Our Story

For years, Dr. Michele Sonsino split her practice in two locations: a trendy downtown Chicago optical, learning the art of boutique-style eyecare, and in the south side of Chicago, working with disadvantaged patients in the diagnosis and treatment of ocular diseases. Dr. Sonsino brought these varied experiences to Nashville and introduces a new concept in eyecare: Optique. 

The Optique Difference

At Optique we pride ourselves on thorough patient care. We take the time to help our patients understand the details of their condition, allowing them to see their best! The award winning eye care of Optique is matched with the largest selection of eyewear brands in Tennessee.
