Monica Nguyen, OD

I have been going to Dr. Nguyen for many years now. I have been wearing glasses and contact lenses for about 30 years and I have suffered from Graves Disease during a portion of my life. I’m stubborn and extremely hard-​headed about my contacts and refuse to take them out at night. I’m not really sure why I’m so rebellious about it. Maybe it’s the Taurus in me, but I just can’t conform to the do-​not-​sleep-​in-​contact-​lenses law. I’ve actually switched eye doctors in the past because I’ve had at least two prior doctors threaten not to not fill my contact lens prescription for non-​compliance of this rule. Dr. Nguyen wasn’t nasty about my need to sleep in my lenses as if they were my security blanket or like I thought my house would catch on fire and I couldn’t see to rescue my children without wearing them.
Instead, she found some really comfortable lenses. The kind for dry eyes. These suckers were actually MADE so I could sleep with them on! AND, she was so cool about everything, telling me what the best solution for me REALLY worked and what drops ARE the best for me, that… GET THIS,
I actually soak my lenses every week in a cleanser overnight and sometimes I don’t sleep in them!!!
Bottom line is that she’s amazing, she is miles ahead with technology, she’s super sweet and kind, and she really, really want everyone to see life better.
Oh, and she’s got a groovy aquarium, too! Jellyfish!
