Born and raised in San Diego, CA, Dr. Yoon received his bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley. After working and finding that engineering wasn’t quite the perfect fit, he pursued a newfound interest at the SUNY College of Optometry, where he was president of the Student Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity (SVOSH) chapter and a member of the Gold Key International Optometric Honor Society.
Dr. Yoon completed his clinical training in New York City at Compton Eye Associates, SUNY’s Specialty Contact Lens clinic, and Gouverneur Health, followed by an optional one-year residency with the VA New Jersey Health Care System. He is passionate about comprehensive eye care, myopia control, and managing various conditions, including dry eye, eyelid infections, acute red eyes, cataract, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and keratoconus. He has experience fitting all types of contact lenses, including soft, astigmatic, multifocal, hybrid, corneal/scleral gas-permeable (GP), and orthokeratology lenses.
In his leisure time, Dr. Yoon enjoys discovering good food & coffee, exploring with his camera, relaxing with TV shows or video games, and spending time with his wife Emily. He also loves dogs and is honored to bring his services to the West Orange community.
