Bio
Natalie Nguyen, OD, took a Bachelor of Science in biology from The College of New Jersey, then trained as an optometrist at SUNY College of Optometry, where the school-year emphasis fell on pediatric and rehabilitative care. A residency year followed at Ezra Medical Center, at SUNY College of Optometry, and at the practice that hired Dr. Nguyen at the end of it, in 2018.
The clinical scope covers the medical side of cataract and refractive surgery, along with retina, cornea, glaucoma, pediatric, oculoplastic, and neuro-ophthalmic care. That range suits a practice built around subspecialty referral, where the same patient may need a surgical opinion, a pressure check, and a plan for follow-up in one visit. Training in rehabilitative care carries into work with patients whose vision cannot be fully corrected.
Dr. Nguyen practices as a board-certified optometrist and is fluent in Spanish and Vietnamese. In Dr. Nguyen's own words, "A visit works best when the explanation lands, so I switch to Spanish or Vietnamese the moment it helps. Most of what I do is catching a change early and making sure the next step is clear before anyone leaves." Patients can visit Dr. Nguyen at Omni Eye Services in Iselin, New Jersey.
