Doctors and opticians, Ballard since 2014
The people behind
your prescription.
Two optometrists, a licensed optician who lives for frames, and the person who makes insurance make sense. Small on purpose, so you see the same faces every year.

Myopia control & kids’ eye care
Dr. Hana Sato, OD
Optometrist & founder
Doctor of Optometry, 12 years in practice
Hana opened Lumen in 2014 after years in a busy hospital eye clinic. She sees many of our youngest patients and leads our myopia management program, explaining every option, glasses, specialty contact lenses and eye drops, in plain language so families can decide together.

Contact lenses & dry eye
Dr. Luis Ortega, OD
Optometrist
Doctor of Optometry, 10 years in practice
Luis fits everything from first-time daily lenses to toric and multifocal designs. He also runs our dry eye clinic, helping people who spend long days at screens find a routine that makes their eyes feel more comfortable.

Frame styling & lens fitting
Priya Shah, ABOC
Licensed optician & frame stylist
ABOC-certified optician, Licensed in Washington
Priya runs the frame wall. She’ll ask how you spend your day, pull a handful of frames you might not have picked yourself, and take the measurements that make progressive and high-index lenses feel right from day one.

Scheduling & insurance
Owen Clarke
Front desk & insurance
Vision benefits coordinator
Owen checks your vision plan before you arrive, so you know what’s covered and what isn’t. He also sends appointment texts, handles contact lens reorders and fixes the occasional loose hinge while you wait.
Three promises we keep.
Meet us in person.
Book an exam online, or stop by the studio to browse frames with Priya.
