Dr. Wonderling was named “Young Optometrist of the Year” in Wisconsin in 2007 by the Wisconsin Optometric Association and American Optometric Association. This award is presented to one outstanding doctor each year that has been in practice for less than ten years. The award recognizes the doctor’s exceptional service to optometry, dedication to the visual welfare of the public and service to the community.

One of only four optometrists in the state of Wisconsin who have completed a residency in vision therapy and pediatric optometry, and one of only seven optometrists in Wisconsin to be a Fellow in the College of Optometrists in Vision Development, Dr. Wonderling sees patients at Family Vision Center for routine eye care and owns Vision Therapy Academy.
