    Wave What lab do you use?

    Hello fellow optiboarders!

    I was wondering which lab you use to order stock and uncuts? We are a finishing lab looking to make a change!

    Thanks in advance!

    I use Pech for all uncuts in IOT designs with EZC ar. Best value and quality with 2-3 days delivery now.

    Don't ask Barry. He was mad at one of his labs recently.

    I've had good luck with Luzerne, Laramy-K, Rochester Optical and US Optical. All independent. Stock lenses from LBI, also independent.

    I use Luzerne exclusively. Excellent Lab, Fantastic customer service and they consistently produce professional, spot-on lenses. Couldn't be happier.

    We use Lenstock.com out of Greenbay, Wi. You make the choice on delivery time; overnight, or two day ups ground. Great selection and price. You'll pay a little extra for overnite delivery, but you can't beat it when you have an emergency order for A/R coated lens and want it tomorrow.
    The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
