🤩 TEAM SPOTLIGHT: Andrea Cantrell
We’re incredibly fortunate to have Andrea on our team! With over 25 years of experience in the optical field, her depth of knowledge and expertise as a licensed dispensing optician are truly invaluable.
Originally from Upper East Tennessee, Andrea is as sweet as her southern charm. She has worked at Envision as an Optical Expert for five years now, capturing the hearts of her patients and teammates with her professionalism, care, kindness, and vibrant personality.
Outside of work, Andrea enjoys spending quality time with friends and family, especially her fiancé, Tucker, and their adorable bernedoodle puppy, Trixie. She’s also a licensed hypnotherapist—just one more example of her diverse talents and dedication to helping others!
If you’ve worked with Andrea before, you know just how incredible she is at finding the perfect pair of frames and filling our optometrists` prescriptions with precision for optimal visual clarity.
We’re so grateful to have her on our team and want to recognize and celebrate all the ways she contributes to our success!

🤩 Envision is Officially MOVING at the End of June!!!
GET HYPED, GET PSYCHED! The big move is finally upon us this month and we couldn’t be more excited to share these updates with you.
If you’ve driven by our soon-to-be location, you’ve probably noticed some new colors on the corner of East Chestnut Street & Liberty Street. Finishing touches are happening from a newly refinished parking lot out front, to cabinetry, electrical, and flooring inside. Muralist Scott Allred of Brushcan Murals has been hard at work, breathing new life into our space with vibrant colors and a bold design! Be sure to check out our blog on our website through the link in our bio to see more progress photos and a message from our president and founder, Dr. Larry Golson!!!
With a move of this scale, there is still a lot of work left to do and a lot of moving pieces. This includes you, our patients - you’re each a part of this move too! If you have any scheduled follow-ups, we will be in touch to be sure you are well taken care of.
Please anticipate limited accessibility during the week of June 23rd. In support of this huge endeavor, we will also be closed on Friday, June 27. We are also closed on Friday, July 4th in observance of Independence Day, and expect to be fully operational following the holiday weekend. Thank you for your continued patronage as we open a new chapter of Envision. None of this could happen without you!
