Optometry is a health care profession that involves examining the eyes and applicable visual systems for defects or abnormalities, as well as diagnosing and managing eye disease. Optometrists are healthcare professionals who provide primary eye care through comprehensive eye examinations to detect and treat various visual abnormalities and eye diseases such as diabetes, glaucoma, macula degeneration, dry eye, and other autoimmune and systemic diseases. As an optometrists I co-manage with other health care professionals as well as ophthalmologist for surgical eye procedures.
On a more personal note, Dr. Miyasaka is the Founder and President of WUCO Athletics LLC (www.WUCOAthletics.com) , Menehune Sports Foundation, and Menehune Basketball Hawaii (www.MenehuneBasketball.com).
Menehune Basketball was a semi-pro Asian-American basketball club. It was started in California and has spread back to Hawaii, with both Men and Women teams. In Hawaii the program grew to an adult basketball league that spreads all over Oahu. The players of Menehune Basketball Team compete in various leagues and tournaments nationally, and are affiliated with Menehune Sports Foundation, Prime Time Basketball Association in California, and PTBA Youth.
In his free time, Dr. Miyasaka enjoys exercising, playing basketball, and eating at local Kaimuki restaurants. He also has 3 dogs (WUCO, Nubblet, and Cookie Monster) that he rescued off the streets of Southern California and now raises them on the beautiful beaches in Hawaii. He named his sports apparel and equipment company after one of his dogs named WUCO. He also enjoys taking out and spending time with his family and hopefully one day can be there basketball coach just like how his Dad was to him growing up. He also sponsors local events and gym supplies for the city and county like new basketball rims, new basketballs for the kids, uniforms, Easter Egg hunts, Halloween candy hunts and costume contests, and a Christmas toy drive event at Kapiolani Children Hospital. He first learned how to play basketball in the City and County Parks so he does his best to give back to where his love and passion for basketball first began.
