The Dream
|
|
Imagine:
Imagine yourself seeing
clearly in a world without
eyeglasses......and without the risk and uncertainty of laser eye
surgery. Today's contact lenses are
the quick, safe, and very affordable alternative for millions of
active people on the go, who don't want to wear glasses, and definitely
are not ready for the risk of laser eye surgery. At the Lyon Contact
Lens Center we're
preparing for the new millennium with a solution for almost everyone!
For less than the
price for a cup of coffee on a daily basis, you can experience new
generations
of contact lenses that are so comfortable, they virtually "mimic"
the cornea tissue of the human eye. Even mature but active adults
wearing bifocals have enjoyed the freedom offered at
the Lyon Contact Lens Center, through one of
our many bifocal contact lens programs.
Now that we have
all entered the 21st Century,
there are presently 90 million Americans who
need bifocals. Added to that number are millions
of people who are either nearsighted, farsighted,
or need astigmatism correction.......With the new generation of
contact lenses that are now available at the Lyon Contact Lens Center,
thousands of our patients are thrilled to finally be free of their
thick and heavy glasses and bifocals, once and for all!

The Dream: Our
Past, Present, And Future.....
As Told By Bill Lyon, Founder And Director Of The Lyon Contact
Lens Center For 25 Years:
Our new location at the Logos Building in
the
South Coast Metro
area of Southern California
is a dream come true for all of us! And our Full Line Contact
Lens Center now has five examination rooms contained in an office
that provides a haven of rest, fellowship, and love for all of our
patients. God continues to show us that He will always provide for
our needs....as we serve the needs of His people. We thank you for
the opportunity to serve you, and hope you will enjoy reading about
our past, present, and future!

Our Past
25 years ago,
my first patients were the typical
18-24 year old kids who loved sports, wanted an active lifestyle,
and hated glasses. I was only a few years older than these people
myself, so I
was able to relate to their needs and demands. The lenses of the 70's
were either hard or soft. They required slow adaptation, lots of messy
solutions, and lots and lots of patience from
both the patient and myself. Only one in ten of these people were
old enough to need bifocals, much less cataract or astigmatic lenses.
With
our one office, most of our patient base was located within a 5 mile
radius of Anaheim and Fullerton borders. |
|
Our Present
Our
patient base has not only grown in size,
they have grown up as well. We have fitted
and refitted three generations of contact lens wearers.The 25 year
old kid I fitted in the 70's
is now a grandma or grandpa. And 50% of our patients are in their
mid years or golden years.
These people don't
like glasses. And they especially don't want to wear bifocals. Our
wonderful challenge today is to fit these
precious people into contact lenses that can
now correct for their bifocal needs as well as
for near or farsightedness and astigmatism.
Many of our most successful patients are pilots, athletes, police
officers, California Highway
Patrol,Sheriffs, and Marshals, along with FBI
and Secret Service personnel. Housewives,
students, and other individuals of varying occupations and lifestyles
complete our list
of successful, enthusiastic, and loyal family members of the LCLC.
We are now fitting
corneal transplant recipients... along with people who have had
cataract implants. Most recently, we started to refit people who
have had laser and refractive surgeries that were either unsuccessful
or did not last. The irony is that these same individuals had perfectly
healthy corneas prior to surgery. We must now refit their corneas
with contact lenses in order to correct the visual abnormality caused
by the refractive surgery itself.
Our patient base
now spreads up and down the coast like a road map. From Santa Barbara
to San Diego, we greet thousands of new referrals from other doctors,
family members, and friends who are willing to drive great distances
to come to our new office here in the Logos Building in the South
Coast Metro Area of Southern California.

Our Future
Now
that we have entered the 21st Century,
we are enthusiastically looking forward to
newer generation contact lenses that will help to address an even
wider range of optical challenges and needs for our patients. We
will be focusing much of our attention not only on our patient base
with healthy eyes......but also on individuals whose only hope for
a normal lifestyle can come from contact lenses that
take the place of the human cornea in cases of accidents, injuries,
diseases, and unsuccessful laser eye surgeries. We pray that God
will direct
us to those areas in which we can be a blessing to others with the
abilities He has given us.
