While our partners at the Green Bay Packers prepare to make their picks, we’re preparing to make some picks of our own.
Tomorrow April 9th, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM CST, our Customer Care Team will be stepping away from the phones and SpecCheck live chat to sharpen their skills.
But don’t worry, they’ll be back soon – better than ever!

We are “seekers of better” - from boldly pioneering new processes to our obsession with cultivating happy people. We offer an accelerated turnaround time with lenses crafted to meet the highest quality standards by experts who have recived the same certifications as opticians. All this in an effort to give eye care professionals more ways to say “yes” to their patients.
As an independently-owned optical laboratory, we give eye care professionals the autonomy to choose the lens brands, materials, styles and coatings that best fit the individual needs of patients. Through our proximity to and part-ownership of a local lens distribution warehouse, Cherry maintains the largest and most diverse lens inventory in the world.
Cherry Optical, Inc has been named IDD Laboratory of the Year four times – (2010, 2012, & 2017, 2018) and presented the Varilux Award of Excellence three years in a row (2015, 2016 & 2017) – by consistently leading with innovation.
Our team was also recognized by Optical Lab Products as Lab Innovator of the Year in 2016: http://cherryopticalinc.com/cherry-optical-inc-olp-lab-innovator-of-the-year-2016/ We’ve worked hard to stay at the front of a changing technological landscape. From being one of the first to produce and distribute superior Trivex & Tribrid lens material to now being 100% digital, 100% milling and the only laboratory to offer a Truly Unlimited Warranty Policy; we have clearly staked our claim as a market leader.
There may be larger optical labs, but the technology and capability at Cherry ensure no one is better than us.
