Our Story



Hi, I’m Melissa, the founder of OptiStrips.

For over two decades, I’ve dedicated my career to educating clients and students on effective skincare strategies—focusing on prevention, protection, and repair. As a licensed esthetician, I’ve seen firsthand the impact that prolonged eyeglass wear can have on the skin, particularly the pressure-induced damage on the nose bridge.

Driven to find a solution, I developed OptiStrips™️

to address this often-overlooked issue. OptiStrips™️ are designed to prevent long-lasting skin damage, ensuring a comfortable and positive eyewear experience.

What started as a solution for my clients is now available to you. I looked forward to hearing how OptiStrips has made a difference in your life.
