Warden Optometry Dr. Yan Ling Liang started wearing glasses at age 11 while living in Guangzhou, China. However, her love of optometry didn’t begin until she started looking for contact lenses while living in Toronto, Canada.
Dr. Liang studied Biomedical Science and Doctor of Optometry at the University of Waterloo. After graduation, she practiced Optometry in Edmonton, Alberta, and Thornhill, and Brampton Ontario, before starting her own practice right here in Markham in 2012.
Dr. Liang has an interest caring for children with myopia, vision therapy and post concussion management for all ages.
Dr. Liang’s passion for children’s vision care led her to become an Eye See Eye Learn program provider, and ambassador for Ontario Association of Optometrist, as well as speaking on children’s vision for Chinese Family Services.
Her concern for a child with crossed eyes (strabismus), led her to continuing her optometry training to become a neuro-developmental Optometrist.
She is now able to coach children and adults through vision thearpy to improve their eye-brain development and coordination. This can help them with myopia control, improve gaze fixation, eye teaming, focusing, visual thinking, and visual memory for sports vision, post-concussion treatment, crossed eye, lazy eyes, ADD, and learning related vision disorders.
Dr. Liang had also spent time as a clinical assessor for optometry school graduates, licensing optometrists to practice in Canada.
Dr. Liang volunteers with Ontario Association of Optometrist, Toronto Trillium Lions Club, Yorkville Exotic Cars and WWF Canada. Dr. Liang is a firm believer that resident and corporate involvement both build up strength and wellness of the local community.
She is a mentor for Optician co-op students from Georgian College and Seneca College. She's also a clinical preceptor for fourth year students in University of Waterloo Optometry school in their community clinical rotations.
Dr. Liang is fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin and English.
