San Jose Eye Institute

Our cataract surgery utilizes advanced phacoemulsification and intraocular lens technology to restore clear vision. Patients receive personalized consultations to select lenses like multifocal or toric options. With over 50 years of combined surgeon experience, we ensure precise outcomes using systems like the ORA for real-time adjustments.

We employ Cirrus HD-OCT technology for early glaucoma detection and monitoring. Treatment plans include medicated drops, laser therapy, and surgical interventions tailored to individual needs. Our approach focuses on preventing nerve damage through proactive management and patient education about risk factors.

Our dry eye specialists diagnose underlying causes like meibomian gland dysfunction or autoimmune conditions. Treatment options include prescription drops, punctal plugs, and lifestyle modifications. We emphasize long-term relief through customized care plans developed during comprehensive consultations.

We offer premium lenses like Vivity, Eyhance, and Symfony for cataract patients. Surgeons explain benefits of monofocal, multifocal, and toric lenses during detailed consultations. Our technology ensures precise implantation for optimal visual outcomes at various distances.

Comprehensive exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions affecting vision. We use digital imaging and OCT scans for early disease detection. Patients receive clear explanations of findings and recommendations for corrective or therapeutic interventions.

Dr. Decker founded San Jose Eye Institute in 1974 after completing ophthalmology training at University of Illinois. A Stanford clinical professor for 50+ years, he has performed thousands of surgeries globally through Christian Eye Ministries.

Dr. Yang graduated from Stanford Medical School in 1994. His engineering background enhances his expertise in advanced cataract surgery techniques. He specializes in guiding patients through complex intraocular lens choices for optimal visual outcomes.

We offer monofocal, multifocal, toric, and extended depth-of-focus lenses like Vivity and Symfony. Surgeons explain each option's benefits during consultations to match your lifestyle needs.

Undergo pre-operative measurements to determine lens power. Discuss current medications with our team. Most patients receive mild sedation and topical anesthesia during the 15-minute outpatient procedure.

We provide medicated drops, selective laser trabeculoplasty, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries. Treatment plans focus on lowering intraocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage.

We accept most major medical insurance plans for eye disease treatment. Cataract surgery is typically covered, while premium lens upgrades may involve additional out-of-pocket costs.

Treatment options include artificial tears, prescription drops like Restasis, punctal plugs, and LipiFlow thermal therapy for meibomian gland dysfunction. We develop personalized plans based on underlying causes.

Most cataract surgery patients resume light activities within 24-48 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise for one week. Full visual stabilization typically occurs within four weeks post-surgery.

Dr yang and his staff are consummate professionals, and besides that, they're just plain, warm people. Everyone in his office is kind and engaging. I had both eyes operated on for cataracts, and both came out perfect. The facility where the operations take place are equally professional and caring. Dr yang has a cute sense of humor and his assistants are warm, engaging and thoughtful. I would certainly recommend Dr. Yang and crew to anyone considering cataract surgery.

I have been going to San Jose Eye institute for almost 2 years. Dr. Yang and his staffs are professional and friendly. Dr, Yang explained the exam result clear and answered all the questions. Highly recommended!

I had cataract surgery by another eye surgeon 3 years ago and did not go with the plan for the other eye since I had a minor complication. I went to see Dr George Yang and I nearly cried with gratitude since Dr Yang can fix my vision. His office has digital charting, updated equipment and a very friendly, competent staff. Dr Yang used another staffer to scribe my eye exam, a real plus in my opinion. Andy the technician was very upbeat, delightful and very skilled.

I work in health care and I can tell you that I was very impressed with the entire office. I am very pleased Dr Yang is now my ophthalmologist. He was most informative and responded to all my questions and concerns. So grateful for the referral.

Absolutely bad service not from Yang but his receptionist. I have been having issues with driving at night so made an appointment to be examined. I called last month and was told I would be seen on July 15. So I showed up on 7/15 and phoned from the parking lot per signage on the door. I informed the receptionist I was there for my appointment (my Dr had sent a referral over - about my night vision issue).

After being put on hold for 5 minutes she comes back online to tell me my appointment isn't until next year as Dr Yang said he would see me in 2 years at my last appointment. I informed the receptionist the reason for my appointment was a new issue! She said she would get back to me within the next two days and of course never called on Friday. I think Dr Yang and Dr Decker need to know of the shoddy service given to their patients as it does affect us! I took a day off work for that appointment! :(

I recently had cataract surgery on both eyes with Dr. Yang and as everyone else has written about him- I think he is the best! He is very caring and was able to share his knowledge about my issues in a way that was very understandable. Because I had had 2 previous eye surgeries- ALK- a million years ago and Lasik a while ago- he explained that my eyes may not be corrected as well as they could be.

I am very happy with the results and his professionalism and expertise throughout the exams and procedures I also have to say how wonderful Andy is! He is upbeat and skilled at his job and I will miss my interactions with him. He was very patient with me and helped calm my nerves before the different tests. I cannot say enough good things about him. I found the staff to be friendly and very helpful. I felt safe and cared for at the surgery center both times and want to acknowledge the awesome nurses that I had on both visits

I have been with Dr. Yang for more than 5 years, I couldn't be more happy working with him and his team (everyone at the clinic is amazing, especially Andy) to take care of me. Dr Yang is truly the most amazing doctor; he is compassionate, intelligent, and treats the whole being (emotional, mental and physical). I am really grateful to have him as my doctor.
