Jace Pluemer, Optician

***Please note that Jace has returned to school full time planning to pursue a graduate degree in Organic Chemistry at UC Irvine. He still fills in at times when needed so you may see him when you stop in to our office.
Our optician actually has been with our practice since birth! Say hello to Jace Pluemer! If our optician looks familiar it is because you may have seen him in our office before. Jace is Dr. Miller's son and has been working here checking in frames and filing since he was in 4th grade. A graduate of Villa Park High School, Jace completed his training as an optician and had the opportunity to shadow our previous optician so is well prepared to meet your optical needs. Jace loves glasses. He loves wearing them and has several different styles depending on his mood. He is skilled as a frame consultant and truly enjoys helping our patients find the right look. |
Jace is also very knowledgeable about lens products and is passionate about saving our patients from the detriments of blue light radiation emitted by flat screen televisions, computers, tablets and phone screens. He wears polycarbonate, blue tech anti-reflection coating and transitions lenses so he can educate you from personal experience.
In his spare time, Jace enjoys gaming, hanging out with friends, hugging kittens, cooking, snowboarding and time with his family (his mom made him put that in but he really does like it anyway). He is also very friendly on the phone and would love to schedule your next appointment for you. So please stop by and meet Jace if you have not already!
