Roger Lawton

Roger is one of our certified opticians, and he is in his seventh year with EyeDesigns Optometry. As a life-long wearer of glasses himself, Roger was naturally drawn to the eye care field as a career, and his particular passion is applying his creative eye in assisting patients with frame selection. He says, "Every face is so different in form, skin tone, and bone structure, and it is always exciting to find just the right frame to complement the uniqueness of each patient's face." Personally, Roger divides his interests between photography (a student of Ansel Adams), singing bass in a community chorus, and salsa dancing. Swimming, bicycling, and yoga are his favorite ways to stay in shape and his preferred spectator sports are tennis, football and auto-racing. Roger is also our "latin connection" assisting our Spanish-speaking patients with his fluent command of Spanish.
