Hsiao-Yi (Eileen) Yang

Passionate about the field of eyecare, I bring over 7 years of experience as a dedicated and patient-focused optometrist. My strong background in eyecare has equipped me with the skills to develop engaging and informative content specifically tailored for the eyecare industry. With proven expertise in conducting comprehensive eye exams, diagnosing and managing ocular diseases, and providing pre- and post-operative care for both children and adults, I am well-versed in delivering high-quality patient care. Throughout my career, I have successfully collaborated with large healthcare corporations, working closely with marketing teams and product sales representatives to create impactful content. Building trusting relationships with patients and their families is a priority for me, as I believe that comfort and optimal care are essential for positive outcomes. I am now seeking opportunities to leverage my writing skills and clinical knowledge to advance patient education and improve outcomes within the healthcare field.
