Owens Optometrics is the oldest continuous ophthalmic practice in Lancaster County.  Over 100 years ago, Jonathan Sensenig started his optical shop as an extension of his jewelry store; later he furthered his education and became an optometrist.  In 1946, Dr Albert “Buddy” Wascou assumed the practice.  A progressive clinician, he was the first in the county to fit contact lenses.  Dr. Robert L. Owens joined his practice in 1980 and continued Dr. Wascou’s pioneering contact lens tradition.  Dr. Owens, an honors graduate of Penn State University and the Pennsylvania College of Optometry, is actively involved in vision research.  A member of the PA Department of Transportation’s Medical Advisory Board, and chair of Motorist’s Vision Committee of the PA Optometric Society, he is published in numerous clinical journals. 

Here at Owens Optometrics, we strive to combine the elements of quality eye health care with friendly customer service.  We believe the true merit of a practice rests on its ability to deliver personalized care at a reasonable fee.  We hold our patients’ welfare in the highest esteem and offer them the compassion, concern and respect that we would demand for ourselves.  Our staff is committed to staying informed of the latest advances in all areas of eye health and products.  We pride ourselves in going the extra mile for our patients!
