His 20+ years of research and clinical practice allowed him to discover key factors in both vision health and healing, which he used to treat age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye disease, myopia, astigmatism, amblyopia, and viral optic neuritis.

Dr. Yu has practiced Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine in Belgium, Canada, US and China and he is a Licensed Acupuncturist in the State of California, US. He’s also the author of 30+ publications in both Chinese and English medical literature.
