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 eye glass 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 eye glass frame and prescription eyeglass lens manufacturers in the area, producing many popular eye glass frame styles of the time with polarized tints. Since then, Rochester Optical has added a large, full- service optical lab oratory , a wholesale business line, and a stock lens facility and created wearable device solutions using augmented reality technology.
