Dr. Erica T. Liu, graduated with honors from the University of California, Berkeley, where she earned a double major in Neurobiology and Public Health. After an insightful career detour working in email marketing at Google, she returned to her passion for medicine and has never looked back.
She completed her medical degree at the University of California, Irvine, followed by an Ophthalmic Pathology and Research fellowship at the Moran Eye Center, University of Utah. Dr. Liu then pursued her Ophthalmology residency at Tufts Medical Center. Staying true to her Californian roots, she returned to the state for a rigorous fellowship in Cornea, External Disease, and Refractive Surgery at the Shiley Eye Institute, University of California, San Diego. Her training also included extensive trauma care at the University of New Mexico Hospitals and advanced refractive surgery training at the Navy Refractive Surgery Center.
Dr. Liu has always been dedicated to providing vision care to underserved communities, advocating for patient rights, and improving access to care. She has authored multiple book chapters and published extensively on advanced intraocular lens technologies and unique case reports in journals such as the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports, and Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Having undergone PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) herself over a decade ago due to her refractive correction needs and thinner corneal tissue, Dr. Liu knows firsthand the life-changing benefits of vision correction surgery. This personal experience fuels her passion for helping others achieve hassle-free, clear vision. To date, she has performed nearly 10,000 procedures and is excited to offer her patients the latest and most effective treatment options.
