellowship in cornea, external disease and refractive surgery at the University of California, Davis.

In her free time, Yung enjoys reading and snowboarding.

    Was not told ahead of time how many tests would be done and how long it would take. First appyfor tests was scheduled for 30 min and appointment with the doctor another hour so one hours from 2:30 until 5:15 over 21/2 hours. Due to traffic I did not get home until 7:45pm. I also was not told another eye exam would be done without my contact lenses including eye dilation. Could see nothing on the way home. Good thing I was not the driver. Instructions should be given before appointment. Was almost tears after the appointment

    Only issue I had with the care provider and the outpatient clinic is that they do not have staff on hand to assist you if you're disabled and have a mobility issue with wheelchair assistance they do have wheelchairs but what if you are by yourself and have no one to assist you They do not lie look they do not look like they want to help by pushing you in a wheelchair to your appointment or to your x-ray of bloodwork and that's not right I was fortunate to have someone with me but she was hobbled by her injury as well so they do need more people on hand to provide wheelchair assistance
