Rita Caha
Rita feels one of the best parts of her job is guiding new contact lens wearers through the process of caring for, then inserting, and removing their lenses. The process, although challenging, the excitement and obvious sense of accomplishment the patients display upon successfully inserting and removing their lenses is extremely rewarding.
In her spare time, Rita enjoys spending time with her family and friends. Some favorite pastimes are traveling and being outdoors with her husband and their son.
Isabel
Isabel began her career in eye care in 2020 and has since found her passion as an optometric technician at Premier Vision. In 2023, she completed her first level of paraoptometric certification (CPO) and is dedicated to furthering her education by completing all levels of CPO certification. Isabel’s favorite aspect of her job is educating patients on their ocular health and guiding them through the eye exam process. She also specializes in repairing broken glasses, making her the go-to person for repairs.
Outside of work, Isabel enjoys attending weekly trivia nights with her husband and friends, hitting the driving range, and spending time with her family.
