New Life for an Old Space: Converting Previous Businesses into Eye Care Practices

From banks to cigar bars to abandoned laundromats, these optometry practices have turned unexpected spaces into eye care hubs.

Samantha Hornberger, OD, relocated Bright Family Eye Care from a second-floor, 1,400-square-foot space to a single-level brick building three miles away in West Harrison, Indiana. The former bank now features a contact lens storage area inside the old vault, complete with its original immovable door.

Rochelle Mota, OD, and her husband, Billy Hrncir, transformed what used to be a cigar bar into a pretty and pink practice with Mexican inspirations and a coffee shop. Dr. Mota now sees patients full-time at Punto Focal & Dry Eye Spa in Loredo, Texas.

Jean Hess Barden, OD, found the perfect new location for Greater Thumb Eyecare in a closed bank near the center of Vassar, Michigan. The build-in drive through windows were a great way to serve patients during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
