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.
When Lisa LaGassa, OD, saw an abandoned building in Grosse Pointe, Michigan—a dry-cleaning business with a leaky roof—she also saw the potential.
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.
