The Bard Optical Difference


Medical-Modeled Practice

Our unique medical-modeled approach to eye care means we don’t just focus on updating prescriptions for eyewear: we provide comprehensive eye exams to manage our patients’ eye conditions and promote long-term visual clarity.

We Promote Within

We encourage our employees to put down roots with us and grow by investing in their careers. We recognize our team members’ abilities and work with them to pave a path forward based on their personal and professional goals.

If being creative and helping others are things you value in your career, then look no further. Our staff has a passion for guiding patients to the best eyewear for their fashion, lifestyle, and vision needs.

Giving Back to Our Communities

Working for Bard Optical means you’re working to better our community — because giving back through charitable endeavors has been part of what we do since our founding in 1942.

You can collect a paycheck anywhere, but you won’t always find an experienced leadership team that fosters a positive, engaging, and rewarding employment experience for everyone — not to mention our generous perks and benefits package!
