Don Stahl, Optical Manager

Don joined The Bixby Eye Center team in 2019, bringing seven years of eyecare industry experience with him. Born and raised in Fairbury, IL, he has enjoyed a varied career in several states that includes retail experience with large companies such as Hallmark and specialized retail in the music industry.

Don’s favorite parts of his job include selecting and buying fabulous frames for our patients and providing phenomenal customer experiences. Don attended Western Illinois University, and graduated from the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA with their Certificate of Completion!

Don lives in Mackinaw, IL with his wife, Dawn, and their Jack Russel terrier, Dexter Allen. When he is not helping patients up their eyewear game, he enjoys books, gardening, yard work, fishing, composing music, and perfecting his drumming skills (we hear he is quite good!).

The one thing Don thinks all our patients should know is how many pairs of glasses they really need: ophthalmic (regular, every day, dress glasses), sunglasses, readers, computer glasses, and a backup pair!
