DR. RICHARD S. EISENBERG
Dr. Richard S. Eisenberg is a highly trained and experienced optometrist who has been as intimately involved in the research, development, and fitting of specialty contact lenses as he has been in the clinical practice of optometry. As a pioneer clinical investigator for Bausch and Lomb, he helped pave the way for the first soft contact lenses to be FDA approved for wear in the U.S. in 1971. In private practice in Woodland Hills since 1974, Dr. Eisenberg has served as field investigator for a variety of contact lenses prior to FDA approval, including The Hydrocurve Toric® and the now popular Soflens 38® disposable contact lenses. With a special interest in Ophthalmic Wellness, his research in the prevention of ocular disease through the use of specific vitamin and antioxidant therapy, has helped one of the nation's largest vitamin manufacturers reformulate their vitamin to include all the necessary elements helpful in maintaining ocular tissue integrity.
