Local Stories

Today we’d like to introduce you to Gazal Tabrizipour.

Gazal has been in the eye industry since she was a child. She has worn contacts, and glasses for years and because she could not stand glasses, she wanted to create something that was great looking but also very comfortable. Gazal’s career in optics grew after she graduated with her Opticianary degree and opened her first luxury eyewear boutique called Atlanta Vision Optical. The boutique opened in 2008 and she will be opening a flagship boutique for her private collection called Gazal Eyecare in the fall of 2017.

It has always been a desire to design eyewear and this finally came true after working a few actors asked for some custom work. The custom designs blossomed into an entire collection. The collections can be found at Atlanta Vision Optical boutique in Atlanta near Inman Park and Candler Park as well as at Gazal Eyecare in Historic Roswell Georgia.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has not been a smooth road, but the end goal wouldn’t be worth it without a roller coaster experience. The struggles seem endless but it is always a challenge when you open a new business in an up and coming area and that same year the economy completely crashes. An economic crash and several smash and grabs later caused a lot of stress but also helps thicken the skin a little and teaches necessary business survival skills.

Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Gazal Eyewear – what should we know?
We own and operate Atlanta Vision Optical & Gazal Eyecare which both provide routine eye care and exams, eyeglasses, and contact lenses. Gazal Eyewear is her private line of luxury eyewear and sunglasses which distributes eyewear to independent eyecare practices across the nation and also online at www.GazalEyecare.com

We specialize in unique frame designs and custom contact lenses which can be used for specialty patients but also in film and television. Our motto is the “patient is first” and “luxury is in the details”. What sets us apart is we truly have perfected the art of eye care from product design to patient care. We are constantly training our staff, learning new things ourselves, and strive for innovation in design.

Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Our success stems from one characteristic, details. You can’t miss the details and improving the fine qualities makes all the difference.
