MeeT the Opticians and Technicians at Our Optical

Kara Colecchia

Owner & Licensed Optician

I was born and raised here in Largo and graduated from Largo High School in 1985. I started working at the Optical Factory and Showroom part-time after school, and I’ve been here ever since – haha! My staff would probably describe me as the “easy button” – I’m always up for a challenge when it comes to helping our patients with difficult prescriptions find the lenses that work best for their lifestyle. I currently reside in Palm Harbor, happily married with one grown-up son and one furry son at home. I couldn’t ask for a better career these past 40 years – I get to spend my days helping others see beautifully!

Darlene Holm Fincher

Owner & Licensed Optician

Licensed since 1976, I was blessed to open the Optical Factory and Showroom with my wonderful father and founder, Robert Holm. Since 1977, our motto, “Dedicated to making you see beautifully,” highlights our commitment to providing the highest standard of personalized care, quality, and an amazing array of products. We obtain the most advanced technology and education for the benefit of our clientele. Kara, our wonderful optical family, and I are rewarded daily with the joy of providing the gift of sight. Outside my optical world, I enjoy gatherings with family and friends, reading, sports, theater, movies, trips to the beach, and traveling.

Linda Johnson

Optician

I am a Florida licensed optician. I have practiced in the Tampa bay area since 1986. I am  passionate about utilizing the latest in technology to ensure that our patients achieve their best possible vision. I am driven to provide an exceptional experience, from guiding patients through their frame and lens selections to ensuring a proper fit at dispensing. I am always happy to assist our patients with any of their eyewear needs. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and family (especially my grandson lol), boating and I am active in my church.
