NEED TO KNOW INFO
The capabilities of the in-office laboratory grow more sophisticated each year. Dispensers are taking advantage of new technologies in tinting, edging, tracing, surfacing and even casting to produce high-performance lenses for their increasingly discriminating patients.

Whether you’re a solo practitioner with a small in-office lab or the manager of an on-site lab in a retail chain, the suppliers listed below can help you find the right equipment to fit your needs.

When it comes to ophthalmic lenses, eyecare professionals need a scorecard to keep track of the ever increasing amount of products on the market. This at-a-glance guide will help you find suppliers of every type of lens. Manufacturers and wholesale distributors are listed alphabetically, along with contact information, lens material and design availability. Contact the manufacturer to find out which wholesale laboratories distribute their products.
