Meet Grace Chiu And Her Sister Lillian, Our Featured Patients Of The Week: Grace lives in New York, and her sister Lilian lives in Placerville California, which is near Sacramento. Both sisters were teenagers when they first came to my office: Grace, 36 years ago, and Lillian, 38 years ago.
Over the years, I have watched these two beautiful ladies travel hundreds of miles each year for their annual appointments. Because of their complex prescriptions and sensitive eyes, I have had to custom make their lenses so they can see clearly at both distance and near.
They have also been able to experience every "new generation" of our "Air-Lens" designs to keep their lenses at maximum clarity for both comfort and vision.
Thank you Grace and Lillian, for the many years you have blessed us at our office as both patients and friends...
Here at the Lyon Contact Lens Center, we could never do the things we do without your love and support!

Meet 14 Year Old Valeria Zamora And Her Father Matias: Our beautiful Valeria had strabismus surgery on her lazy eye when she was only six years old. Since then, she always had to wear her thick and heavy eyeglasses.

Fast forward to earlier last week when we fit her into her new custom astigmatic soft lenses that can fully correct her to a solid 20/20 vision in both eyes with total comfort and all day wear!

Thank you, Valeria, and thank you to her parents Matias and Alejandra for allowing us to be a part of this wonderful success story for your daughter!

Here at the Lyon Contact Lens Center, we could never do the things we do without your love and support!

Meet Richard Crosby, Our 83 Year Young Patient Of The Week: Richard, a 25-year veteran of our office, is still doing beautifully with his 3rd generation Air-Lens I custom designed for him back in 2001.
Due to severe scarring to his corneas that he developed in his adult years, Richard could no longer see clearly with eyeglasses or ordinary soft lenses.
Our Air-Lens design allowed Richard to see a perfect 20/20 for over 20 years at our office until he developed cataracts in both eyes.
Once he had his cataracts removed and implants inserted we were able to fit him into contact lenses again!
Richard now wears permanent lenses inside his eyes and our contact lenses over his corneas, enabling him to see clearly at both distance and near.
Thank you Richard, 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 Veronica Torres Our Featured Patient Of The Week And Her Husband Gerardo: 40 years ago, Veronica had a very unsafe and hazardous procedure performed on her eyes. She was 20 years old at the time, and the surgical procedure was called "Radial Keratotomy" (R. K.) for short.

It consisted of a surgeon taking a scalpel and cutting into the cornea with incisions near the center part of the cornea and moving the incisions toward the cornea's outer ring.

These perforations remained as permanent scars that caused Veronica's cornea to flatten and bulge outward, which hopefully would improve her vision.

Poor Veronica ended up like millions of R.K. patients whose vision changed drastically because of this procedure.

Her vision worsened to the point that she tried to get eyeglasses and contact lenses to help improve her vision. Unfortunately the permanent scars from the procedure would prevent her from ever seeing clearly again.

Now for the good news: Fifteen years ago, Veronica visited my office to discuss improving her vision. I immediately put her into a first-generation, high-definition soft lens that miraculously allowed her to see clearly again!

With her contacts, Veronica's vision improved to a solid 20/25, allowing her to see clearly at both distance and near for the first time in 40 years!

Thank you Veronica, for allowing us to share your beautiful success story with all of our patients and their families!

God's Miracle Could Not Be Denied: 60 years ago, a doctor used forceps during childbirth and scraped over Jeff Rogers' right eye, resulting in blindness. Jeff's whole life was a blur as he went from eye doctor to eye doctor to see if anything could be done.
Almost 30 years ago, Jeff became a patient at my office to see if anything could correct the total and absolute blur resulting from scarring caused by his childbirth injury.
After mapping Jeff's right eye, I determined that a unique, fifth-generation "Micro-Lens" I had recently developed could be made to fit perfectly over the scarred cornea and restore Jeff's lost vision.
Thirty years later, we still see Jeff every year for his annual vision exam. As long as he wears his contact lenses, he sees very clearly out of his right eye, covering both distance and near vision beautifully.
For over 50 years, my office has offered state-of-the-art contact lens designs, materials and techniques. With God's help and guidance, we helped our friend Jeff Rogers achieve his success story.
Call our office and see for yourself how thousands of patients from across the country and even from outside the United States consider our office to be their home...
Blessings to you and your families.
Bill Lyon and Staff
P.S. Please watch Jeff's amazing story in this short video. It will absolutely warm your heart and help make your day a better one...

