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

50 years ago, I prayed for a purpose in my life. A simple way to honor God and be put into a position of service to others. Quite simply, I do believe that God heard my voice and he put me here with you!

We have been blessed to bring the gift of sight over the years to both young and old: From Pastor Chuck Smith and his daughter Cheryl Brodersen as patients for over 20 years.

Greg Laurie heard about us through Pastor Chuck and has also been a patient for 25 years, as has Raul Ries who has been with us for 30 years! Even my partner in crime: Pastor Skip Heitzig all the way in Albuquerque has been a patient for over 45 years!

Technology has changed tremendously over the past 50 years, but the one constant that will never change is our love for God, and to be a blessing and example for all who come through our doors.

Our motto has always been to be a gentle and loving office environment balanced with state of the art contact lens designs, materials, and techniques.

Our work is still not done. There is so much more to do, as 15% of our patients are legally blind without contact lens correction, close to 20% of our patients come to see us yearly even though they live out of state.

We also have numerous pediatric patients under the age of 10 who require contact lenses for therapeutic /medical need purposes, all the way to our wonderful geriatric patients between ages 85-95 who need contact lenses to pass the driving test at the DMV.

Until God decides otherwise, my office will always be open to you and your family and friends who require our services. It has been an incredible 50 years, and with His wisdom and guidance may there be many more years yet to come...

Meet Cesar Avila, Our Featured Patient Of The Week: Cesar is a wonderful young man and has a beautiful story full of encouragement and promise.
He was referred to our office by his friend Randall Tovar who also happens to be a patient here at our office!
Having had contacts before that didn't work out, we started Cesar with a 5th generation soft astigmatic lens with Hi-Definition capabilities.
These new lenses not only gave Cesar total comfort and freedom in a world without eyeglasses, we were able to get Cesar 20/15 vision in both eyes... even better than 20/20!
Thank you Cesar as you have started your 3rd year as a patient at our office. Here at the Lyon Contact Lens Center, we could never do the things we do without your love and support!

Meet David And Philip Kim, David Came From Boston And The Philip Came From Dallas For Their Yearly Appointments: I've known these boys for over 33 years, as I used to see them as teenagers playing pickup games of basketball at Calvary Chapel's blacktop courts. Their mom Helen called and said that both boys were severely nearsighted with astigmatism. Could they wear contacts? They both adapted to their 5th generation custom "Air-Lenses" beautifully!
Fast forward 33 years, and we see both boys who have now turned into godly men, who are love their families and so very much love our god they serve so well. Although they both live out of state, they are like the 15% of our patients who live out of state, or live out of the country but need to have their custom lenses I designed for them serviced yearly.
So much has happened in the past 33 years. I took this pic with them 10 years ago and matched it up with this newest one we took during their exam just last week. As for their parents, John and Helen Kim: With God's help and your love and devotion, you have raised two incredible men! I'm blessed to have all of you as friends of our office!
Here at the Lyon Contact Lens Center, we could never do the things we do without your love and support. Over the past 50 years we have had the honor of making a difference in the lives of our patients through the wonderful gift of sight!

Meet Ella Freimann, Our Featured Patient Of The Week: Ella first came to our office at the age 10 with a prescription of +9.50 and +9.00. That was five years ago. Immediately with her new contact lenses, Ella was able to adapt to her contact lenses perfectly.
Just today, we saw her as a beautiful young lady of 15... ready to get her drivers license from the DMV.
With her new lenses, Our Ella can see a solid 20/20 in her right eye, and can even achieve an incredible 20/15 in her left eye... even better than 20/20!
One day she can even fly an airplane. All she'll have to do is take lessons first! Thank you Ella, and your mom Erin for the years you have blessed our office as a patient and a friend.
Here at the Lyon Contact Lens Center, we could never do the things we do without your trust and support!

Lyon Contact Lens Center Gave Me Back My Eyesight: My name is Susan Washington, and I've been a contact lens patient of Dr. Lyon for over 20 years. During that time I moved to Pasadena but still drove to see Dr. Lyon yearly.

I was preparing for cataract surgery and chose a doctor close to my home. Unfortunately he could not seem to fit me in soft contacts. I was having horrible headaches for 2 weeks and couldn't see well enough to drive my car.

I called Dr. Lyon who was 50 miles away from home, and he scheduled an appointment to see me right away. After his exam, he was able to fit me into his new Hi-Definition soft lenses that gave me back my vision.

More importantly the freedom to see clearly again was such a miracle, as I was able to see a solid 20/25 vision with both eyes together!
I was back to driving again with no more headaches! Thank you Dr. Lyon, I appreciate you!

