Carol Lamy
Laboratory Services Manager
Diversified Ophthalmics, Inc.
Cincinnati, OH

CHOSEN BECAUSE... “Carol excels at everything from setting pricing to job and project analysis. She regularly travels to all our nine different locations making sure that the customers are being served in the best possible fashion.”

From ballet to base curves, Carol Lamy’s career path to laboratory services manager for Diversified Ophthalmics was not your usual route. Trained as a professional ballet dancer, Lamy spent 10 years in Europe performing before returning to the U.S. with a French, fifth generation optician husband. Lamy purchased an optical laboratory where she worked hard at building the business for 13 years. Opera Optical was quite successful with an outstanding reputation in the Cincinnati area. Lamy has been with Diversified for seven years where she acts as a lens and lab consultant, troubleshooting lens issues with customers and identifying and finding solutions to challenges in the lab. She resides with her husband in Cincinnati and has a daughter in medical school and a son serving in the U.S. Navy.

SHE SAYS... “Ballet taught me many of the basics in life that can be translated into business.Work hard, strive for perfection, minimize movement, maximize efficiency, analyze and improve, are all basic verbs that I learned throughout my years in ballet. More than anything, though, it is important to be passionate about your business, and the work and pleasure will flow together.”
