Ophthalmologist and Glaucoma Specialist

Dr. Ping Huang is an ophthalmologist with more than 20 years of clinical experience and is dedicated to providing all her valued patients highest quality eye care. Besides being a comprehensive ophthalmologist, Dr. Ping Huang is also an experienced glaucoma specialist and cataract surgeon.

Dr. Ping Huang provides care for medical and surgical glaucoma, as well as for cataracts and complex combined cataract and glaucoma surgeries. She performs anterior segment laser treatment including secondary cataract and glaucoma laser, cataract phacoemulsification surgery, small incision cataract surgery, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery with faster recovery (iStent, Trabectome, Canaloplasty, Viscocanalostomy, etc), cyclophotocoagulation, and traditional glaucoma surgery including Trabeculectomy and Glaucoma Drainage Implants. She has completed thousands of complex cataract and glaucoma surgeries. She is also a certified trainer of the Trabectome procedure.

Dr. Ping Huang completed two full ophthalmology residency training, one in Beijing China and one in the US. After her first residency and glaucoma training in China, she had practiced as a glaucoma specialist at the Department of Ophthalmology of Peking University Third Hospital (aka Peking University Eye Center), which is a major tertiary-care referral center for north China. She was also an associate professor of Peking University Eye Center, Peking University Health Science Center, one of the most competitive and internationally respected medical colleges in China. In 2008, she received an award of international glaucoma fellowship funding from ICO (International Council of Ophthalmology) to attend the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary with Professor Ritch for advanced training in glaucoma. In 2010, Dr. Huang was selected by the Chinese Ministry of Health as a senior expert in the Health Express charity project to perform cataract surgery and provide training to local doctors.

After moving to the US, Dr. Huang devoted her time to the clinical research of glaucoma and cornea at Doheny Eye Institute of UCLA, which further strengthened her knowledge and drove her to stay current with the latest treatments and provide excellent patient care. Then with all the enthusiasm for ophthalmology, she completed her second ophthalmology residency training in Northwell Health Eye Institute, New York.

She has published over 50 scientific articles in peer-reviewed ophthalmology journals and has lectured and presented her research at national and international meetings, including Germany, France, Korea, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Greece, and China. She has been awarded the prestigious “Best Paper of Session” award at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery annual meeting in 2016. Dr. Huang is a member of several medical associations including the American Academy of Ophthalmology, The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, and the Chinese American Ophthalmological Society.

Where Were You Born & Raised?

I was born in Bryn Mawr and grew up in Chester County, Pennsylvania with my parents, sister, and our German Shepherd’s Lucky and Gunner.

What is Your Favorite Part About Being an Optometrist?

What I enjoy most about my profession is the opportunity to provide clear and comfortable vision to my patients. Sight is a fundamental right for everyone, and being able to take part in this mission is such a rewarding experience.

What is Your Favorite Thing to Do Outside of Work?

Well I definitely like being outdoors. I’m usually either golfing, hiking, or swimming down at the shore.
