Favorite wholesale lab

What is the favorite wholesale lab in Florida?

[Pete Hanlin]

Are you looking to stir up a hornet's nest?!? :D

I managed a OD practice in Tallahassee, and used several laboratories. Eventually, we tried Milroy (in Tampa) and were very satisfied. So, speaking only for me- I'd say Milroy.

Since moving to Tampa (and Essilor), I've had occasion to meet the people at Future Optics (owned by Jim Zellmer) here in St. Petersburg. Although I've never sent them work as an Optician, I've heard a lot of great things about them, I know they do great work, and its a family owned enterprise.


PS- By way of disclaimer, Milroy is an ELOA (Essilor owned) laboratory, and I'm employed by the Essilor Lens Group. However, they do happen to be the lab I had the best success with as a dispenser, so take my reference to them for what its worth.
