History
Established in 1983.
In 1983 Dr. Ralf W. Lorenz, O.D. purchased 199 Taylor Blvd and converted this classic beauty of a home into an elegant office. A few years later, he was joined by Dr. James Abrams, M.D. to include Ophthalomology services. Since then, we have flourished as a vision and eyecare practice with an outstanding frame selection poised to fit a perfect frame for each individual face.

Business Owner
Of German and Russian heritage, Dr. Lorenz and his parents emigrated to the USA at a young age. Following Military service in the US Signal Corps, Dr. Lorenz completed his professional studies in Optometry at the University of California at Berkley.
Soon after, he opened a private practice in Berkley doing work in Visual Therapy. During this time, he invented an optical instrument used in orthoptics.
In 1983, Dr. Lorenz left research in the instrumental field to open his practice in Millbrae and to devote his fulltime attention to the practice of Optometry. Dr. Lorenz has developed special emphasis in the fields of contact lenses, preventive optometry, and occupational vision. The many pilots seeking his services prompted Dr. Lorenz to measure the various dimensions of cockpits and to optain his own pilot’s license to better prescribe for their needs.
To this day, Dr. Lorenz continues his dedication to providing customized care for every patient that sits in his exam chair.
