Ashlee Sellers and “Mister Brian” Elliott, UAB Eye Care’s optician supervisor, share a bond built on trust, compassion, and sparkly pink glasses.

From childhood appointments to adult milestones, Brian’s thoughtful care and “lifestyle dispensing” philosophy have helped Ashlee, diagnosed with mitochondrial disease and optic nerve atrophy, feel seen, supported, and stylish through six pairs of glasses and countless memories.

Their story reminds us that real care goes beyond prescriptions, it’s about connection.
