Sight Restoring Treatments

Dr. Zhu is a Harvard-trained, board-certified eye specialist in cornea, cataract, and refractive surgery. As a key opinion leader in advanced laser vision correction, cataract, and custom lens replacement surgery, Dr. Zhu educates surgeons from around the world on the latest surgical procedures and serves as medical advisor to multiple ophthalmic companies. She leads FDA clinical research trials on the latest advancements in cataract, refractive, presbyopia, and keratoconus treatments. Dr. Zhu has delivered and been featured in over 300 lectures, scientific presentations, publications, and press articles including Forbes, the Today Show, InStyle, and CNN.
Dr. Zhu practices as Medical Director and Partner of NVISION Eye Centers in Rowland Heights, CA. As a first-generation immigrant, she graduated as high school Valedictorian and Summa Cum Laude from UCLA on a full tuition Regent’s Scholarship and went on to receive her M.D. from Harvard Medical School. She did her residency at the prestigious Doheny Eye Institute/University of Southern California (USC) and completed her cornea and refractive fellowship at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, consistently ranked the #1 eye hospital in the country.
Laser vision correction and custom intraocular lens procedures have come a long way. Dr. Zhu uses only the saftest, most-advanced laser technology available today including the LENSAR femtosecond laser for bladeless laser-assisted cataract surgery as well as the Zeimer femtosecond laser and Allegretto Ex500 excimer laser for custom Contoura® topography-guided LASIK. With custom LASIK, patients can often achieve better than 20/20 vision with improved nighttime driving vision compared to their glasses and contact lenses.
Dr. Zhu is on the forefront of technological advances and was the first surgeon in Los Angeles to implant the PanOptix® trifocal intraocular lens to help patients over 45 years of age achieve freedom from glasses for near and far with a custom lens replacement. She was also one of the first surgeons in the country to implant the EVO® ICL, an implantable collamer lens that corrects high levels of nearsightedness and astigmatism in patients who are not good candidates for LASIK or other laser vision correction procedures.
Dr. Zhu has performed over 20,000+ successful procedures on fellow physicians, community leaders, and celebrity influencers. She will treat you like her own family. Every person and eyeball is unique; Dr. Zhu will use her expertise to choose the right procedure for you, even if that means no surgery at all! Fortunately, Dr. Zhu has been able to offer treatments to hundreds of patients who have been deemed poor surgical candidates elsewhere.
Unlike a traditional "LASIK-mill" where patients are often treated as a "number," Dr. Zhu and her team are with you every step of the way in your journey to clear vision. From your no-cost consultation to your surgery day and beyond, Dr. Zhu's team will ensure all your questions and concerns are addressed as customer service is our number one priority (Just check out our 5-star yelp reviews!) We know that vision correction surgery is a huge once-in-a-lifetime decision, and we are here to make your experience as smooth as possible.
