Agawam Eye Associates Licensed Optician

I’ve been serving the North Shore for over 30 years as a licensed optician in various locations. Peter trained me for my license back in the 80’s and now I am so happy to be helping folks in my backyard community of Rowley alongside such a caring highly competent group of professionals! Working with our optometrists and their staff feels like family. I especially love helping our customers choose eyewear that they love, and cutting their lenses for the perfect pair of glasses. In my spare time I love working in my home art studio concocting something funky!

  • My son's nose pad broke off his eye glasses during school. I went to Agawam Eye Associates to see if they sold replacement pads. Peter replaced my son's pads in less than a minute and did not want to take anything for the cost. Kindness and generosity!
