YoYo | Lead Optometrist | License No. 003309
A graduate of Yuanpei University of Medical Technology and a national-certified licensed optometrist (License No. 003309), YoYo is a lecturer for the New Taipei City Optometrists Association and an advisor to the New Taipei City Optometric Technicians Association. As the lead optometrist at Beyond Visual Optometry × BiYang Optometry Clinic (Xinzhuang), YoYo specializes in clinical vision exams, binocular vision assessment, progressive lens fitting, children's myopia tracking, and RGP hard contact lens fitting, working at an authorized ZEISS dealer.
Beyond Visual Optometry was founded by the family in Banqiao in 1992 — a local eyewear store of more than 30 years that has served over ten thousand local customers. YoYo grew up in the family business, and after completing national optometrist training, took the lead independently, bringing a complete clinical eye-exam standard process into the BiYang Optometry Clinic in Xinzhuang.
Every vision-health article on this site is written or reviewed by Optometrist YoYo, based on clinical optometry practice and optical principles, with no exaggerated claims. Where abnormal vision is found, or vision cannot be corrected to normal, we refer to an ophthalmologist in accordance with the Optometrists Act.
Clinical Optometry Specialties
Full Clinical Vision Exam
A complete 45–60 minute process: subjective and objective refraction, binocular vision assessment, and vertex distance measurement, to find the real cause of vision issues.
Progressive Multifocal Lenses
ZEISS Individual² custom fitting, precise pantoscopic tilt correction, and adaptation follow-up to reduce dizziness and adaptation failure.
Children's Myopia Tracking
Regular tracking of prescription changes every 3–6 months and defocus-lens fitting assessment, monitoring the myopia trend together with parents.
High Myopia Precision Fitting
Vertex distance correction for -6.00D and above, and 1.74 ultra-thin lens selection, balancing visual quality and wearing comfort.
RGP Hard Contact Lenses
Rigid contact lens fitting and regular follow-up, suited to high astigmatism and special corneal conditions.

From Every Walk of Life
to the Difficult Cases
Over years of clinical fitting, YoYo has served people across every profession — from tech-industry engineers and business owners to professionals who use their eyes intensively for long hours; also including complex refractive needs, difficult binocular coordination, and post-refractive-surgery vision changes that call for careful fitting. Where eye-health assessment is involved, follow-up is co-managed with an ophthalmologist.
Every viewing pattern and every hard-to-solve vision problem adds to the depth of fitting skill. That's why we believe a vision exam can't just measure a prescription — it has to understand how you use your eyes.
