Rochester Optical is an independent wholesale optical laboratory based in Rochester New York. I am responsible for developing and managing ECP accounts in a multi-state territory centered on Louisville Kentucky using a consultative approach. As I approach my 4th decade in this industry in both retail and wholesale optical I bring knowledge and a perspective to help optical retailers train their staff and grow their business in this changing marketplace. If you are looking to lower cost without sacrificing quality our RO brand of Digital Lenses are a great fit for you. If you prefer the security of a known quality band name, we can help there as well. Show less
