Veasna Ma
Growing up in Long Beach and finishing her Biology degree at the University of California, Los Angeles, Dr. Veasna Ma pursued the field of eye care. She graduated from The New England College of Optometry in 2006. Her interest in applying to Optometry began at the age of 7, when she failed her school screening vision test. She was afraid to take the note to her parents to let them know that she had ‘failed’ something in school. Her father immediately took her to an optometrist in downtown Los Angeles to be examined and fit for glasses. Although her first pair of spectacles were huge pink plastic, Sally Jesse Raphael look-a-like glasses, it made all the difference to her education in school.
Dr. Ma values the importance of having her patients see the world clearly, whether you are 7 or 70. She hopes that through educating patients on the importance of annual eye exams, they will understand that ocular health is necessary in order to maintain one’s vision.
