Brooklyn lab cut & mount turnaround
Most online retailers drop-ship your prescription to a third-party lab and hope for the best. We don't. Our 12-person optical team runs a 48-hour cut-and-mount operation out of a converted warehouse in Williamsburg — the same place that upgraded our defect rate from 2.1% to 0.8% in eighteen months.
