Dr. Tina Cheng is not your everyday eye doctor. A graduate of the top ranked University of California Berkeley School of Optometry and a veteran of a challenging low vision, primary care, ocular disease and rehabilitation residency, she brings a unique blend of professional expertise and personal charisma to Bliss Optometry. Her expertise, enriched by a Genetics degree and Master’s program in Molecular and Cellular Biology, along with specialized training in academic and biotech research, training and teaching at five Veteran Hospitals, working in a non-profit grass roots community health clinic for the underserved as well as a renowned Beverly Hills surgical center with Hollywood elite celebrities, positions her as a well-rounded eye health expert in our practice. She is equipped with an insightful blend of academic knowledge and clinical skills.

Combining her passions for education, holistic wellness, intuitive and analytical problem solving, as well as hands-on creativity, Dr. Cheng is a true medical detective and Renaissance woman, developing solutions outside of the box. Whether she’s giving tips and life hacks during procedures, sharing tales of her adventures with her son, cat, and dog, or discussing her latest longevity discovery, her vibrant personality is a breath of fresh air in the clinic. Her approach to eye care is much like her approach to life: dynamic, meticulous, conscious, optimized, and always with a touch of flair.

“I love the opportunity to meet people one on one, discover how I can positively make an impact and what I can learn. Each day, I feel privileged to gaze into the windows of the soul and see the story they tell, forge connections, hear someone’s journey, and share an experience.

A lifelong learner and educator who speaks Chinese and Medical Spanish, an avid animal and ocean lover, with a knack for intuitive knowing and healing, Dr. Cheng embodies diversity and compassion. Her philosophy? Everyone is both a teacher and a student at the same time with something valuable to share. Treat each patient with the care and honesty of a family member, combined with a commitment to continuous learning and innovation.

At Bliss Optometry, Dr. Cheng doesn’t just work with eyes; she builds relationships, crafts comprehensive unique solutions, and brings a special energy that resonates well beyond the exam chair.
