Our Story
You wouldn’t settle for one pair of shoes — so why just one pair of glasses? Eyewear has evolved far beyond utility; it’s an essential accessory that expresses your personality, complements your wardrobe, and reflects your lifestyle.
At Occhiali Modern Optics, you’ll discover distinctive, handcrafted eyewear that is never mass-produced from artisans around the world. Our curated collections blend timeless elegance with modern edge, offering both classic and fashion-forward designs. Every frame is supported by advanced lens technology, meticulous optical science, and a team dedicated to exceptional service.
Sara McDaniel began her optical journey at just 20 years old, working in a lab where her passion for the craft first took shape. Nearly two decades later, that passion continues to shine through every detail of Occhiali Modern Optics. Certified by the American Board of Opticianry, Sara has collaborated with private practices and national optical labs across the country, but her true joy lies in personally hand-selecting each eyewear collection and helping clients experience their best vision in uncompromising style.
Our Team
As a proud family-owned boutique, Occhiali Modern Optics reflects the dedication, artistry, and heart of the McDaniel family.
– Marissa Deacon, Sara’s daughter, first pursued a career in nursing, becoming a licensed RN before returning to her roots and joining the family business. Now a Certified Optician, Marissa brings precision, empathy, and expertise to every client experience.
– Priscilla Montemayor, Sara’s eldest daughter, grew up immersed in the optical world — spending afternoons in the shop and learning the business from the ground up. Today, she contributes her creativity and eye for design to the administrative, marketing, and social media side of the boutique, ensuring the Occhiali brand continues to shine both in-store and online.
Together, this family team blends artistry, craftsmanship, and personal connection to create an eyewear experience as genuine as it is exceptional.
Our vision is helping you define yours.
