Amanda, our Senior Optician here at Impressive Eyes Optical has been working as an optician for 11 years. She received a National Vision Champs Award for customer service, has extensive optical knowledge and is a self-proclaimed "Optical Nerd".

Sarah

Lab Technician

Sarah has been a Lab Technician for fourteen years. We love having Sarah on our team! When asked what she enjoys most about her job she will tell you she loves giving people the gift of sight. We think that's pretty special. 

Sarah has three children and her favorite activity with them is going to one of the many beautiful parks here in our lovely community.

Zulma
Optician

Zulma has been working in the optical field for over four years, with a background in medical and ophthalmic care. She is definitely the most stylish among the Impressive Eyes team and as such Zulma easily helps our patients find the perfect fashionable frames.  

She might be the baby of the office but no one can put her in a corner. Ella habla espanol! 

The most important person in Zulma's life is her daughter. They enjoy going to movies together, spending time exploring Colorado and they both share an artist's flare.

We are all so glad to have Zulma with us here at Impressive Eyes Optical!
