Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams assess visual acuity and ocular health using advanced diagnostic technology. We detect vision problems and eye diseases while updating prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses. The exams include detailed evaluations of eye coordination, focusing ability, and internal eye structures to ensure optimal vision health.
Myopia Control
Specialized myopia management treatments slow the progression of nearsightedness in children. We offer orthokeratology and multifocal contact lenses to reduce eye elongation. These evidence-based approaches help preserve long-term eye health while improving daily visual performance through customized treatment plans.
Emergency Eye Care
Immediate treatment for eye injuries, infections, and sudden vision changes during regular business hours. Our equipped facility handles foreign body removal, chemical exposure, and acute ocular conditions. Prompt intervention helps prevent permanent damage while ensuring appropriate follow-up care for optimal recovery.
Contact Lens Fittings
Personalized contact lens evaluations ensure proper fit and comfort for various vision needs. We offer daily disposables, multifocal lenses, and specialty options for astigmatism or keratoconus. Patients receive hands-on training and trial lenses to guarantee successful adaptation to their new vision correction method.
Dry Eye Treatments
Advanced solutions for chronic dry eye symptoms including artificial tears, prescription medications, and in-office procedures. We identify underlying causes through detailed tear film analysis.

Report
I used to see Dr. V until she moved. My family was so sad, but Kim the office manager said we would love Dr. Wong, and we did. She saw every member of my family from Preteen to elderly, all with different eye issues and concerns. We are very happy with the pratice. Miss Debbie in eyeglasses is so patient as she had 2 adults and a preteen at one time time trying to find different glasses all with different tastes.

This could be an eexcellent place BUT they are always trying to sell me what I don't need. Dr Gazierccomments that I shouldn't go to my ophthalmologist, and tries to give me extra tests at extra charges. He doesn't follow the scripts for prism readers recommended by my neuro ophthalmologist and yesterday tried to replace both lenses when the script said only one lens. This is not a one time occurrence as bills have been in error too.

Although I'm happy with the eye exams themselves, I find their glasses to be way overpriced even with my "great" vision insurance. I need to repeatedly ask for my prescription which is frustrating since it should automatically be given to me. Let customers decide for themselves if they want to buy your glasses.

Eschew all others! Shady Grove Eye & Vision Care blows them out of the water. Totally amazed at the care I received at SG Eye. I actually have HOPE again that I can wear contacts. Dr. Wong offered me solutions I was looking for and no one else believed in. I'm trying contacts again - custom made (who KNEW?), made for my astigmatism. I am SO impressed with this place, the words can't express. In short, you can't do better in the DC area. RUN to them!

Dr Lauren Rubin is THE BEST! She is the perfect blend of having a warm and friendly personality and being the consummate professional. My husband, kids and I are all patients. She makes us feel at ease, takes her time, and explains everything to us.
