About Dr. Huang
Dr. Rae Huang, OD, MS, IACMM
I’m an optometrist in Newton and South Boston focused on one idea: it’s better to prevent eye problems than to keep correcting them. I specialize in myopia control and ortho-k for kids, custom specialty contact lenses, and advanced dry eye care.
Why prevention?
I knew I wanted to be an eye doctor by age 12. I grew up around eye research, spending afternoons in a Boston research lab looking at corneal cells under the microscope.
I was nearsighted from age 8, and my prescription got worse every year until I started wearing ortho-k lenses in optometry school. It stopped my progression, but I wished someone had started it when I was a child. That’s why I’m so passionate about myopia control for kids today, including my own three children.
I write this blog because families deserve clear, science-based eye care information they can trust.
