Kristyne, Optician

My journey into the world of being an Optician has been ongoing leaning for 13 years. All started working in mostly medical office, while getting sucked into the charts I was scanning. Fast Forward a few years was tossed into the sink or swim of Private practice where I found the JOY of helping people and slightly needing out on optics and the different options. Finding a passion in finding the Right frame, the Style, Fashion add in the difference of mass market vs. independent Eyewear makers. Finding or choosing amazing styles and colors while buying frames for the office Seeing wonders or hidden gems you might run into. That Perfect pair for the person looking while choosing the best options so someone can SEE all while being an expression of oneself. Helping someone take that hesitant 1st step to a journey in eyewear! Showing a young person how to put contact lenses in for the 1st time and overcoming the challenges. Knowing that in some small part you helped someone in some small way is why I still to this day find working as an Optician something to be proud of.

Marcie, Optician

Marcie is a certified dispensing optician with over thirty years of experience. At 21 years old, she was one of the youngest opticians to pass the Tennessee State Boards and earn her state license. She moved to California in the mid 80's with Lenscrafters where she helped open new stores from Seattle to Monterey. She was recognized for operational excellence and was inducted into the prestigious President's Customer Service Hall of Fame. Most recently she was the owner/operator of an independent optical shop in San Francisco until she closed in 2023. Shortly afterwards, she joined Dr. Blas and team at Eyes in Disguise. When not helping patients look and see their best, she is on the lookout for new rock/mineral specimens to add to her collection.

Anna Covell, Optician

With over a decade of experience as an optician up and down the West Coast, I’m passionate about styling and empowering people to express themselves through eyewear. My mission is to create a comfortable environment where every patient feels confident and seen. My gift for styling and connecting with each patient ensures they feel comfortable in their own skin. I believe glasses are more than just vision tools; they’re an art form that helps you express yourself—let’s style your story together!
