About Melissa M. Wong
Dr. Wong is a board certified ophthalmologist and a fellowship-trained pediatric ophthalmologist and adult strabismologist. She sees patients from one week old to one-hundred-and-one years old. She has extensive experience in the treatment of all pediatric eye diseases including amblyopia, glaucoma, cataracts, strabismus (eye misalignment), and retinopathy of prematurity. She helps manage complex double vision issues in people of all ages, with the use of prism and/or strabismus surgery when necessary. Additionally, she also specializes in adjustable suture strabismus surgery, allowing for post-operative titration of eye alignment. She is also available for general ophthalmology and routine eye care.
