Dr. Hannah Wong

Dr. Wong was born in Hong Kong, immigrating to Canada with her family when she was nine years old. She is fluent in both Chinese (Cantonese) and English. At age ten she got her first pair of glasses and ever since that time her goal was to pursue a career in eye care. During her high school years, she held various jobs in vision care, including a position as a frame stylist and working as a lab technician edging glasses. Throughout her university career, she worked in ocular research, performing eye dissections and studying aberrations of the visual system. During her final year of study, she completed an ocular pharmaceutical and disease externship at The Eye Institute in New Port Richie, Florida. In 2002 she underwent LASIK to correct her myopia and astigmatism. The procedure was a great success and she is happy to say she is still free of corrective lenses and has better than 20/20 vision.

Dr. Wong graduated with honours from the University of Waterloo in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science and a Doctorate of Optometry. She received the Essilor Award of Excellence in Optics upon graduation. She joined the practice of Dr. DiBerardino and Dr. Rutyna in 2001 and has been part of the Orangeville Optometrists eye care team ever since.

Dr. Wong is married with two young daughters. She has now returned to full-time practise since the birth of her second daughter in August 2010.
