opticians and optometrists
Armstrong‑Root Opticians opened in Brentwood, California in 1993, then expanded to Malibu, Salt Lake City and Sun Valley. While the California and Utah locations merged with Oliver Peoples (Luxottica) in 2001, the Ketchum boutique continues under Laurrine McGowan’s leadership — upholding a legacy of exquisite eyewear, impeccable service, and advanced diagnostics.