Thank you Susan, for the many years you have blessed us as both a patient and a friend. Here at the Lyon Contact Lens Center, we could never do the things we do without your love and support...

Fighting To See... His Story Is Unbelievable, But True...I actually got emotional putting this story together, but I got through it ok:

Meet One Of My Heroes, His name is Hector Martinez, my friend and long time patient. In the past 20 years, Hector and I with God's help and an army of surgeons have enabled him to receive and maintain "The Gift Of Sight."

Our Hector has had numerous cornea
transplants that did not take hold, glaucoma, detached retina, cataract surgery and subsequent implant.

Hector's latest combination in order for him to see is that he still has 2 eyes, 3 corneas and 3 contact lenses (2 external and 1 internal), along with a myriad of eyedrops to relieve the internal pressure in his eyes, and steroid drops to stop his cornea from being rejected again.

NOW FOR THE BEST NEWS OF ALL: Hector along with his wife Barbara have raised 6 amazing kids... all college graduates. In this photo, they presently have 11 grandchildren with more on the way.

How does a man who came from Mexico as a 7 year old not knowing the language, not knowing the culture and leaving the family that he left behind get to have such an amazing story while being partially sighted?

Only by the grace of God, and only in this noble experiment we call America can this happen. America, America, God Shed His Grace On Thee...

Thank you Hector, for the many years you have blessed our office as both a patient and a friend.

Here at the Lyon Contact Lens Center, we could neve do the things we do without your love and support through all these many years...

Meet Pastor Justin Orman And His Beautiful Family: Justin And I Started A Journey Together 21 Years Ago... He was only 17 at the time, and had been referred to my office by his mom, who still goes to his church along with his Uncle Warren, who now lives in Tennessee.
I saw Justin grow up from a young boy in eyeglasses to now being a godly man who has 4 beautiful children and a wonderful wife who has committed his life to serving the Lord and his fellow man.
Especially in times of today when we see young people going down the wrong path, it inspires me and brings me great confidence to know and see that there are millions of young people who love God, love their families and want to make a difference in the world we live in.
Thank you Justin for the many years you have blessed our office as both a patient and a friend!
Here at the Lyon Contact Lens Center, we could never do the things we do without your love and support!

Meet Tom Vogt, Our Featured Patient Of The Week: Tom is a 31 year veteran of our office. He first came to us in his 20's already having had hard lenses, gas permeable hard lenses, sleep-in soft lenses.
Who remembers the t.v. commercial for "permalens" the only soft lens you could sleep in for 30 days at a time? That was Tom! He couldn't see well with the soft lenses, and all hard lenses caused irritation and dryness.
Back then, he drove 30 miles from Redondo Beach, California to see if we could help him finally succeed with contact lenses! After mapping his eyes, I designed a 3rd generation "Gas Permeable" lens for Tom that would be much smaller and thinner than lenses that he had used in the past.
These new lenses were designed to center right over his corneas and provided perfect 20/20 vision with total all day and night comfort.
Fast forward 30+ years, and we now see Tom wearing his 7th generation "Air-Lens" design beautifully, as he is now in our bifocal program and can still see a perfect 20/20 distance and still read his bible up close.
Over the years, Tom has experienced every new generation of gas permeable lens we have offered to maximize his contact lens performance in both comfort and vision!
Thank you Tom, for the many years you have blessed our office as both a patient and as a friend. Here at the Lyon Contact Lens Center, we could never do the things we do without your love and support!

Meet Beautiful Bethany Gutierrez Rogers, Our Featured Patient Of The Week: Bethany was only 10 years old when she first came to my office with a +6.00 prescription in both eyes. Her 5th generation soft lenses back then were specially ordered in order to take the place of the thick and heavy eyeglasses she had worn since she was 2 years old!
Because she was so young and petite I had to order a special micro-thin soft lens that would be small enough to fit a 10 year old. Her outcome was outstanding! She was a real champ, and wore her contact lenses with total comfort and vision.
Fast forward 15 years, and we see our beautiful Bethany now wearing our latest 7th generation High-Definition soft lenses so well, we decided to do a short video on her success with contacts.
Over the years, her contact lenses have allowed her to have complete freedom in a world without thick and heavy eyeglasses! 5 years ago she graduated from her 4 year university, got her dream job at a prestigious law firm, and most recently even got married!
Thank you Bethany and please thank your parents Jose Luis and Lorena for all the years the 3 of you have blessed us with your love and friendship as patients and as friends. Here at the Lyon Contact Lens Center we could never do the things we do without your love and support.
