Sena had so many great options for a new pair of glasses she went with two! We are impressed with how well each pair complements her face and coordinates with her style!
The red color peeking out from the backside of this black frame balances out the sharp detail of this shape; adding some softness to a strong look.
Conversely, the thin silhouette of Sena’s second pair is re-defined by a contrast of matte red and white, creating just the ideal amount of color highlighting.
Ann picked up her new transitions pair just in time for the next surge of sunny, bright weather! This interesting black, red, & bronze frame model is one of the newest from the ROGER collection– an innovative metal & plastic combo!
How Long with Eyes On Fremont: 4 years! Milli has been a licensed dispensing optician since April 2011.
Her EOF “Specialty”: Milli actually came on board while still attending the Opticianry program at SCCC. She worked as our very first front end “greeter/host” for our busy shop days. She has a natural energy working with people partly due to her extensive background and years working in PR & Marketing for magazines.
What defines Milli as a person:
Milli identifies strongly with her Italian roots & a things that tend to define her culture: Food, family, & fun!
Clockwise, L to R: Milli’s straw vacuum hat, Silver frame from MotherBaugh, Yin-yang silver necklace, family heirloom cooking spoon, “Milli” from Roger Eye Design, Vagrancy Designs sunglass, Rosetta Stone Italiano, “Welcome Giancarlo” sauce can from her 1st son’s baby shower.
She is currently planning another trip to Mexico with her family: her husband and two sons, who are her inspiration & livelihood. She describes her sons as “day & night” but both compliment one another & bring balance to her life, much like yin & yang. In addition to the family dynamic, she balances duty & work with fun– enjoying music concerts with her eldest son (they went to see Eminem & Rhianna just this fall!) & warm weather family vacations every year. And, there’s no better way to appreciate your loved ones than with some well prepared home cooking: something she picked up from her mother (she still cooks her best dishes with her Ma’s spoon). Just a few of the reasons that Milli has one of the sunniest dispositions of our opticians at Eyes on Fremont.
Here’s a quick little snap from when the Mad Scientist himself, Roger, came to visit us a little while ago. He’s wearing the Prime in Gold and Elly is wearing her second pair of Roger Eye Design, the Emely….WOW!!!
