Jenny can, having spent the last 15 years wearing many hats at Dakota Vision Center. "I've done just about everything except give exams," she said. A native of Greene, Iowa, Jenny believes a good optician needs to "Keep up with the new technology and listen to patients so you know what their needs are."
