A message from the Owner

Since I was a young man, I have been fascinated by light, physics, and business. Becoming an optician has allowed me to continue asking questions about the world around me and applying this knowledge to those in my community in a functional way by creating prescription safety eyewear that is as durable as the people wearing them.
