Opticians

We are proud to be able to say that each of our opticians is certified by the American Board of Opticianry.  This certification means that our opticians have undergone extensive training and passed rigorous examinations.  They also have to maintain their certification through continuing education courses in which they continually learn about the latest products and information about the optical industry.
