Judy

Judy

Contact Lens Technician

Judy is very happy to be part of the staff at Optometric Associates. She started out as an apprentice optician in 1983 but quickly came to realize that contact lenses, rather than spectacles, were of greater interest.  In 1986, she passed the NCLE exam and has maintained the certification not only by attending lectures and classes but also by participating in giving lectures and classes at many industry conferences nationally as well as internationally. 

After retiring from Lancaster Contact Lens Inc., she is happy to consult, perform technical duties, and be a friendly face to our patients.  It is her desire to pass on the legacy of specialty contact lens care to another generation of practitioners and technicians.

Traveling to Virginia, Maine, and Colorado to visit children and grandchildren, golfing, and getting together with good friends over a meal are what bring happiness at this stage of life. Cooking and sewing rank high also.  Judy and her husband are active members of a local church, and faith and family come first in their lives.
