“I am a physician who has been wearing glasses for 40 years. Dr. Chang performed lens replacement surgery on me and now I see like I’m in my 20’s. After the surgery I can see perfectly well WITHOUT GLASSES. Dr, Chang is extremely professional and was a joy to work with. I give him my highest recommendation. Thank you Dr. Chang for restoring my vision to 20/20.”

Vivity Premium Lenses allow objects at distance and intermediate to be focused and clear.

For Dr. Chang, engaging patients in the decision-making process is an essential part of any treatment plan. This collaboration fosters confidence in the selection of treatment and promotes the best outcomes for healthy vision.

Raised in Kaneohe, Dr. Chang attended UC Berkeley for college and returned to the University of Hawaii for medical school. After his residency at Loma Linda University’s School of Medicine, he went to Harvard for his fellowship in neuro-ophthalmology. He stayed on faculty at Harvard Medical School for seven years teaching microsurgery techniques, and authored several publications. A dedicated learner, he studied public health at Johns Hopkins and healthcare finance at Wharton.
