At Schroeder Optical, we believe independent eye care providers deserve a lab partner that offers flexibility, transparency, and real support – not limitations.
As a family-owned, multi-generational optical lab, everything we do is handled in-house. This gives us complete control over quality, turnaround times, and most importantly, the service we provide to you and your patients.
Unlike large corporate labs, we don’t operate behind layers of policy or overseas production. We are accessible, accountable, and focused on delivering the best possible outcome for every job.
One of the biggest frustrations with corporate labs is the lack of communication. Call centers and offshore production often create a disconnect between the person taking the order and the technician producing it.
At Schroeder Optical, that doesn’t happen.
Our customer service team works directly with lab technicians in real time, allowing us to:
If needed, you can even speak directly with leadership. We believe in being available, approachable, and responsive – because that’s what true partnership looks like.
We are not tied to a single manufacturer or restricted by corporate agreements, which means we can offer a full range of lens brands and technologies, ensuring your patients receive the most appropriate solution – not just what a supplier wants to sell.
Corporate labs often limit your options to their own products. We take a different approach.
We believe your patients deserve choice. Whether it’s lens design, material, or coating, we help you select what’s best for the prescription, lifestyle, and budget – every time.
We offer a full range of in-house tinting and coating services, allowing for greater flexibility and customization.
Whether standard or specialty finishes, we maintain strict quality control throughout the process.
Our finishing department is equipped to handle all frame types, including complex and specialty jobs.
With advanced edging systems, we can deliver:
We specialize in handling jobs that require attention to detail and technical expertise.
From unique prescriptions to non-standard frame requirements, our team is equipped to find solutions where others cannot.
While we are proudly independent, we invest in the same advanced technology used by large international labs, including:
This allows us to deliver high-quality, consistent results without outsourcing any part of the process.
Fully In-House Production
All materials except for glass are done in house. If there is a job that we can’t do, we will find a way to get what you need. You won’t have to look anywhere else!!
This ensures:
From surfacing to finishing, your work stays under one roof.
We are proud to support independent eye care professionals (ECPs). Our entire model is built around helping independent practices compete and thrive.
We offer:
At Schroeder Optical, we don’t see ourselves as just a supplier – we see ourselves as part of your team.
You’ll never be just another account number. You’ll have direct access to people who understand your needs, care about your patients, and are committed to delivering the highest standard of work.
If you’re looking for a lab that offers true independence, advanced capability, and real support, we invite you to partner with Schroeder Optical.
Experience the difference of a lab that works with you – not around you.
