Hope you had a wonderful holiday season and happy new year! ✨

I’m closing out 2025 with a heart full of gratitude 🤍
These photos capture a mix of holiday moments and a few highlights from my year.

2025 was filled with time with friends and family, meaningful work, gardening, lots of Black Mountain love, and also deep loss. It was a year of holding space for both joy and grief, with ups and downs and so many memories along the way. Through it all, I’m incredibly grateful — for the people in these photos, the connections made, and the clients and friends, both new and old, who continue to support me.

Heading into 2026 feeling thankful, hopeful, and genuinely excited for what’s ahead ✨

Last call for HSA/FSA benefits 👀
If yours expire at year-end and you’re suddenly realizing you still have funds you’re not alone.

Here’s the good news: you can purchase glasses or sunglasses from me before the deadline and schedule your eye exam for January. Your benefits are based on the purchase date, and exam reimbursement after year-end varies by plan.

Easy, smart, and way better than letting that money disappear!

📧 Email me at kim@kbarber.com to purchase before the 31st!

As the year winds down, this season feels like a pause, a moment to slow down, reflect, and appreciate what truly matters.

To my friends, family, & clients, thank you for being part of this year and for the trust, support, and connection along the way. You made this year meaningful in all the best ways.

Wishing you a happy holiday, a joyful close to the year, and a New Year filled with love and great things ahead. ✨🎄🤍

Designer Spotlight: 👓✨

If eyewear had a personality, l.a. Eyeworks would be the one walking into the room turning heads and not apologizing for it.

Born in Los Angeles in the 1970s, this iconic brand was created by two opticians who believed glasses should be expressive, playful, and a little rebellious. Decades later, that same spirit lives on through bold color, unexpected shapes, and frames that feel more like wearable art than an accessory.

l.a. Eyeworks is for people who like to stand out, who see their glasses as part of their identity, and who want something you definitely won’t spot on everyone else.

If you’re craving statement frames and want help finding the pair that feels so you, I’ve got you.
I’m a short drive from Asheville in the adorable town of Black Mountain and I have independent eyewear that you won’t find at a typical optical store.

✨ By appointment only click the link in bio to book — book your personalized eyewear styling session and come try on a little LA magic.

One of the biggest myths I hear? ‘After cataract surgery, I won’t need glasses anymore.’

Sometimes your vision improves but most people still benefit from the right prescription for reading, driving, or daily clarity.

If you’re noticing strain or blur after surgery, come see me. The right lenses make all the difference.

On 11/22 my bother passed away. His health had been declining over the past 5 years. I'm grateful he's not longer suffering. It's a hard loss and only months after my father's passing.

About Kim

I have been a dispensing optician since 1986. Throughout this time I have worked in large Opthomology practices, chain stores, and Independent Optical shops. For the past 20 years I’ve been working in high-end, high-quality optical with independent frame manufacturers from France, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Italy, and Japan. These manufacturers create works of art for your face.

In March of 2019, I decided to open a boutique optical shop. The time had come to build something for myself and the amazing clients with whom I have been working for many years. It’s been very exciting to create this unique offering, keeping with small independent manufacturers who produce a high-quality product and are affordable for my clients. I have discovered some fabulous designers from Europe and also found great companies that are in the USA.

The prospect of reconnecting with previous clients and meeting new ones excites me. Come in with your prescription and we’ll make you an excellent pair of glasses that highlights your personal expression. Call for an appointment and come see some exciting new unique and high-quality products at affordable prices.

If you have trouble getting to me, I will come to you. A modest fee would be charged for single sales but if you purchase two or more pairs, there will be no fee. Gather your friends together and we’ll make a party of it.
