Jan’s been an ophthalmologist since 1969 and has owned an optical shop since 1977. He is also a retired two-star Rear Admiral.

FRAMES / Silhouette Titan Color Chassis with Custom Shape 7389.

LENSES / 1.67 Shamir Autograph Office lens with Crizal Avance and satin edge polish.

Frances L. Scholz, LDO

Frances has been working in optical for 25 years. “I started out as a bench optician in 1989 and found my optical home in 1998 with Dr. Nyboer.”

FRAMES / Seraphin Grand in Burgandy

LENSES / Shamir In Touch 1.67 index with Crizal Avance.

 “At Vision Expo West 2013, my Ogi rep, Amber Bay, came by to show me the collection and I just had to have them! They are a very cool interpretation of a vintage frame I have always wanted to wear. Because it is aluminum, I could finally have that vintage look without the weight of regular glasses.”  


 
Christie Stemmle, OD

Christie has been an associate at Southside for 20 years. She’s been working in optical “longer than I care to admit—25 years plus. I started as a child in an RGP manufacturing family.”

Owns “at least three pairs of sunglasses and three pairs of regular glasses with my current Rx.”

FRAMES / Ogi 9200 color 1488

LENSES / Shamir FirstPAL polycarbonate with Crizal Avance.

“I am banned from picking glasses entirely on my own. The expert definitely must be consulted. Frances is amazing at putting the right frame with the right face.”
