Dr. Thazin (Jayne) Aung
Dr. Thazin (Jayne) Aung was born in Myanmar and moved to Boston with her family when she was ten years old. Her family escaped the cold and settled in the Bay Area and she began high school in Fremont. She later met her husband, a fellow banana slug, at UC Santa Cruz. She continued her graduate studies at the Illinois College of Optometry and graduated with honors in 2014.
Dr. Aung recently married her husband James, and returned to Fremont following graduate school. Dr. Aung is dedicated to serving each patient personally, offering individualized care through patient education as she believes an informed patient is essential for the best management of their eye health.
Dr. Aung has been diagnosing and managing ocular diseases, including glaucoma, macular degeneration, and vascular/diabetic retinal diseases. Dr. Aung is most interested in preventative eye care and contact lenses, and is a certified practitioner of Orthokeratology, to help reduce the progression of myopia in young children. She is also skilled in fitting specialty lenses for patients with different corneal conditions such as Keratoconus, irregular astigmatism, and status post penetrating keratoplasty.
Dr. Aung’s nickname is Noodleface as she is always in search of a delicious bowl of spicy noodle soup in the Bay Area. She loves watching football and enjoys hiking. She looks forward to serving you and your family members.
Dr. Amy Zheng
Dr. Amy Zheng's interest in optometry began after she failed a school vision screening and received her first pair of glasses in third grade. Experiencing firsthand how clearer vision could transform her daily life sparked a lifelong passion for eye care. Later, while working as an optician during college, she discovered how rewarding it was to help people see better and knew she wanted to become an optometrist.
Dr. Zheng attended UCLA before earning her Doctor of Optometry degree from the UC Berkeley School of Optometry. She then completed an advanced Cornea and Contact Lens Residency at The Ohio State University, where she received specialized training in corneal disease, specialty contact lenses, and myopia management. During her residency, she gave continuing education lectures, presented posters at national meetings including the Global Specialty Lens Symposium (GSLS) and the American Academy of Optometry, authored clinical case reports, and taught optometry students in both classroom and clinical settings. Her clinical interests include fitting specialty contact lenses including scleral, rigid gas permeable (RGP), orthokeratology (Ortho-K), hybrid, and custom soft lenses. She is currently a candidate for Fellowship in the American Academy of Optometry (FAAO), reflecting her commitment to lifelong learning, clinical excellence, and providing the highest standard of patient care.
Outside the office, Dr. Zheng enjoys traveling, exploring new restaurants, hiking, and spending time with family and friends. As a Bay Area native from Castro Valley, she is excited to be back home serving the community at Palo Alto Eye Optometry. She looks forward to building lasting relationships with her patients and providing personalized, compassionate eye care tailored to each individual's needs.
