Specialty and Comprehensive Ophthalmic Care

Sophia Wong, MD

Board-Certified Ophthalmologist and Retinal Surgeon

Welcome! I'm Dr. Sophia Wong, and I created Beacon Retina to provide a more comprehensive and integrative approach to eye care, all with the goal of optimizing your long-term vision potential.

I'm a board-certified ophthalmologist additionally trained in retinal diseases and vitreoretinal surgery, with over ten years of experience in managing complex eye problems. However, beyond treating your existing ocular condition, I believe in looking to the future and proactively maximizing your visual health to protect your eyesight for years to come.

We accomplish this by utilizing the advanced technological tools that we have at our disposal, as well as providing ample physician time and communication to thoroughly analyze your overall eye health and systemic health. We aim to provide leading care for lasting vision.

Beacon Retina is a membership-based practice designed to prioritize your health, respect your time, and eliminate the frustrations common in traditional eye care. Our patients invest in extended exam and communication services beyond what is covered by insurance. A membership fee is charged for non-covered services, and insurance is billed for covered services.

To maintain exceptional service, membership is limited. Once the cap is reached, we will utilize a waitlist.

 

This subscription style of healthcare, with a focus on prevention and health maintenance, has been trusted for decades by high-level executives. You, too, deserve this caliber of care for your visual health.

What are the benefits of membership?

As part of our commitment to health maintenance and disease prevention, we provide the Beacon Insight Profile, an extensive, in-depth assessment covering the front to the back of the eye. This is a 360-degree view that includes advanced diagnostic tests not typically performed at a regular eye visit. Its purpose is to detect invisible signs of eye disease and allow us to act early and maximize your long-term vision potential.

If you have an eye condition that requires ongoing care, and you value a proactive approach with direct communication in a comfortable setting, then Beacon Retina can help you.
