Our Team

Dr. Deborah Duan feels incredibly fortunate to care for the community she grew up in. Raised in the San Gabriel Valley, she enjoys seeing familiar faces in the exam room and building lasting relationships with the families and neighbors who make this area feel like home.

She studied at UCLA and Stanford before earning her Doctor of Optometry degree from the Southern California College of Optometry, graduating as class salutatorian. She then completed an ocular disease residency, gaining advanced training in diagnosing and managing complex eye conditions.

Originally trained in structural engineering, Dr. Duan brings a thoughtful, analytical approach to every exam, carefully investigating the details of vision and eye health to ensure nothing is overlooked. . Her clinical interests include dry eye treatment, geriatric eye care, and ocular disease management, with a focus on thorough, proactive care that protects vision over the long term.

Dr. Duan serves as a board member of the San Gabriel Valley Optometric Society and is a member of the Asian Optometric Society, where she enjoys supporting her profession and advocating for eye health in the community.

At the heart of her work is a simple goal: to create a place where patients feel comfortable, cared for, and confident in their eye health, a place where families return year after year.

Outside the Office

When she’s not in the clinic, Dr. Duan enjoys yoga and Pilates, international travel, and weekend excursions with her family. These days, many of those adventures involve exploring Southern California with her 2 young kids, discovering parks, new restaurants, and small moments of joy close to home.
