Quality
without compromise.

Industry leading quality at game-changing prices. It's that simple. 

Our lens design & production processes have redefined turnaround time and progressive adaptation rates. Backed by a simple universal warranty and optician-to-optician support, you'll see The Core Lab difference in every pair we make.

Where engineering & optics meet.

Our lens generators and surfacing machines are overseen by the engineers that design them. We use our knowledge of design software to allow opticians and their patients to instruct it themselves, creating custom lenses based on familiar designs. 

We see custom progressives as one of the areas where local opticals can further differentiate from onlines and box stores.

 Plenty of opticals sell a progressive lens.
 Yours can offer truly personalized designs available nowhere else.
 

What is a custom progressive? 

The first thing to know is that any surfaced lens is a product of its hardware, a lens generator, and its software. And the reality is that in 2025, there is no meaningful propirietary technology in either one. Most all modern labs use similar machines and software. 

Our edge is in understanding the intracacies of the software. In short, any progressive design is at heart an algorithm. Our software can pull data from another design, make adjustments based on usage, and/or make a completely custom-made lens. We call this design system LensConnect. 

Do you also offer typical branded designs?

Absolutely. Our state of the art lens generators can produce a huge array of well-known designs from longstanding brands, the same as other labs. We refer to these as "branded" designs, as the trademarks associated with using them necessitate a higher cost. 

We also offer "generic" versions of these designs, similar to how branded medications work. These are functionally equivalent, or more so, as they allow for more modifications based on patient usage. These can be produced in the same machines at much lower cost.

What is our simple universal warranty?

Every in-house job we produce are warranted for the life of the prescription. Two doctor remakes are also covered, free of charge for 60 days. To stand behind our quality even more, we also full refunds on all of the same work. For branded lenses, we defer to the respective warranties of the company.
