A shoutout to Bil, our lab manager at Modern Eye Center City 👉🏼

When he’s not keeping the lab running, Bil is busy roasting coffee because apparently one craft just wasn’t enough🤘🏼. He’s also a cat dad, film lover, and pasta enthusiast. ☕️🎞️🐈🍝

Catch Bil behind the scenes at Modern Eye Center City, and maybe ask him what he’s brewing lately.
