Dr. Christine Yeung
Having been near-sighted since her teenage years, Dr. Yeung has always had a special interest in one day becoming glasses-free again. When the Paragon CRT Ortho-K lenses were first FDA approved in 2002, she was one of the first to begin wearing them under research trials at the University of Waterloo Centre for Contact Lens Research. Since opening her practice at Oakville Eye Care, she has been fitting hundreds of patients with orthokeratology lenses and helping them to regain the freedom of being glasses-free for over 15 years. Further to that, Dr. Yeung has been able to help a number of children now in reducing their progression of myopia (nearsightedness).
It is my passion to help children regain control of their vision. Whether it is to be glasses-free for sports or better quality of life; or to know that they are doing everything they can to prevent their near-sightedness from worsening. To see the faces and confidence the children demonstrate after ortho-k treatment is priceless!
Dr. Yeung graduated from the University of Waterloo in 2005 with honours status. Following her passion for myopia management, she has attained her fellowship in the International Academy of Orthokeratology and Myopia Control (FIAOMC). She is an long-time member of the American Academy of Orthokeratology and Myopia Control (formerly the Orthokeratology Academy of America). She consistently attends the AAOMC’s annual Vision By Design conference to stay primed on the latest research in orthokeratology and myopia control. Further to that, she has completed the Brien Holden Vision Institute Myopia Academy and Myopia Profile Academy. She is a member of the Global Council of Myopia Management and was in attendance at the Inaugural GCOMM conference in 2019. Outside of the clinic, Dr. Yeung is very active in the volunteering in the community. Working closely as a member of the Toronto Trillium Lions Club and Halton Region Chinese Canadian Association.
