about me

Hi!  I’m Stacey Plank.  I’ve been an optician since 1998. 

I was going to school for interior design and working for an architect when I fell in love with this industry. 

After an ophthalmology practice chose my design color board, I went in to take a look at the finished product.  The sweet woman behind the desk in the optical shop and I had a nice chat and the next thing I knew, I was starting a new job. 

I am a lover of all things fashion and design, great furniture but most importantly amazing eyewear.  Design that helps us see the world, and affects how people see us. 

After managing a couple optical shops and working for an amazing frame designer, I knew it was time to open my own place in 2008 in St. Louis MO. The goal was to offer the best selection of fashionable, well made, not mass-produced eyewear while offering an experience second to none. 

In 2022 my husband, I and our 2 Maltese moved to New York. (He affectionally calls me the Mother-of-Maltese). After a very needed break, I realized the optical world is where I’m meant to live.  You can take the girl out of the optical industry but you can’t take the industry out of her. 

So here we are.  A stunning new location in Montgomery NY.  Selling products from brands we love, by designers we know.  

Pull up a seat at the bar. Let us get you a drink and serve up the greatest in luxury eyewear. 

My hope is that once you experience our shop, this will be your Last Optical. 

You only have two eyes, let’s make them last.
