Thank you for visiting the website of Eye Physicians of the East Bay, a leader in comprehensive eye care in Oakland and Lafayette, California! We realize that every patient who comes to our office entrusts us with one of the most precious things in their life: their sight. We never take this trust for granted, and we treat each patient as we would want any member of our own families treated.

Michael L. Wang, M.D., F.A.C.S.; Steven G. Pascal, M.D.; and Jane V. Loman, M.D. have decades of experience in comprehensive medical and surgical eye care. In fact, a large percentage of the doctors and nurses in the East Bay medical community choose us for their own eye care and refer their patients, friends and family to our practice.

We are dedicated to providing the highest level of care to each and every patient, regardless of their circumstances or how complicated their case may be. We have the most advanced diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical technology that exists in all of ophthalmology. Laser-assisted, small incision cataract surgery with refractive correction and advanced, micro-invasive glaucoma surgery are two examples of state-of-the-art surgical techniques that we routinely use to preserve and restore vision for our patients.
