Kyrsten

Meet Kyrsten, our Patient Care Specialist here at Village Family Eyecare!

Kyrsten has been in the optical industry for over 7 years and has worked alongside Dr. Jones for almost all of that time. She has a passion for the technician side of the office including performing pre-testing on patients, checking their vision, instilling eye drops, scribing, and much more.

Following her high school graduation at Lowell High School in 2016, she pursued a degree in sonography at Grand Valley State University, but quickly found her passion in optometry instead, working with Dr. Jones, who has taught her almost everything she knows.

She has been a certified technician since 2018. She is Ophthalmic Scribe Certified (OSC) and she is a Certified Paraoptometric Assistant (CPOA). Kyrsten also hopes to become an ABO certified optician in the near future.

Kyrsten resides in Lowell with her husband, Griffen, who is also an optician. They have 5 fur babies, Charlie, Wren, Cricket, Nala, and Mahi. In her free time, she enjoys reading, golfing, playing video games, and spending time with her friends and family.

You will often see Kyrsten modeling our new frames and having fun in our social media posts! You can stop in to say "Hi!" to Kyrsten Monday through Friday!
