Indie Optical Laboratories in The USA 2018

By
Feldman Daniel
-

Every year we post updated information on various subjects that are always asked about: Made in USA eyewear products and what are the independent optical labs in the United States. We try to do an update once a year ergo our ‘Indie Optical Laboratory’ list for 2018. We hope this info is as true today as the day we first started working on it.

Again, we ask: What is an independent? For clarification, the optical labs we have listed are independent because they are not a publicly owned or run company. This is to the best of our knowledge. A few retailers have optical surfacing labs and some may take outside work.

We listed Augen Optics as they do have a lab in the United States and they are a family run business. Walman is listed because it is an employee-owned company even with 48 labs in the United States.  Is ABB-Concise is independent? We said yes because they are privately owned. We did not include Essilor Partner Labs. 

What is an independent lab? Some only do work for other labs, some are coating labs, low vision labs, safety labs, speciality labs and uncut labs, surfacing and finishing labs. The listings below are to the best of our knowledge. We have tried to contact as many as possible to confirm if they do have an optical lab onsite. Please note this listing can change on any day!
