Ilissa Cerbone
Optician
I started my optical career in 1992. Being a part of the Eyeglass House family for the past 27 years has allowed me to create long lasting relationships with my patients. They trust me with their eyes and know that I will make them “see” and “look” their best with their eyewear.
I am married and have 2 teenage boys. I love spending my summers at the beach and I also love to travel with my family.
Corey
Lab Technician
Corey is our quiet behind the scenes guy. He is expertly making your glasses in the back in our on site finishing lab. We feel outside labs lack the time to take into consideration prescription and frame selection to perfectly grind a pair of lenses and create a the most aesthetically pleasing end result. Corey has 5 years experience in a lab and we are so happy with his work and to have him on our team.
