Dr. Hung D. Mac attended San Jose State University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Art degree in Biochemistry in 2000. In 2004, he earned his Doctor of Optometry degree from the Southern California College of Optometry. He received Cum Laude honors at both insitutions. Dr. Mac then completed a prestigious Residency in Cornea and Contact Lens at the Southern California College of Optometry, which involved specialty contact lens fitting and management of complex cases, including keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, corneal refractive therapy (CRT), pediatrics and ocular prosthetics.
