    Another one bites the dust!

    I used to get my lenses through Lenstock.com via Professional Ophthalmic Lab in Roanoke. No more - they're part of the big E now. Rats!

    I'm not sure if you remember how FezzJohns was formed, but it came out of necessity, about 8 years ago,when Fezz and I tried to buy Bausch and Lomb. We needed to do it as a corporate entity, we formed FezzJohns, and the rest is history.

    POL has been purchased by Essilor, not LenStock. Since POL is no longer a member of Global Optics, they can no longer be a sponsoring lab for LenStock. So LenStock is moving POL LenStock customers to other Global Optics members.
