About
Patients who visit Dr. Ly Nguyen’s office say she is a wonderful doctor;
some say she is one of the most skilled ophthalmologist serving the
Kissimmee and Saint Cloud communities. Her eyes beam with gratitude
when her patients tell her that she is a caring person who takes the time
to listen and get to know them personally. Dr Nguyen says “I have seen
tens of thousands of cases but each patient's life story is unique, and I can
still remember the details of most of my patients.”
Looking back on her life, many signs point to her path in the field
of ophthalmology. Growing up in the countryside in Vietnam, she
developed night blindness due to malnutrition. While she was still
in college at Brown University, her father developed cataracts at an
earlier age due to the harsh sun as a longline fisherman. These personal
experience shape Dr. Nguyen’s passion and mission in helping her
patients see better.
As a board-certified ophthalmologist, Dr. Nguyen specializes in cataract,
oculoplastic, and minimally-invasive glaucoma surgery. Her residency
training at the University of Hawai'i School of Medicine and Rocky
Mountain Lions Eye Institute at University of Colorado has allowed Dr.
Nguyen to bring her surgical expertise and aloha spirit to her private
practice, Eye Florida. Her practice's number one goal is on delivering
exceptional personalized eye care for the whole family.
While she is not operating or running her private practice, she is
dedicated to giving back to her community. She contributes as Chief of
Surgery at Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital and as previous member
of the Board of Trustee for St. Cloud Regional Medical Center. She
is a co-founding member of the An Bang Professional, a non-profit
organization committed to providing financial assistance to promising
high school graduates and underserved communities in the United States
and aboard. She believes in sharing her time and knowledge to aspire the
next generation of young professionals. Two of her University of Central
Florida College of Medicine mentees were recently selected to present a
research paper at the Women in Ophthalmology Annual Meeting 2020
titled, “Postoperative outcome of cataract surgery with history of diabetes
mellitus and socioeconomic status.”
When asked to share some memorable cases in her career Dr. Nguyen
spoke about a case with a young mother who was legally blind due to
mature cataracts and insurance delays. By the time this young mother was
referred to Dr. Nguyen many had feared that her sight was permanently
lost. Dr. Nguyen performed the cataract surgery and soon after recovery,
the mother was able to see! When she came to see Dr. Nguyen, she was
filled with tears of joy and now could see her young son’s face and watch
him grow up.
“We often take our gift of sight for granted and experiences like these help
me get through some of the tough days.” Says Dr. Nguyen.
