Reception
Tania Perrins
I’m originally from the UK, I began my career in optics on the fashion side, helping people choose the perfect frames and working directly with patients. Nine years ago, my husband and I, along with our four children, made the move to Austin, Texas, a city we now love for its vibrant culture and endless activities.
In my free time, I enjoy DIY projects, whether it's crafting home decor or refurbishing furniture. Family time is incredibly important to me, and I cherish every moment spent with my husband and kids, whether we're exploring Austin's parks or enjoying a cozy movie night at home.
Professionally, I am fortunate to work at Wink Optical and Eye Care with the incredible Dr. Gohel. I love the boutique feel of our practice, which allows us to provide a level of personal service that is both friendly and relaxing. At Wink, every patient is treated with the utmost care and attention, creating an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and comfortable.
Looking ahead, I am excited about the possibilities for growth and development in my role at Wink. My goal is to continue enhancing the personalized experience we provide, ensuring that each visit to Wink is nothing short of exceptional.

I'm a Navy brat, raised by a Top Gun pilot, and have devoted over 35 years to the optical and ophthalmology field. My diverse roles included technician, optical sales, frame boards, and extensive customer service. I'm committed to staying current through continuous learning and courses. For me, it's not just a job; it's about forging personal connections with patients who become like family.
Sun City Georgetown is my current home, and I'm fascinated by the evolving landscape of Leander. I appreciate the flexibility and generosity of my employer, making every day a learning opportunity. Beyond work, I'm an outdoor enthusiast and actively volunteer for the Round Rock Police Department, contributing to community well-being.
Family is a source of immense pride, especially my seven grandchildren ranging from three to 27 years old. Their presence is a constant source of joy and gratitude in my life.
Meeting new people is a passion, and I approach it with a commitment to providing a warm, personalized experience. I believe in creating meaningful connections, making each interaction more than just a transaction. Here's to a journey of continuous growth, learning, and building connections—one frame at a time!
Dr. Gohel’s Parents
Chandresh & Shobhana Gohel
We can’t talk about Wink without talking about these two. Dr. Gohel is the proud daughter of two of the hardest working individuals she has ever met. Chandresh and Shobhana Gohel played an integral part in the start of Wink Optical and Eye Care in that they are responsible for raising their daughter to be the ambitious and successful woman she is today. Being the daughter of immigrants, Dr. Gohel saw first hand the tough climb her parents had to make to achieve their own success, and in a foreign land. Winks founding is rooted in the very dogma that her culture and family instilled within her, which is to be kind, and care for all. Thank you parents :)
