Dear Doctors, 

I am a California licensed optometrist certified in therapeutic, lacrimal, glaucoma treatment and Paragon CRT.  I am currently seeking a part time or full time associate position at a private practice providing primary and contact lens eye care.  I believe my clinical and educational experiences will be beneficial to your practice. 

Currently, I am completing a low vision and primary care residency at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Palo Alto, where I have had the opportunity of seeing many challenging patients.  I have also gained experience fitting specialty contact lenses on complicated patients (e.g., keratoconus, status post radial keratotomy, and pellucid marginal degeneration).  Additionally, at the Veterans Affairs hospital, I have been known for my excellent communication skills with patients and staff.   

I am a native of Southern California.  I attended UCLA for my B.S. in physiological science and graduated with honors from SCCO for my doctor of optometry degree.  In my spare time I enjoy participating in sports, photography, and cooking.  I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to send you my curriculum vitae and would be very interested to speak with you concerning a possible position.  Please feel free to contact me at (323) 842-5155 or by email at viet.ly.od@gmail.com.  Thank you very much for your time and consideration. 

Very truly yours, 

Vietnam Ly, O.D.
