The Eye-Q Podcast Episode 038: Eye on Kids: The Top 3 Vision Issues in Infants and Children
In this episode of The Eye-Q Podcast, I speak with Dr. Rupa Wong about the essentials of pediatric eye health. We cover amblyopia (“lazy eye”), the myopia epidemic, and groundbreaking treatments like low-dose atropine drops, specialized contact lenses, and even VR headsets. We also dive into screen time rules every parent should know and why early diagnosis makes all the difference for lifelong vision.

She has been featured on the Best Doctors Lists since 2010. She also serves as Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Hawaii School of Medicine. She is the co-founder of Pinnacle, an innovative medical education company. She is active on several committees of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus. In addition, she serves on the Board of Directors of Make-A-Wish Hawaii and Big Brothers Big Sisters Hawaii.
