About Dr. Pauline Leong
Having practiced optometry for twenty years, my experience spans comprehensive eye exams, contact lens fittings, pediatrics, ocular pathology, refractive surgery co-management, and other general vision needs. I earned my Doctor of Optometry from the State University of New York and hold a Bachelor's degree from William & Mary. My passion for the field has grown and expanded to include a love of natural approaches to eye care and whole-body wellness. I believe my personal story of restoring my own health organically has taught me that the state of one's being is a systemic relationship involving the mind, body, and spirit. This understanding allows me to gain deeper insight into how to treat and manage conditions related to the eyes and beyond. Almost two decades of dedication to vision care has truly been a blessing, and I share that gratitude with every patient who comes through. I am thankful to be able to serve our community and to provide in a meaningful way.
Thank you for supporting local businesses!
