A Look Inside Our Flagship Lab

Located in Dothan, Alabama, our 4,900-square-foot flagship optical lab is the heartbeat of our eyewear production. This advanced facility supports all of our locations across the Southeast and is equipped with the latest digital free-form lens technology—allowing us to produce high-precision lenses that meet the unique vision needs of each patient.

Our lab is staffed by a team of highly skilled technicians who meticulously craft each pair of prescription lenses. From single-vision to progressive lenses, every product that passes through our lab is subject to strict quality standards to ensure optimal clarity, comfort, and performance.

Fast Turnaround, Quality You Can Trust

It’s important to note that some insurance plans require lenses to be made through their own partner labs, which may affect processing times.

That’s why our optical lab focuses on both functionality and aesthetics, producing lenses that deliver clear, accurate vision and pair perfectly with your selected frames.
