Meet Beautiful Georgina Lopez, Our Featured Patient Of The Week: Georgina was only 12 years old when she was referred to my office by Dr. Sheldon Nankin 20 years ago. Having had 2 major eye surgeries and coming in with a +19.00 Diopter prescription, her eyeglasses were extremely thick and heavy.
I immediately put her into a 3rd generation gas permeable lens that could take in the full amount of correction. After re-designing her GP lenses twice, we finally had a very successful fitting!
Fast forward 21 years and we now see Georgina still wearing her contact lenses beautifully... only now she is in our 7th generation gas permeable "Dream Lens."
The "Dream Lens" allows her to have all day comfort and lets her pass her important vision test at the DMV. The smile on her face last week when we saw her for her yearly exam tells it all.
Thank you Georgina, and please thank your brother and sister who also came to our office as patients all those many years ago. Here at the Lyon Contact Lens Center, we are in our 5th decade of fitting patients who could never wear contact lenses before!
Call us, it will be a blessing to us to serve you and your loved ones as the holiday seasons are approaching!

Meet 2 Year Old Jackie Diaz, Our Youngest Patient And His Beautiful Mom Julie:
Jackie was born with a cataract in his left eye which did not allow light to pe*****te in order for him to be able to see. At the age of 6 months, Jackie had the cataract surgically removed and was fitted into Gas Permeable rigid lens with a refractive power of +20.00 Diopters in order to bring sight and clarity into his left eye.
Jackie over time has adapted beautifully with his lens, and just as an aside, a normal magnifying glass has the power of +5.00 Diopters...just imagine a 2 year old doing so well with a contact that has 4 x the strength of a magnifying glass!
We took this picture with Jackie and his mom earlier this week when he came in to pick up his new lens. His mom Julie inserts the lens every morning and removes the lens at night so that Jackie's vision can remain stable.
We thank you Julie, and your husband J.D. for giving us the opportunity to be a blessing to your beautiful little boy. We'll see you guys back in 6 months for Jackie's next evaluation...

A lifetime of science, precision and continual learning has allowed us to offer you the ultimate contact lens experience!

Imagine the awesome power and influence of a custom made contact lens! In many cases today's lenses can change someone's life and even change lifestyles. If properly fitted, contact lenses can provide much sharper vision than eyeglasses or lasik surgery!

As we continue to develop and re-invent new technologies for our hard-to-fit patients, we welcome you to call our office if you're in need of new appointment, or wish to schedule a family member to our office as a first time patient.

Meet Kevin Cortez From Woodlands, Texas, Our Featured Patient Of The Week: Our Kevin is legally blind because of a rare corneal dystrophy that had severely scarred both of his eyes when we first met 6 years ago. After mapping Kevin's eyes, I fitted him into a -15.50 diopter lens for for his right eye that would mask the scarring and allow acceptable vision.
His left eye required a "Piggy Back" combination: a soft bandage lens to protect the cornea along with a Gas Permeable rigid lens that would fit right over the soft lens to provide the vision that Kevin desperately needed. This combination is allowing Kevin to see a solid 20/20 in his left eye!
Although Kevin has moved away to Texas, he is one of 15% of our patients who either live out of state, or out of the country and still come to see us yearly for their contact lens exams and upgrades.
By introducing lens designs that are considered "outside the box" our patients have been able to experience life changing blessings on a daily basis... This for many decades has been our calling for our patients and our work of love for you.
Kevin, you are 1 man with 2 eyes and need 3 contact lenses in order to continue to see clearly in your profession as a teacher and educator. Thank you Kevin... for your faith and trust in us. We will always be here for you when you need us!

Did You Know That Our Office Specializes In Custom Made Lenses For Our Patients Who Are Legally Blind: Over 15% of our patient base come to see us every year because they have numerous vision problems and issues. Imagine seeing blurry to the point that you are helpless, and cannot see in front of you, or to be able to drive a car at night.

High optical aberrations, severe astigmatism, progressive myopia, and scarred corneas are only 4 of the many reasons why the lenses that we custom design can help patients who simply cannot see with ordinary eyeglasses and soft lenses.

The example in this picture above is how many of our patients with a progressive eye disease called "Keratoconus" require our help. Many wonderful ophthalmologists here in Southern California refer their Keratoconus patients to our office for this reason.

Keratoconus patients often exhibit very steep and irregular corneas. Corneas that protrude outwards which is why their vision cannot be corrected with eyeglasses. The only relief is to close their eyes to avoid seeing double and triple images.

The beauty of our specialty contact lenses that I have developed allows highly oxygen permeable rigid lenses to fit perfectly in front of the scarred cornea. In many cases, the vision improvement is miraculous and absolutely life changing!

Best of all, these lenses are very comfortable, and allow our patients with compromised vision to see clearly again... often times they are experiencing clear vision for the first time in years!
If you have friends or family members who simply cannot see clearly with their eyeglasses or contact lenses, please feel free to have them contact my office. We offer a free screening as a courtesy to everyone who may require our services!

