We're An Optical Partner
At RLab, we believe clear vision is the foundation of a vibrant, fulfilling life. That belief drives everything we do—from empowering eye care professionals with premium lens solutions to helping patients experience life in sharper focus.
As part of the Rochester Optical ecosystem, we’re backed by decades of industry insight, innovation, and craftsmanship. Each brand within our network contributes to our collective expertise—giving RLab the edge in product development, lens technology, and service excellence.
More than just a lens provider, RLab is your independent, U.S.-based partner in precision and performance. We deliver exceptional value through personalized service, trusted turnaround times, and advanced lens technologies designed to elevate the patient experience and help your practice thrive. Together, we’re not only improving vision. We’re improving lives.
Since 1932, Rochester Optical has been driven by a mission to protect and enhance vision. It started with a simple but vital need: creating durable eyewear for military pilots and patrolmen. Through World War II, we became one of the country’s few manufacturers of combat-ready frames, trusted by the U.S. Army and Air Force.
After World War II, we expanded into everyday eyewear, creating popular polarized styles that resonated with the public. In 1990, under new leadership, we grew thoughtfully—adding a full-service optical lab, wholesale solutions, and innovative wearable device technologies, all while proudly remaining an independent, U.S.-based company headquartered in Rochester, NY.
Today, with a dedicated team of over 100, Rochester Optical continues to innovate and lead, partnering with eye care professionals across the East Coast to deliver quality, precision, and personalized service.
Let’s frame your success—together.
