With over 40 years of combined optical and clinical experience, Dr. Dagron brings an unparalleled level of expertise to every custom lens fitting. His background—spanning precision optical training in France and clinical excellence at UC Berkeley—ensures each lens is engineered for your specific needs, from pediatric myopia management to multifocal solutions for presbyopes.

Patients across Oakland and the greater East Bay area value this approach, knowing that their vision is entrusted to a practice committed to uncompromised quality and individualized care.

Every custom lens project at U&EYE begins with a comprehensive eye examination, during which Dr. Dagron assesses your visual needs, lifestyle, and any specialized requirements. Leveraging advanced diagnostics and his extensive opticianry background, he determines the optimal lens material, thickness, and design for your prescription. The next step involves a collaborative frame selection process in which aesthetics and function are perfectly balanced—often with input from Dr. Dagron’s wife to ensure a flattering, natural fit. Once the specifications are set, your lenses are meticulously crafted and then expertly fitted, with real-time adjustments made for maximum comfort and clarity. For patients with urgent or complex needs, such as pediatric myopia control or advanced multifocal requirements, Dr. Dagron provides hands-on guidance throughout the process. The result is a pair of lenses uniquely tailored to enhance your vision, comfort, and style—all delivered with the attentive, one-on-one care that defines U&EYE Optometry in Montclair Village.
