Our Team

Hello and welcome! I’m Dr. Lisa Chute, and I’m so excited to be part of your eye care journey. I opened Flower City Optometry with the goal of creating a space where every patient feels comfortable, cared for, and confident about their vision and eye health. 

I received my Doctor of Optometry degree from The SUNY College of Optometry and have been practicing in Rochester since graduating from optometry school. Over the years, I’ve developed a special interest in dry eye management, ocular disease, myopia management, and scleral contact lenses. I love helping patients find solutions that improve not only their vision, but also their quality of life. 

When you visit Flower City Optometry, you can expect more than just an eye exam—you’ll experience personalized care in a welcoming environment. My goal is to combine state-of-the-art technology with genuine compassion so that every patient leaves feeling seen, understood, and cared for. 

One of my favorite parts of practicing optometry is helping patients find eyewear that makes them feel great. Glasses should never be “just functional”—they should reflect your personality, style, and lifestyle. At Flower City Optometry we select high-quality, fashionable frames so that every patient can enjoy eyewear that is as stylish as it is durable. Whether you’re looking for a timeless classic, a bold statement piece, or something in between, my team and I love guiding patients to the perfect pair. 

As a Rochester native, this community holds a special place in my heart. Growing up here taught me the value of hard work, kindness, and supporting one another. Now, it’s a privilege to give back to the city that shaped me by providing exceptional eye care for my neighbors, friends, and fellow Rochester families. Serving the people of my hometown is not just my profession—it’s my passion. 

Outside of the exam room, I enjoy cooking, baking, reading, spending time with my family and friends, my pets, wine, and darts. 

Thank you for trusting me and my team with your vision—we can’t wait to meet you at Flower City Optometry and help your eyes look, feel, and see their best. 

Hello! I’m Heather, and I’m excited to be part of the team at Flower City Optometry. 

One of my favorite things in this industry is helping people discover frames that match their personality and individual style. Eyewear has become such a fun form of self-expression, and I love the excitement when someone finds their new favorite pair. Every day, I get to help patients explore different styles - whether it’s a tried-and-true staple or a funky pop of color.

At Flower City Optometry, our patients will find fashionable eyewear made from quality materials, crafted with care, and designed with your vision at the core of everything we do. Nothing beats the moment when a patient tries on their new glasses and has that “wow!” reaction.

Outside of the office, I love exploring local spots to grab a bite, trying out new wines, or finding a good hiking or biking trail. I never feel more at peace than when my feet are in the sand and the sun is shining - of course while protecting my eyes with a great pair of sunglasses!
