Dry eye can be a frustrating condition, leading to discomfort, redness, and irritation that can impact your daily life.

Whatâs even better? You can use your Flex Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) funds to cover IPL services. Itâs a smart way to invest in your eye health and overall wellness before the year ends.

We are thrilled to share that Dr. Hong was interviewed and contributed to an article along with fellow CooperVision Best Practice Honoree Ashley McFerron, OD!
Dr. Hong is often asked by students and new practitioners how she is able to manage it all--run a successful practice, volunteer on committees and boards, raise successful kids and more. It's not easy, but with awesome staff, a supportive family and wonderful mentors and colleagues, she says it can be done!
This article, titled "What It Takes to Advance in the Optical Industry: 2 ODs Share How They Did It," delves into the part of her journey, which includes volunteering, successfully navigating, and advancing the eye care profession both here and abroad. It highlights key factors that contributed to her personal and professional growth.
A big thank you to the CooperVision team and Margery Weinstein, Editor-in-Chief, at Review of Optometric Business for this fantastic collaborative opportunity.
Dr. Hong says just say "yes" and step up to help grow your industry, whatever industry that may be. It will have a positive impact on both your personal and professional growth!
Industry participation that fosters a well-rounded and accomplished career. Learn how two ODs advanced in the optical industry.

The Optometric Center for Family Vision Care and Vision Therapy has been dedicated to serving communities through out Northern California since the 1950âs. 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 bestâ 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 dolphinâs 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.
Weâre 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!
