Emily DeLarm, Licensed Optician

PROSPECT LOCATION

Emily started her career in eyecare in 2008, where she was cross-trained throughout an optometry practice and discovered her passion for opticianry. In 2017, she received her AS degree after completing the Ophthalmic Design and Dispensing program at MXCC. She is certified by the American Board of Opticianry and National Contact Lens Examiners. Emily is Vice President of the Connecticut Opticians Association and serves on the board of directors of the Contact Lens Society of America, in addition to being an active member of the Opticians Association of America.

Emily gained experience fitting contacts in an ophthalmology practice, where she primarily fit multifocal and high astigmatic soft lenses, as well as rigid gas permeables. Since starting at New Insight, she is now certified to fit MiSight myopia control lenses.
Emily finds nothing more rewarding than watching a patient’s reaction when they can see clearly in their glasses or contacts for the first time. She cares deeply about giving back and has had the honor of volunteering with the local Lion’s Club Special Olympics Opening Eyes clinic, the FIBUSPAM vision clinic in Ecuador, and the Native Eyes clinic, both in Connecticut and on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota.

She would love to meet you and help with your occupational and recreational needs!
