Katherine Xie

Dr. Katherine Xie (pronounced “sh-yeh”) grew up in the San Gabriel Valley. She went to UCLA for her undergraduate education and graduated with a B.S. in Human Biology and Society in 2018. Having worn glasses since 2nd grade and loving all her eye exams, Dr. Xie knew she wanted to be an optometrist since high school. She decided to move to the Bay Area for optometry school at UC Berkeley and graduated in 2022. In optometry school, her training included interning at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Veterans Affairs in Miami, and an ophthalmology practice in New Jersey.

She missed the southern Californian sunshine and is now back in Los Angeles. When she’s not giving eye exams, she’s out looking for the best boba spots, lifting at the gym, or napping with her cat.

Dr. Xie’s goal is to make eye exams a pleasant experience and have you leave feeling educated and confident about your vision.
