Ric Peralta, known as the Optical Jedi, has been working in the eye care field for over 30 years. He began his career while still in high school, with the intention to pursue a career as an optometrist. After completing his BS in Biology from the University of San Francisco, and taking his OAT, he realized his true calling and passion lay in the dispensary. Nearly 10 years working in Beverly Hills taught him how to find solutions for highly demanding patients. Since 2000, his primary focus has been in the understanding of frame and lens technologies and perfecting a system for adjusting frames to improve patient vision and comfort in the era of modern digital lenses.
In 2017, Ric began a blog to provide information to patients so they could be better prepared to ask the right questions when they visited their ECPs. Since that time, he has launched on social media platforms with the goal of educating other opticians and eyewear professionals so they may better provide exceptional service to their patients. In 2021, he began consulting services, to train individual practices on their specific needs.This February, Ric was named the 2023 Healthy Sight Ambassador at the Transitions Academy Innovation Awards.
