My name is Leslie and I was born in Mexico. I came here when I was 8 years old and left again when I was 16. Four years ago I came back and my first job was in optical. I automatically fell in love with it. 6 months later I took my American Board of Opticianry exam and passed it! I worked at LensCrafters for about 3 years and decided that it was time to explore more!

For the last 5 years she has worked and gained her own experience in optics from a national optical chain. She pays close attention to the patients optical needs, while incorporating her enjoyment of styling and fitting them with her fashion forward expertise. Diana is currently earning her Bachelors degree in Pre-Medical Sciences. For the last 4 years she resided in Camarillo, CA where she attended Cal State Channel Islands.

My name is Wendy and I was born and raised in Long Beach, California. I moved to Bakersfield about five years ago to start a family. After being a stay at home mom, I decided to go back into optics. I have worked in optics for over 6 year’s with most of my experience coming from a national optical chain and one year working for a private optical. I absolutely fell in love working for a smaller company that I had to go back. I love to travel and create amazing memories with my family.

Hello, my name is Deborah. I’m from Oceanside California and grew up in Ohio. I’m a California girl at heart and I call Bakersfield home. I met my husband 20 years ago and we have 3 great kids together. I started my Optical career in 2008, Then took a break from optics in 2014 to focus on raising my 3 kids. Now that they’re older I’m so happy to be back at work! I love that glasses can give you different looks, I also have so much fun helping people pick out something that they love to wear! When I’m not at work I’m spending time with my family and friends.
