Steven R Young Ocularist

Lost my eye in 2008 while coaching baseball. My eye is totally blue/​gray now and my good eye is brown. After talking with my Opthamologist at Kaiser, she referred me to Steve. First appointment today went very well. Steve and his assistant are very professional, thorough and caring as well as he has a great reputation. and I cannot wait to receive my new eye in a few months.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a listing for Steve who is an ocularist (a medical technician who makes and fits prosthetic eyes.) I have been a patient of his for the past 24 ½ years after having my right eye enucliated because of end stage glaucoma or because it was a blind painful eye. His office is no frills with some magazines to look at in the waiting room and the back room. However, the front room where all of the work is done has a TV which he has going all of the time; last time I was there, it was court shows as he is into that sort of thing and Cops which I happen top love myself.
Anyhow, I digress. He is a wonderful man who is very thorough in the fitting, making, and painting of prosthetic eyes, sclaral shells (worn over the eye like a contact lens for eyes that are disfigured but not requiring enucliation,) and maxilla facial prosthetics. He will spend as much time as needed with you to ensure a perfect fit and paint job alike. His wife, Renae, is a doll; zealously taking care of authorizations and other insurance matters and scheduling appointments and is just all around nice as she is the first and only person that you will speak to on the phone and see when you arrive.
Another good thing is that there are a lot of good restaurants, attractions, and hotels for locals and especially out-​of-​towners; his web site is full of them, except for restaurants which he is happy to recommend. Take it from me, he is one of the best ocularists around. Regardless of where you live, it is well worth the drive to Steve.
