    Dr. Mok's initial exposure to eye care started when she was a young child, when she realized that she could actually see the leaves on the trees after obtaining her first pair of glasses.  She grew up locally in Southern California, attending St. Joseph High School in Lakewood.  She began to think about a career in medicine during this time and during her undergraduate studies at UCLA, where she graduated cum laude with a B.S. in Psychobiology. Dr. Mok attended medical school at Georgetown University, and then decided to return to California to complete an internship in Internal Medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.She then moved to Chicago to train at the University of Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary for her ophthalmology residency.  During that time, she realized that she wished to specialize even further, and continued training at the University of California, Irvine, to complete a fellowship in Oculoplastics and Neuro-ophthalmology.  During her fellowship, she gained additional experience in medical and surgical treatments for patients with eyelid disorders, eyelid reconstruction, thyroid disease, strokes, and other neurological conditions which can affect eyesight.  Dr. Mok also performs cosmetic procedures such as upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), and is skilled in the use of Botox for both cosmetic and medical (i.e. for eyelid and facial spasms). She  has extensive experience in injecting soft-tissue fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, and Sculptra.  She has presented posters and papers at international ophthalmological meetings, and since joining Eye Treatment Center in 2005 she has served as a primary or sub-investigator in multiple cutting-edge clinical research trials. Dr. Mok was eager to return to the Southern California community that she grew up in, and is committed to her patients and to the area.  In her current practice, she is also a skilled cataract surgeon well-versed in pterygium, small-incision cataract surgery and premium intraocular lens technology.  Dr. Mok has been named by her peers to the Super Doctors® Rising Stars list for the second year in a row.  Currently, she is serving as Chair for the Department of Ophthalmology at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center.  She enjoys spending time with her husband and their two sons, traveling, running, and reading.Dr. Audrey Mok is a board-certified ophthalmologist whose clinical and surgical expertise is focused on Oculoplastics and Neuroophthalmology. She strives to bring her patients excellent and compassionate care. Dr. Mok is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Optic Nerve Atrophy.

    What is the definition of Optic Nerve Atrophy?

    Methylmalonic acidemia is a condition in which the body cannot break down certain proteins and fats. The result is a buildup of a substance called methylmalonic acid in the blood. This condition is passed down through families.

    It is one of several conditions called an "inborn error of metabolism."

    When should I see an Optic Nerve Atrophy doctor near Lakewood, CA?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing an Optic Nerve Atrophy doctor near Lakewood, CA?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Optic Nerve Atrophy doctors near Lakewood, CA?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Optic Nerve Atrophy doctors near Lakewood, CA?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with an Optic Nerve Atrophy doctor near Lakewood, CA?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Optic Nerve Atrophy doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Optic Nerve Atrophy doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with an Optic Nerve Atrophy doctor near Lakewood, CA?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Optic Nerve Atrophy doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Optic Nerve Atrophy doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Optic Nerve Atrophy doctors near Lakewood, CA?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Optic Nerve Atrophy doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find an Optic Nerve Atrophy doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Optic Nerve Atrophy doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
