Carl J Powell is a name many of us recognize. A dedicated optician and former board member of the OAO, Carl helped shape the direction and strength of our passion through both leadership and commitment to excellence. While it's been some time since he was actively involved, his impact has never left, nor has the spotlight. 

 

Carl has been recognized as one of the best opticians in the field, an honor that reflects his skill, integrity, and genuine care for patients. His practice, Primary Eye Care in Troy has also been recognized with top honors. These acknowledgements, awarded by Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, speak not only to Carl's individual excellence, but to the standards of care and professionalism that define his entire practice. Today, we're not just recognizing his achievements, but celebrating his leadership and welcome return to the conversation.
