Dr. Thomas Aller is an internationally known optometrist offering your family comprehensive eye care, prescription glasses, complex contact lens care, co-​management of LASIK and other refractive surgeries, Ortho-​K for gentle overnight vision correction and proven methods to control myopia. Thoroughly committed to caring for his clients since 1983, Dr. Aller is the optometrist you can depend on for your family’s. Our state of the art facility in San Bruno, California is a complete eye care center with three exam rooms, an automated pre-​testing room and a spacious eye wear dispensary complete with all the latest designer frames. We offer the most advanced eye care treatments in the area. We are constantly updating our knowledge with the latest technology and new methods & prescriptions to better serve you. Dr. Aller reasoned that if bifocal glasses were effective in controlling myopia, bifocal contacts might be effective as well. What he found in a seven-​year study of 100 patients was that if he prescribed bifocal soft lenses for the appropriate nearsighted person, adult or child, that their rate of myopia worsening was reduced on average by 90%. Inspired by this finding, Dr. Aller sought and received a clinical research grant to fund further research.

History

Established in 1986.

I started working in this practice in 1986 and took it over in 1990. We moved to our new location in 2003 and we expect to stay quite a while. For about the last 10 years this office has been a major site for clinical optometric research and there are many more studies into novel treatments for myopia and hyperopia that are planned in the future.

Business Owner

Dr. Aller has lived in California for most of his life and grew up in Berkeley. He and his wife Virginia, who also now works in the office, have three young adult children making their way through various universities. He attended UC Berkeley for both undergraduate and optometry school and has practiced in San Bruno since 1986. He is an avid inventor and has spent the last twenty years or so on researching and developing a clinical method that has been shown to very effectively slow down the gradual increase in myopia or nearsightedness that is typical for children and many adults. He is now collaborating with The Vision Cooperative Research Centre in Sydney Australia, to help develop innovative, new contact lenses designed specifically to reduce myopia. His next project will be to try to develop a clinical method to reduce farsightedness and is currently underway.
