Alex Bennett / Optician

Alex has been in the optical industry since 2008 when he was hired to edge lenses at a private practice lab in Fort Collins, Colo. “The owners’ daughter saw potential and thought I would be a successful optician, and they began my training immediately,” he said. After four years with that practice, Bennett relocated to Denver, Colo. where he has been working with Peepers Optical. He’s currently in the process of completing prerequisite courses to qualify for optometry school.

Owns four prescription glasses and three prescription sunglasses.

“I like these frames because of their bold styling and unique color (a matte blue/grey striping) with titanium accents. I receive more compliments about these frames than any of the others that I wear. For an acetate frame, they are unbelievably lightweight and comfortable to wear.”