Meet Rev. Ross Purdy, Our Featured Patient Of The Week: Ross and I have a very long history together. It was way back in the 1980's when he was in his early 20's working his way through school as a bank teller at the Bank of America in La Habra, California. Having never worn contact lenses before, Ross had sensitive eyes and very tight eyelids which would have made ordinary contact lenses almost impossible to wear.After mapping his eyes, we custom made a 5th generation Gas Permeable lens that fitted perfectly over his corneas and provided excellent 20/20 vision with total comfort. Ross was thrilled with his new lenses and couldn't be happier with the outcome.Fast forward to just yesterday, when we saw Ross for his yearly exam. It's been over 35 years since we first fitted Ross, and believe me, he still doesn't look a day over 40! He now wears our bifocal lens program, where he can see clearly in both distance and near, when he's reading his bible and teaching God's Word in front of his congregation at La Canada Presbyterian Church.Thank you Ross, for the many years you have blessed our office both as a patient and a friend. We also thank you for the 45 mile drive... often times in bumper to bumper traffic sto see us for your yearly exams. Here at the Lyon Contact Lens Center, we could never do the things we do without your love and support!To find out more about Rev. Dr. Ross Purdy's ministry at La Canada Presbyterian Church, please click the link below: www.lacanadapc.org

Meet Tyler Buchanan, Our Featured Patient Of The Week: Tyler was only 20 when we fit him into his contact lenses. His original eye doctor tried to fit him into old style soft lenses that were too thick, and never corrected his astigmatism.

So Tyler asked people at his church, Calvary Chapel of Corona and Pastor Ron Clagle if they knew what to do and where to go. Pastor Ron immediately sent Tyler to see us for his initial contact lens exam.

Less than an hour later Tyler was leaving our office with perfect 20/20 vision and total comfort! Tyler was so happy with his lenses that he decided to do a short video for us about his lens experience.

Fast forward two years, and we now see Tyler who is now is now in bible college in Hawaii. With his faith and wonderful outgoing personality, we know God will do an awesome work in Tyler's life.

Thank you Tyler, for being such a great patient here at our office. We'll look forward to next summer when you'll be back at home seeing friends and family, and seeing us to maintain your your clear vision and healthy eyes...

Embracing Our Legacy While Celebrating 50 Years. Our strength has always been our diversity. Every patient has a story to tell.

Whether it's a 5 year old who wears custom lenses for medical/ therapeutic reasons, all the way to our active seniors who depend on their contact lenses to see clearly in order to drive a car, occasionally play golf, or to read their bible with total clarity.

At our office we will always find a purpose, a new development, or a specific lens program in order to take your contact lens performance to the next level of clarity, comfort, and eye health.

For the past 50 years, I have absolutely been blessed by the relationships we have developed with all of our patients... both young and old.

Over these many years, so many of you are my friends, and I will always know you and your families by name. In return I am humbled by your love and trust in me, and my work of love for you.

With God's help and guidance, I will commit my very best to all of you and your families for many more years to come.

With my warmest thanks,

Bill Lyon and Staff

Meet Jan Stackhouse, Our Featured Patient Of The Week: Jan is only one of many thousands of our patients who require custom-made lenses that we designed for her by "Mapping" her eyes to formulate a totally custom made lens!

In the case of Jan who has a -10.00 Diopter vision correction, severe astigmatism and a need for bifocals, these lenses we custom made for Jan to provide clear vision and total comfort!

Did you know that over 50% of our patient base require these highly specialized custom made lenses? We design and develop these lenses in order to provide the clarity of sight that ordinary contacts and eyeglasses cannot provide.

This is one of the many reasons why 15% of our patient base return to our office yearly for their exams, even though they live out of state or even out of the country!

Over the past 40 years, we have developed numerous formulas through years of trials and research on our patients to come up with these very unique oxygen permeable lenses that fit perfectly over the cornea of our patients.

For those with extreme astigmatism, we have special "Bitoric Lenses" that can perfectly drape over the cornea without rotation to provide crisp and clear 20/20 vision with total comfort and eye-health.

For those who have very sensitive and dry eyes, I developed our very unique "Micro-Thin" lens design. A lens which is 5 times smaller than a soft lens. These are lenses that center perfectly over the pupil to maximize comfort and vision.

We are a multi-generational office, with patients as young as 5 years of age for medical/ therapeutic vision needs, through our wonderful teen patients, adults who need bifocals and are in front of a computer 8 hours a day, and to our active seniors who enjoy playing golf, tennis, or simply need to see clearly to pass their vision test at the DMV.

For all of you and your families, we continue to be blessed and inspired by your love and support for us. We promise to always provide you with state of the art designs, materials and techniques balanced in a gentle and loving office environment.

Yours very truly,

Bill Lyon and Staff
