Dr. Hom has over 25+ years of medical optometric eye care. For the last
four years, he has served as the Coordinator, Primary Care Optometry, San Mateo Medical Center. Despite the California Optometry therapeutic legislation, Dr. Hom has

medical and social consequences of effective organizational
competency in serving patients requiring cultural and language
appropriate services (CLAS). He lectures to medical
professionals on this subject and plans and initiates projects for
organizations and private practices seeking better exposure to these
populations.
Not only is Dr. Hom an expert in medical optometry, he is also a talented contact lens and low vision practitioner. He was an In house consultant for three (3) Kaiser medical centers ("Golden Gate Customer Service Center") fitting post surgical and keratoconic and partially sighted patients.
He has also
