About Me

Dr. Yong Kam is a board-certified anterior segment surgeon with specialized expertise in advanced cataract, cornea, and refractive surgery. He focuses on restoring clear, comfortable vision using modern lens technology and procedures such as EVO ICL for patients who are not LASIK candidates. Patients value his careful measurements, detailed counseling about options, and steady hands in the operating room.

A Kansas City native, Dr. Kam completed his ophthalmology residency at the University of Kansas Medical Center after earning his MD and BS at the University of Kansas.
