Standard Optical Co., based in Salt Lake City, has completed its second acquisition of 2021 with the purchase of West Point Eye Center of West Point from Justin Holt. West Point Eye Center opened in 2017.

“Dr. Holt has built something special here in West Point and we’re fortunate to be able to continue his commitment to the people of this area,” said Standard Optical CEO Aaron Schubach.

Dr. Justin Holt completed optometry school in Puerto Rico 18 years ago and is known as a representative and speaker in behalf of Bausch & Lomb.

“Ironically, it was my employment at Standard Optical in the early 1990s, in part, that led me to select optometry as a profession, so it’s somewhat fitting that we have come full circle to partner with Standard Optical again.” Holt said. “My family and I have dedicated our lives to this practice and this community, so it’s bittersweet to see the practice change hands; however, we believe Standard Optical is the right partner to continue our legacy.”

Standard Optical has been in business since 1911 in Utah and has 21 locations in Utah and a laser center in Salt Lake City.
