More about Dr. Valerie Lam, OD
Dr. Lam is passionate about treating vision problems that interfere with children’s ability to read, learn, and pay attention. Some common conditions that she treats are convergence insufficiency, reading difficulties including tracking problems, double vision, lazy eye (amblyopia), and crossed/wandering eyes (strabismus). She also treats vision problems that result from a traumatic head injury, surgery, or concussion. Dr. Lam provides non-surgical treatment to these conditions through Vision Therapy, a custom program of exercises to strengthen the eyes and brain to eliminate vision problems. She completed her Pediatrics and Vision Therapy residency at the Southern California College of Optometry, at Marshall B. Ketchum University. She then pursued her fellowship from the American Academy of Optometry and the College of Optometrists in Vision Development.
When I graduated from UC San Diego, I knew that I wanted to work in the healthcare field because I wanted a profession that was about serving other people. Optometry was the right fit because I get to help people love life through the way they see. I achieved my doctorate degree from the Southern California College of Optometry at Marshall B. Ketchum University where I got experience working in all types of settings including an Indian reservation (lived in the middle of the desert for 3 months!), low income schools, low vision clinics, and a surgery center. I completed a residency in Pediatrics and Vision Therapy at SCCO because I wanted to become an expert at treating children and helping them to overcome vision related learning problems that were causing them to struggle in school.
