Paris West Optical

04/01/2026

Big announcement. 📣

-
After much consideration we have decided to sell to the Big Money Private Equity Optical Corporation.

After 30+ years I’ve decided to pursue my passions : tattooing myself, hanging out with horses, and a part time gig in the NBA.

Thanks for all the years of support, I’m sure the new owners will suck the soul out of the business, I mean take great care of everyone.

Oh and Happy April Fools Day. It’s taken us 30 years to make a bad joke. We’re slow I guess 😎

Happy New Year! 🎊 (almost)

We were blessed to be visited by Paris West alumni - young Dwayne (not to be confused with another former alumni , old Duane)

Also joining him was his lovely wife Dr. Jess and their ridiculously cute kids, who if history is an indicator possibly could be future Paris West employees.

It’s the last day of the year, we are here until 6 today, and Dr Tony does (at the time of this post) have a few appointment times open this afternoon. So if you have expiring FSA/HSA dollars then come on down 😊

We hope everyone has an awesome and safe New Years Eve! We will see you next year - which will start for us at 10am on Friday 😎
