About Me

Dr. Tony Y. Chen is a board-certified ophthalmologist who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases. He sees adults with symptoms such as flashes, floaters, blurred or distorted vision, and sudden vision loss, and tailors care using evidence-based medical and laser therapies. His clinical approach emphasizes careful examination, clear communication about treatment options, and timely follow-up to safeguard vision.

Dr. Chen earned his MD in 2017 and completed ophthalmology residency in 2021, followed by a fellowship in vitreoretinal surgery. He enjoys collaborating with referring optometrists and primary-care clinicians to coordinate care for conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusions.
