But don’t worry — your eye care continues with Dr. Christopher Tumolo at Beyond 2020 Vision Specialists.

Dr. Joseph Hatala, the long-standing and trusted optometric physician at Countryside Mall’s LensCrafters, has officially entrusted Dr. Christopher Tumolo to continue the highly personalized and compassionate eye care he’s provided for decades.

As of July 1, 2025, Dr. Hatala’s practice has relocated and is now proudly part of Beyond 2020 Vision Specialists, led by Dr. Tumolo, personally chosen by Dr. Hatala to uphold the same high standards in vision care.

We’re also excited to share that Rachel Bradley, Dr. Hatala’s office manager of over 18 years, has joined our team to ensure a seamless transition for all patients.
