February is Low Vision Awareness Month, and we've partnered with Dr. Vicky Wong to discuss the importance of low-vision tools and services.
Dr. Vicky Wong is a highly accomplished optometrist at Shady Grove Eye and Vision Care. A graduate with distinction from Nova Southeastern University College of Optometry and a member of the Golden Key Honor Society, she completed an ocular disease residency at the Lexington VA Medical Center with a focus on low vision.
Dr. Wong specializes in primary eye care, particularly myopia control and dry eye management, and is an active member of the American Optometric Association, contributing to the Vision Rehabilitation Section. She also serves as Chief Medical Officer of the Myopia Institute and writes patient education content for IntroWellness.
In addition to her professional roles, Dr. Wong is President of the Maryland Optometric Association’s first all-female Board and a founding member of Young ODs of America. Outside of work, she enjoys food, volleyball, and time with her family, including her two children and Pomeranian Maddox.
