Hi Everyone,
I am trying to do a bit more research on labs as I am having some issues with mine. Can anyone suggest a wholesale lab with finishing capabilities please?
Thanks!

24 hr turnaround time for A/R, progressives, Freeform. excellent quality and fair prices.
DOWNFALL: no Varilux lenses because they're in the same city as their old lab which was purchased by Essilor.
Luzerne Optical, great prices and service. The quality is impeccable.

*Dave at OptiVision has a web based tracer integration package that's awesome.
I have had the pleasure of working with several different labs. The one lab that I do most of my work with is Interstate Optical. Interstate Optical has two lab locations. One is located in Mansfield, Ohio and the other is located in Indianaplis, Indiana. The lab does excellent work, the turn around is fast, the jobs and products they produce are always high quality and I have been very happy with them. Our office has been using Interstate for 20 plus years. As an optican I find my self on the phone with the lab on a daily basis, Interstate Optical customer service is amazing, the rep's bend over backwards to get you what you need in a timely fashion and are all very knowledgeable. Interstate also supplys a wide varity of frames and lenses: Varilux, Shamir, Rodenstock, McGee Group, ROI, and Eyewear Designs just to name a few.

Pretty competitive pricing, and wide selection of lenses and available A/R coatings and they do in-house flash mirror (Zeiss "cool" series).
try peninsula optical 360 377 7788 /capitol optical 503 720 4418. is your lab the big E in portland?
Hi, I'm the New England rep for US Optical in E Syracuse. We run all our surfaced lenses now digitally and offer 24 hr service on uncuts, even with Zeiss AR. we have a robotic setup for edging and can do trace and transmit. email me at optikdave@aol.com and I'll forward our price list via pdf file.
Money carefully refunded
No... my lab is on the other side of the country!
WOW everyone! Thank you for taking time to help me out. I LOVE this board!
You all rock!
Lots of them at http://optochemicals.com/web_listing.htm
scroll down to optical lab section
I would suggest Pech Optical...they have I think 5 of the MEI type edgers that are superb on 8 base wraps or any other difficult edging situation. We have used them for many years and never had any serious problems. Gary
Has anyone noticed a decline in lab quality when the labs are bought out by the giants?
Anyone noticed that once the high priced spreads (free-form and the like) are introduced a decline in the quality and speed of run of the mill stuff from thier labs?
