Optical Associate Part Time in Bakersfield, CA 11279

Our heritage in eye care spans more than 100 years. In 1885, opticians William Wall and Charles Ochs opened their first eyeglass store and manufacturing facility in Philadelphia, PA. Their reputation for fine eyewear and superior eye care grew, and Wall & Ochs was soon synonymous with exceptional quality and great value.

In the early 1970’s, Wall & Ochs became U.S. Vision in response to a growing reputation for quality and the customer base that came with it. Today, we have more than 350 locations located in JCPenney, Meijer, Boscov’s and AAFES.
