Your skin isn’t the only thing that needs sun protection—your eyes do too!
Extended UV exposure can increase the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.

🎉 Happy Birthday to the incredible Dr. Wong! 🥳

Dr. Wong is not only a skilled optometrist with a passion for myopia control—using orthokeratology, multifocal lenses, and atropine—but he’s also one of the kindest and most compassionate providers you’ll ever meet.

A proud North Carolina native and UNC Chapel Hill alum (go Heels! 👣), Dr. Wong blends his background in Biomedical Engineering with his optometric expertise from Southern California College of Optometry to offer top-tier, thoughtful care to every patient. He’s fluent in more than just vision—he can also do exams in Spanish, Mandarin, and Cantonese without much translation, ensuring patients from all backgrounds feel heard and understood.

Outside the office, Dr. Wong is just as impressive. Whether he’s coding apps, lifting weights, exploring new destinations, or jamming out at music festivals (Coachella is his favorite 🎶), he brings curiosity, energy, and creativity to everything he does.

We’re so grateful to have a doctor on our team who leads with heart and intelligence in equal measure. Please join us in celebrating Dr. Wong today! 💙👓🎂
