Favorite eye care product:  One-day disposable contact lenses.  I started wearing contact lenses at 11 years old, when contact lenses were worn for an entire year (or more).  Contact lenses were super expensive for just one pair, plus cleaning was tedious.  Today, I wear a fresh pair everyday, and enjoy crisp vision without the maintenance.


Jessica Garcia

I enjoy assisting patients in choosing the right frames and lenses. Meeting new people everyday is exciting and interesting. I like forming connections with them and look forward to seeing them next time. I want patients to leave happy and with the best care.

Memorable Challenge in Life: A memorable challenge of mine was graduating college as I am a first-generation college graduate.

Best Advice To Eye Care Patients: The best advice I can offer to patients is to definitely get a coating on your lenses. The scratch resistance is helpful as my lenses have many scratches and it can be hard to see through them.

Favorite Color: Purple

Favorite Eye Care Product: Contact lenses are my favorite eye care product. I prefer wearing them in summer and having non-prescription sunglasses. It is much better than wearing my glasses in the California heat.


Amanda Tran

I really enjoy interacting with patients and getting to know them. It’s very inspiring to be able to help improve their vision and their overall quality of life. We live in such a beautiful world that I think everyone should be able to see clearly.

Best Advice to Eye Care Patients: Wear sunglasses! Not only are they stylish, but they protect your eyes from harmful UV rays and small debris that could get in your eyes.

Favorite Color: Purple
