Dr. Jonathan Young

Dr. Jonathan Young is a glaucoma specialist who brings a commitment to excellence to every patient's path to clearer sight. As a Portland native, he is highly recommended by his residency and fellowship directors. He recently completed a prestigious glaucoma fellowship at the Stein Eye Institute at UCLA, following residency training at Casey Eye, medical school at UCLA, and undergraduate studies at Reed College.

Through his training, Dr. Young has received numerous academic and research awards and has published articles in journals such as Science and the Journal of Glaucoma. He strives to develop personal connections with his patients, stating, "I went into Ophthalmology because it gives me great satisfaction to help people maintain their quality of life and function." His clinical interests include optimizing surgical glaucoma outcomes, fellowship teaching, and actively participating in clinical research.

Dr. Young also offers refractive lens exchange (RLE) for patients seeking an alternative to LASIK or those with age-related vision changes like presbyopia. This advanced surgical option can reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses by replacing the eye's natural lens with a premium intraocular lens tailored to each patient's needs. Away from medicine, he is a dedicated husband and father who enjoys recreational sports such as Ultimate Frisbee, snowboarding, and tennis.
