Ninoua, Optician

That distinct accent that always keeps our patients guessing belongs to Ninoua, our office manager. Ninoua, also known as Nina, began her career in 2006 in her native New Zealand. It was there that she obtained her Optical Dispensing certification. Love brought her to the United States and eventually to our office. Ninoua is excited for the fashion side of frames and can often be found in the dispensary. Ninoua believes in finding a frame that brings you that make-up with no make-up look. With a great knowledge of lens designs she can fit the needs of your lifestyle.

When not at the office, Ninoua and her husband can often be found exploring the Pacific Coast beaches. Fulfilling her love of fashion, Ninoua can also be often found at South Coast Plaza and Cabazon. She wishes to continue her worldwide travels with her husband. Maybe one day, she will even return to her favorite place Santorini, Greece.

Tania, Optician

Tania is our lab manager, overseeing lab orders, quality control, and the cutting of lenses. She has 20 years of experience in the optical industry and our patients love her funky style. She has a knack for helping people step out of their comfort zone and find the pair of glasses they will LOVE.

Tania may even love glasses a little too much, having accumulated over 100 pairs in her personal collection… Tania is a Tustin native and enjoys sewing and spending time with her son and daughter in her spare time.
