Ivy Lin, O.D.

Ivy Lin, O.D. received her Bachelor of Science degree in Psychobiology at UCLA in 1998. She graduated from Pacific University in 2003, having earned her Doctor of Optometry degree after completing externships at Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, along with others specializing in pediatric eye care and vision therapy. Shortly thereafter, she co-authored a study on the Acuvue Bifocal contact lens that was published in Optometry, the Journal of the American Optometric Association.

Dr. Lin served on the board of the Orange County Optometric Society for several years, previously served as their liaison for the California Vision Foundation, and is the editor of their newsletter. She is affiliated with the Beta Sigma Kappa Honor Society, Orange County Optometric Society, California Optometric Association, and the American Optometric Association, and has participated in various community health fairs and Special Olympics vision health screenings.

In her free time, Dr. Lin enjoys live music, beautiful art and architecture, and traveling abroad. She and her husband especially enjoy spending time outdoors and going to Disneyland with their two teenage children. Dr. Lin has a deep love for charity, and is a longstanding member of the Fullerton chapter of the National Charity League, regularly volunteering for Meals on Wheels and Crittenton Foster Care.

Dr. Lin speaks Mandarin and Spanish fluently, and welcomes the opportunity to help patients who may be uncomfortable communicating their needs in English otherwise. Her goal is to provide clear, comfortable vision for patients and their families, with an emphasis on good patient education and preventative eyecare in a friendly environment. She enjoys the daily experience of meeting new people and greeting familiar ones, and hopes that is reflected in your visit to our offices.
