✨ Wold Vision Seminar 2025 Recap ✨
Last month a few of us from our vision therapy team had the privilege of attending the Wold Vision Seminar in Southern California — and what an energizing experience it was! 🌴👁️
What made this seminar truly stand out was its workshop-driven approach. Instead of sitting through long didactic lectures, we spent most of our time in hands-on sessions, practicing procedures, sharing clinical pearls, and refining the skills that make such a difference for our patients every day.
There’s something powerful about learning by doing — collaborating, troubleshooting, and exploring techniques in real time with passionate therapists and doctors from across the country. We came home inspired, refreshed, and excited to bring new tools and insights back to our patients and clinic.
Here’s to continued growth, connection, and better vision for all! 💡👓💙

🎉 That’s 3-0- Celebrating 30 Years of Transforming Lives Through Vision Care! 👁️💙
We are incredibly humbled and grateful as we celebrate 30 years of providing exceptional eye care to San Carlos and our Bay Area communities and beyond. This journey has been nothing short of transformative, not only for our patients but for all of us who have worked here as well. From Vision Therapy and Vision Rehabilitation to Myopia Control and Dry Eye Management, it’s been a privilege to be part of so many inspiring stories of change and healing.
We want to take a moment to thank the people who’ve came out to celebrate and made 30 years possible at Family Vision Care and Vision Therapy:
🌟 To our patients—thank you for trusting us with your vision and health. Every success story is a testament to your dedication and hard work, and we are honored to have been part of your journey.
🌟 To our families—thank you for your unwavering support. Your love and encouragement have kept each of us grounded through all the ups and downs.
🌟I personally couldn’t have kept at this without my family support—my mom who’s worked for me all her life, my husband who does an incredible job behind the scenes in our practice and our home, and to my kids who have grown up helping at FVC & VT and have made me so proud of them.
🌟 To our incredible team—my partner Cynthia Huang, our past and current associate doctors, team directors, office integrator, patient care coordinators, opticians, vision therapists, interns, and referral sources-thank you for your expertise, commitment, vision and passion. You make every day brighter and help us to provide the best care possible to those who need it.
Together, we’ve worked to improve lives and help people see a brighter future. Here’s to our future and continuing to make a difference and impacting thousands more to see optimally for school, work, sports, and life!

📚💨 Struggling with slow reading or eye fatigue? It might not be your focus—it might be your eyes.
If you find yourself re-reading lines, losing focus, or feeling tired after just a few pages, you’re not alone. Many people experience eye misalignment, a subtle issue that can cause:
👉 Headaches
👉 Eye strain
👉 Neck pain
👉 And yes—slower reading speed
That’s where Neurolens® comes in. These revolutionary lenses use contoured prism technology to bring your eyes back into comfortable alignment—especially during near work like reading and screen time.
💡 Studies show that correcting misalignment with Neurolens can lead to:
✅ Faster reading
✅ Better comprehension
✅ Improved focus
✅ Less fatigue
📖 Ready to turn the page on discomfort and boost your reading speed? Ask us about a Neurolens evaluation today.

We’re dedicated to helping our patients look and feel their best—starting with healthy, comfortable eyes. Dry eye can be a frustrating condition, leading to discomfort, redness, and irritation that can impact your daily life. But did you know we offer advanced treatments, including Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, to address these symptoms and improve your overall eye health?
IPL therapy is a game-changer for patients with chronic dry eye. By targeting the root cause—meibomian gland dysfunction—it helps restore natural tear production, reduce inflammation, and relieve dryness. But that’s not all—IPL also rejuvenates the skin around your eyes, offering an added aesthetic boost that leaves you looking as good as you feel!
Want to see how easy and painless this procedure is? Watch Dr. Carole Hong perform IPL treatment on Dr. Julie Kim of Family Vision Care & Vision Therapy from start to finish in this time-lapse video. It’s quick, comfortable, and highly effective!
What’s even better? You can use your Flex Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) funds to cover IPL services. It’s a smart way to invest in your eye health and overall wellness before the year ends.
If you’re tired of struggling with dry eye or want to learn more about our treatments, schedule a consultation with our team. We’re here to help you see, feel, and look your best!

The Optometric Center for Family Vision Care and Vision Therapy has been dedicated to serving communities through out Northern California since the 1950’s. It started as the business of father and son, Frank and Stuart Mann, and was located at 1234 Cherry Street where thousands of families have come to improve their lives through vision. In 2017, Dr. Hong moved FVC&VT to 57 El Camino Real where were are able to serve more patients and provide a wonderful experience at each visit.
Our new logo tells the story of our vision, mission and pledge to our patients. It was inspired by our long-time vision to improve the lives of those we serve by helping them to succeed with optimal vision for school, work, sports and life. Our mission is to help our patients see, look and feel their best— because when a person sees clearly, has healthy eyes, and optimal visual skills, then they can live to their fullest potential.
Meticulous thought went into each element of the logo. For instance, can you find the dragon fly, dolphin or puzzle piece? The dragon fly symbolizes transformation and adaptability in life. Through our work in vision/rehabilitation and specialty contact lenses, we transform lives.
The dolphin’s playful nature is a reminder to approach life with humor and joy. Dolphins are highly intelligent, peaceful and gentle, yet have great inner strength. Like the dolphin, our office values having fun while working, while protecting and ensuring safety and good health. The puzzle piece represents our patients who have special needs and shows our support for them, their families, and their successes.
The colors were also picked with meaning, to replicate the human eye and many of our core values. The inner hazel-yellow ring represents happiness and hope, green- sage for care, balance, and growth, and blues of the sea and sky, for trust, loyalty and wisdom.
We’re here to ensure that our patients have healthy eyes and optimal visual skills necessary when playing, learning, traveling, working, creating, or exploring and enjoying life. Please visit our website at www.familyvisioncare.org for more info on doctors, hours, and available treatment options. We look forward to serving you!
