The Last Optical was founded by Stacey L. Plank, a licensed optician since 1998. She opened her first optical shop in St. Louis, MO in 2008 and brought the same eye bar concept to Montgomery, NY: fashionable, well-made, not mass-produced eyewear with personal optician service. Read her story at https://thelastoptical.com/about.
Yes. Precise fitting is a core part of what we do, including progressive lenses, rimless frame builds and complex prescriptions. Progressives only work when the measurements and adjustments are right, which is why they are fitted in person by our licensed optician.

The Dry Eye Spa at The Last Optical offers spa-based dry eye services using Lumenis technology: OptiLight intense pulsed light (IPL), OptiPLUS radio frequency, and OptiLIFT dynamic muscle stimulation, along with lid hygiene treatments and home-care guidance. Stacey L. Plank guides each guest through a dry eye consultation; when symptoms call for medical diagnosis or care beyond the spa's scope, we encourage coordination with an appropriate eye-care provider. Details: https://thelastoptical.com/dry-eye-spa.
OptiLIFT by Lumenis is a non-surgical eyelid treatment that combines dynamic muscle stimulation with radio frequency to tone and tighten the lower eyelid area without incisions or downtime. The typical protocol is four sessions spaced about a week apart. Candidacy is discussed during a consultation; see https://thelastoptical.com/optilift.
