Important Updates for Contact Lens Wearers

May 24, 2023

Contact Lens Vendor Change of Direction

For decades we've fit patients into Acuvue contact lenses made by Johnson & Johnson; their Oasys lens delivers safe and clear vision. But we are fed up. These past several years, Acuvue has struggled with poor delivery times, lack of available trial lenses, and repeated price hikes.

We are writing to notify you of a practice-wide redirection to a new contact lens vendor: Alcon. We believe Alcon will serve you better: bigger rebates, faster delivery time, and easy online ordering and tracking through Marlo. If your order is delayed, Alcon will send you free trials!

We will never sacrifice your eye health; Alcon offers incredible options at a now lower price and with more convenience. At your next appointment, you can expect our team to offer you free trials of Alcon lenses. Don't be afraid to try something new! 
 

Introducing Contact Lens Specialist Francisco Navarro, NCLE

Francisco joined the practice as a Medical Assistant in 2020 after graduating from UC Davis with a Bachelor's Degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry.

The field of contact lenses has evolved significantly in the last 5 years.

Don't let dry eye or presbyopia prevent you from trying contacts! Francisco's aim is to provide you with the best comfort and vision.
