Erick Auyoung, O.D.
Meet Dr. Erick Auyoung: Personalized, Patient-Centered Eye Care
Attentive and helpful, Dr. Erick Auyoung tailors his exams and prescriptions to match each patient’s individual needs, and effectively communicates with his patients to make sure they have all their concerns addressed and questions answered.
He strives for all of his patients to understand their own eye health and to be involved in formulating their own treatment plan. Dr. Auyoung recognizes that what works for one patient does not necessarily work for someone else, from choosing the best types of glasses or contact lenses for each patient’s unique work or lifestyle requirements, to going over the advantages and disadvantages of treatments that could include additional health testing, eye drops, or even surgery.
His particular interests are in primary eye care, geriatrics, and ocular disease co-management.
He received his Bachelor’s degree in Molecular and Cell Biology, with Neurobiology Emphasis, from the University of California at Berkeley and obtained his Doctor of Optometry degree from the New England College of Optometry in Boston. He was previously a civilian optometrist on base at Fort Lewis and McChord AFB. In his spare time, Dr. Auyoung enjoys writing, following up on current events, taking road trips, and attending hockey games.
