Dr. Eunmi Esther Chae, O.D.
Dr. Chae graduated with Cum Laude from U.C.L.A., earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychobiology in 1989. She received her Doctor of Optometry degree from U.C. Berkeley School of Optometry in 1993. Dr. Chae is a recipient of the Health Professional Student Scholarship, and is a member of Beta Sigma Kappa International Optometric Honor Fraternity. She is certified to treat eye diseases with therapeutic eye medications. Dr. Chae performs eye exams in English, Korean, and Spanish.
Dr. Chae is originally from South Korea. Her father had business around the world, and she lived in Hong Kong, Iran, and New York before she called Los Angeles her home since age 14.
Since young age, Dr. Chae has always had an interest in the health field. Thanks to her perfect 20/20 sight that she always had, she was unaware of the optometry profession until she was a sophomore at U.C.L.A.! Dr. Chae was greatly inspired by a story of a female optometrist whom she read about in a community paper. She finds it rewarding to correct patients’ vision using her skills and knowledge, as well as to improve their appearance and self-confidence with the perfect eyewear for each individual.
Dr. Chae is married to a devoted minister. Together, they serve in a local church in Downtown, Los Angeles where her husband is the senior pastor.
