Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with artificial ones to restore clear vision. We use laser-assisted technology for enhanced precision, faster recovery, and optimal outcomes. This procedure addresses glare, halos, and vision loss, improving quality of life for patients with cataracts.
Glaucoma Procedures
Our glaucoma treatments include advanced diagnostics and therapies to protect optic nerve health. Options range from medications and laser therapy (SLT) to Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS). Early detection through OCT scans and visual field tests ensures timely intervention to prevent vision loss.
Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eye treatment addresses symptoms like burning and redness through personalized plans. We offer artificial tears, prescription anti-inflammatory drops, and eyelid hygiene solutions. Advanced procedures target underlying causes, ensuring lasting relief and improved ocular surface health for long-term comfort.
Macular Degeneration Treatment
We provide cutting-edge care for macular degeneration, including the FDA-cleared Valeda Light Delivery System for dry AMD. Wet AMD treatments involve anti-VEGF injections and laser therapy. Regular monitoring with OCT and fundus photography helps preserve central vision and slow disease progression.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Annual comprehensive eye exams evaluate visual acuity, refractive errors, and ocular health. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we screen for cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and macular degeneration. These exams ensure early detection of conditions and accurate prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses.

I have been a patient of Dr. Wu for over 25 years and I have been extremely satisfied with his skills, knowledge, medical expertise, and respect. I would recommend the Pasadena Eye Medical physicians; they are the best. Gerry

I waited an hour to be seen, I love Dr. Yu, but my appointment then took an additional hour. I finished after 2 hours and the parking was $10. I had made my appointment a year ago, and think waiting that long is very poor scheduling.

Report
During my most recent visit, this caring, extremely efficient and professional office was busier than I have ever seen it. As in the past, Dr. Yu's staff never dropped the ball, but showed their concern for each and every patient. When my turn came, I was examined and each step was explained and my questions clarified. I still think they are the best.

Dr. Yu is the best, so kind and professional. Takes time and explains everything so you understand what is happening with your eyes. Have been going to Dr. Yu for many years and would highly recommend Pasadena Eye Medical. The staff is very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

Report
Sometimes a slight wait to be seen but front desk staff and Drs are top notch. I would not think of going anywhere else. I started with Dr Wu and moved onto another doctor as she approached retirement. Both doctors were fantastic, taking enough time to answer any questions or concerns and extremely competent. The last time the doctor (who is very thorough) seemed somewhat brisk and rushed. I have all the confidence in the world in him. Just would have appreciated a friendlier approach.
