As a general practitioner, Dr. Yoo has been interested in animal ophthalmology and has been performing cataract surgery on dogs since 1986. He started an animal ophthalmology service in Fresno because many eye problems require immediate attention and no such service was available in this area.

At first, Dr. Yoo learned his cataract techniques from a prominent local human ophthalmologist. He further pursued animal ophthalmology studies through seminars and continuing education courses at the University of Florida School of Veterinary Medicine. Many of his skills were learned through independent study. Dr. Yoo is not a board certified ophthalmologist, however, his talent and knowledge have been serving local pet owners for over ten years.

Dr. Yoo still devotes himself to keeping current on the newest information and to learning new techniques for use on his patients . He is committed to performing perfect ocular surgery for every patient.

Our hospital's ophthalmic facility has the latest and most complete line of ocular surgical and diagnostic equipment in this area. These include:

• Weck operating microscope
• Microsurgical instruments
• KOWA SL14 slit lamp
• Indirect ophthalmoscope
• Gionoprism
• AMO Diplomax phacoemulsification unit (for cataract surgery)
• Mentor tonopen (to check for glaucoma)
• Frigitronics CE-2000 Cryosurgical System (for freezing procedures)
• Computerized electroretinograph (ERG)

Dr. Yoo and his staff are available for any scheduled or emergency ocular procedures.
