DALLAS OPTICAL - Key Persons


Laurie Rose

Laurie Rose started practicing opticianary 37 years ago. She became American board of opticianary certified in the late1970's. Over the years she has been a part of the ever changing optical industry. Her passion is simple as she puts it, "I just want everyone to see." I want to make the best pair of glasses for the fairest price possible. I admire stakeholders and interested parties within the optical industry who have joined together with a shared vision to create the technology so we have the privilege to offer our customers the very best in eyewear products. After more than 30 years of being certified Laurie went back to school and took 80 hours of courses to continue her optical education. She also recently decided to retake the American Board of Opticianary exam to make sure she knows what she thinks she knows, and yes she passed with flying colors. Her husband Dale, daughters Kelsey and Whitney and sons Eric and John and his wife Britany can often be found popping into the shop to visit with mom and customers. It's just a family place at Dallas Optical. That feeling Laurie felt the first day she started at Dallas Optical is still there, it's been passed on to this family, and all of our customers reaching back 60 years and over 3 generations, will tell you when they walk through the door there is just a sense of belonging, a place to come and connect with a friend who just happens to be your personal optician, an expert on your visual needs. You can trust Dallas Optical; you will experience a real Texas treasure. You'll see!!