Leading The Way In Lifestyle Transformations: Imagine the freedom of seeing clearly without eyeglasses, and without the risk of laser eye surgery. Did you know that over 70% of our patients previously failed with their old-style contact lenses before coming to our office?
Especially in the last 10 years, our practice has shifted its focus to helping patients who are legally blind and cannot see with ordinary eyeglasses or soft contact lenses.
Through a lifetime of science, empirical observation and study, we have developed crossover designs, soft-hard combinations, and "micro-thin" designs that fit perfectly over scarred and disfigured corneas to restore sight for our patients.
A few months ago, a mother brought in her 15-year-old daughter who could not see clearly with her thick and heavy eyeglasses. She was getting D's and F's in school because she couldn't see clearly!
After her 2nd fitting with her new "Micro-Thin" lenses, she could see a solid 20/20 on my eye chart and felt more confident in school and with her friends.
She's lifted her grades up to B's and C+'s and makes eye contact with her classmates and teachers! Her mother was in tears because of her daughter's transformation... simply because she is finally able to see!
Here at the Lyon Contact Lens Center, we make lifestyle transformations for our patients, both young and old on a daily basis.
Call our office if you or a member of your family has a need for what we do for so many of our patients....you'll be glad you did!

Planting Seeds Of Kindness, Friendship, Joy And Hope: For over 50 years, we have crossed paths with so many of you: from our pediatric patients as young as 5 who need specialty contact lenses for medical / therapeutic needs, to our teenagers involved in sports, to our adults with sensitive eyes, complex prescriptions and demanding 12+-hour-a-day computer use, and finally to our active seniors who want to experience a new freedom in a world without heavy eyeglasses and bifocals.
We specialize in unique and powerful contact lens solutions for the 21st century contact lens patient. Through all these many years, I have absolutely been blessed by the relationships we have developed with all of our patients both young and old. I've watched you come in with your children in strollers for your exams, only to see those same toddlers become patients at my office 12 years later.
When I dismiss a patient with a hug knowing that he or she will be moving out of state, only to learn that they still return every year for their lens exams either during summer break, or during the holidays. Also, for all of you that I absolutely know by name, I am humbled by your love and trust in me and my work of love for you.
As we enter our 50th year together with God's help and guidance, I plan to continue doing my very best to provide crystal clear vision, total comfort and healthy eyes for you and your families!
With All My Gratitude And Love,
Bill Lyon and Staff

Meet Cristian Esparza, Our Featured Patient Of The Week: For the past 10 years, Cristian has been considered legally blind due to a progressive eye disease that affects 1 in every 2,000 people globally. With seven family members already coming to our office, Cristian made an appointment earlier this month to see if we could help improve his eyesight and improve his quality of life.
After mapping Cristian's eyes, I determined that a 7th generation "Air-Lens" could be a wonderful alternative to the thick and heavy contacts that Cristian was barely able to tolerate. Our amazing new lenses would center perfectly over his corneas and would be 10 times thinner and lighter than his old-style lenses.
Just last week, Cristian got his new lenses and was amazed by the total comfort and clarity from his new "Air-Lens" contacts, which I custom designed for his unique eye shape and prescription. Cristian's smile as he shared with his fiancée Diana how comfortable his new lenses were was very meaningful to everyone in our office!
Thank you Christian, and please thank all your family members for the many years of trust and faith you have extended to our office for all these many years. Here at the Lyon Contact Lens Center, we could never do what we do without your love and support!

Meet Carol Griffith, This Is Our 6th Decade Together As Our Patient And Friend: Carol is legally blind, and along with her wonderful husband Ed first came to our office all the way back in 1979. If you count the decades we’ve shared together, that’s the 1970s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s—and now the middle of the 2020s. Very few practices are blessed with relationships that last this long.
If there were ever a real-life “Bionic Woman,” it would be Carol. Over the years, her journey has filled four full volumes of patient records. Carol has courageously managed advanced Keratoconus in both eyes and has been legally blind for much of her life.
Her medical journey includes four corneal transplant surgeries (with three unfortunate rejections), a detached retina, glaucoma surgery, and cataract extractions with implants. Yet through every challenge, Carol has faced each step with strength, grace, and faith.
With God’s help, Carol—now in her late 80s—continues to thrive and remains a remarkable patient in excellent standing with her custom-designed “Dream Lens,” that I custom make for her unique visual needs.
Carol and Ed, thank you for more than four decades of trust, friendship, and loyalty.
Here at Lyon Contact Lens Center, stories like yours remind us why we do what we do every single day—helping patients see, persevere, and live life fully.
With gratitude, Bill Lyon and Staff
