Bay Area, CA Optometrist | Read the Latest Eye & Vision Care News

I used to wear contacts exclusively, and the ladies at 20/20 Optometry encouraged me to try on a few frames. They picked out for me, and I fell in love with one immediately. Now I exclusively wear glasses and get compliments on my frame almost every day... A. Ing

I read about dry eyes in a brochure at Dr. Lee’s office awaiting my first appointment/ visit. It seemed I had this as all the symptoms sounded familiar. Dr. Lee agreed I did have dry eyes and set me up on a plan to decrease the irritation in my eyes. A few weeks later, most.. C. Garcia

I cannot believe the change I had. I REFUSE to live the life with out the magic glasses Dr. Lee gave to me. I feel much better and relaxed after Dr. Lee found my eye problem and fix it. I have been fighting with it for over 20 years. I really wish I have seen Dr. Lee earlier in m.. J. Zhu

A visual trip to the "eye doctor" seems like the most "boring" thing that must get done. However, at 20/20 Optometry, my experience was fun. The whole office staffs made my visit fun and exciting. Kudos to the doctor and her staff... V.Delgado

SYNERGEYES HYBRID CONTACT LENSES

We are one of a limited number of offices in the nation who are fitting this new revolutionary contact lens. In 2012, our office has been selected to be a part of the elite Platinum Fitters Club because we have successfully fit so many of these customized lenses. This hybrid lens combines the crisp, clear vision of a gas permeable contact lens with the comfort of a soft contact lens. These materials together give you the best vision and comfort a contact lens can offer.

We are 1 of 5 offices in the Bay area who is fitting the Duette Multifocal lens. This new lens was just released at the end of August 2011. This has been the best multifocal lens available that will allow a patient to have both excellent distance and reading zones. This is a "must try lens" for all those who are tired of being in bifocal glasses and want other options. Call and make an appointment today to get evaluated and fitted into this new advanced design.

The new Duette hybrid contact lens lens design was released recently. This design will be the first hybrid that will have a silicon hydrogel skirt so that both the RGP and the soft contact lens portion has high oxygen transmission. This lens is for normal corneas and will be a clearer option for patients who need astigmatism corrected contact lenses. The Duette lens will allow the patients to have a healthier eye and be able to wear it for a longer time without the eyes being dry or red.

Currently, there are 5 types of SynergEyes lenses offered. The SynergEyes A lens will work for those who are nearsighted, farsighted, and astigmatism and have irregular-shaped corneas. There are 2 designs available for patients with keratoconus or cone-shaped eyes. We are proud to be one of the initial offices in the nation to fit the new SynergEyes Clear Kone lenses. The SynergEyes KC lens design also works for patients with keratoconus and is the first generation of that series of lenses. For those patients who need a bifocal type of prescriptions in glasses, they can benefit from using the SynergEyes Multifocal lenses. Lastly, there is a SynergEyes PS (post-surgical) lens available to those patients who had prior corneal surgeries, eye injuries or other corneal irregularities.

Make an appointment today to see if you qualify for this revolutionary new contact lens.

RETINAL IMAGE

Our office is excited to provide a retinal imaging system. With the retinal photos, patients can, for the first time ever, see what the doctor sees. This can now be done without the dilation of the eyes. The traditional way of examining the retina was to have the optometrist use eye drops to dilate the pupil to take a look inside the eye. This meant the patient couldn't do things like read or use a computer for several hours after the eye exam. This procedure takes less than 3 minutes to perform.

With the retinal camera, the patient just puts the eye up to the device which then takes a digital picture of the retina in seconds. The doctor and patient can then look at the image together on a monitor. The image files can then be stored for comparison with images taken at later visits to detect any changes.

The retinal image gives patients a greater understanding of exactly what is happening inside their body, which then can affect the eyes. Our eye doctors can detect conditions such as diabetes or high cholesterol in the body. The doctors recommend having the retinal photos performed yearly to detect any changes of the eyes now to prevent potential vision loss in the future.
