Happy Veterans Day from Karns Vision 🇺🇸
We’re grateful for the brave men and women who have served our nation. We are especially thankful for Dr. Kate, who cared for service members and their families as a Naval Optometrist from 2016–2020.
Thank you, veterans, for your service and sacrifice ❤️🤍💙

The elves were quite busy today! 🎄
It might be a touch early for some, but we’ve been assured the turkey tastes just as good even when the trees are up. 😃

Meet Me Monday with Kate! 👋🏼

Kate is guaranteed to bring both skill and smiles to the exam room. Having studied in Australia, she combines international training with a down-to-earth, can-do attitude. She’s a hardworking technician with a sharp eye for detail—and a soft spot for good jokes. Whether she’s helping patients feel at ease or cracking a pun that gets the whole room laughing, Kate keeps things running smoothly and spirits lifted. She’s all heart—and we mean that in the best way.

Meet Me Monday with Elizabeth 👋🏼

If kindness had a face, it might just look like Elizabeth. Our unofficial clinic ray of sunshine, Elizabeth is often the first smile you see and the warm voice that makes you feel instantly at ease. With a heart as big as her to-do list, she’ll go out of her way to make sure every patient feels heard, cared for, and completely supported. Often described as a real-life Disney princess, Elizabeth radiates warmth, patience, and grace. She is always finding ways to lift others up with compassion and humility. She makes the world —and our front desk—a much better place.
