OUR STORY

Teresa Gelsi grew up with her father being the town eye doctor. When she was younger, she would follow him around listening as much as she could to him talking about his chosen profession. As she got older, she helped him stamp recall cards and teach contact lens insertion and removal to his patients. She did not know it at the time, but she was developing a strong attachment and love for the optical industry that would eventually lead to her career path. Without realizing it Teresa was able to select frame lines BEFORE they would hit mainstream popularity. She devoured knowledge about optics and lenses and familiarized herself with types of lenses so she could offer the best lens solutions to her patients. She brought the trends to Dobbs Ferry and the surrounding towns.
