About Us:
Established in 1932, Rochester Optical filled a growing need for protective tactical eyewear for the Armed Forces, aircraft pilots, and police officers. Later, Rochester Optical became one of the country's few military prescription eyeglass frame manufacturers and supplied the Army and the Air Force with combat-ready ballistic eyewear for soldiers. After WWII, the tactical eyewear company expanded its services to include creating and selling prescription eyeglasses for the public. Rochester Optical quickly became one of the best eyeglass frame and prescription eyeglass lens manufacturers in the area, producing many popular eyeglass frame styles of the time with polarized tints.
Since then, Rochester Optical has added a large, full-service optical laboratory, a wholesale business line, and a stock lens facility and created wearable device solutions using augmented reality technology.
Rochester Optical is an optical leader and innovator in the eyewear space. Our headquarters are in Rochester, NY, and we continue to expand our national and international reach.
This position is with RLab, the optical lab division of Rochester Optical.
