The Clinical Foundation
Dr. Mark Cheung is a double-alumnus of the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned both his undergraduate degree in Integrative Biology and his Doctorate of Optometry. He furthered his clinical expertise through a residency in primary care and geriatrics at the West LA VA, following rotations at Bascom Palmer, the Miami VA, and Tripler Army Medical Center / VA in Honolulu. This background in high-complexity environments shaped his commitment to rigorous, detail-oriented patient care.

Philosophy & Practice
As the owner of Clear Point Optometry, Dr. Cheung operates on a deliberate roadmap: mastering the essential pillars of eye care before expanding. He prioritizes quality over volume, focusing on the "Karma of Service"—the belief that providing thorough, high-integrity care is the only sustainable way to build a practice. In addition to his private practice, he serves as a clinician at the Southern California Eye Institute, where he contributes to the ongoing development of modern optometric standards.
Personal
A Bakersfield resident, Dr. Cheung is an extensive global traveler and an avid supporter of Cal Athletics. When he is away from the office, he spends his time outdoors with his wife, Eileen, and their two sons, Ethan and Miles.
