Collard Rose Optical

Collard Rose Optical Laboratory is a full-service wholesale optical laboratory based in Whittier, California, specializing in the production of high-quality prescription eyeglass lenses and advanced optical coatings. Founded in 1942 and later expanded under the leadership of the Hernandez family, the company became a prominent regional provider of vision correction solutions for eye care professionals. The laboratory utilizes advanced technologies such as free-form digital surfacing and specialized anti-reflective coatings to produce a wide range of products, including progressive and polarized lenses. In 2009, the company was acquired by Essilor of America, a subsidiary of the global ophthalmic leader EssilorLuxottica. Following the acquisition, Collard Rose Optical was integrated into Essilor's extensive network of laboratories, continuing to support brands like Varilux, Crizal, and Transitions.
