Three Rivers Optical Doubles Capacity and Introduces New Products to Meet Growing Demand

August 29, Pittsburgh, PAThree Rivers Optical, a nationwide independent lab with the largest private brand portfolio and a leader in cutting-edge optical solutions, is excited to announce a significant expansion of its operations to accommodate the increasing demand for its innovative products and services. A new production line was installed last month, doubling job capacity.

Our ability to stay at the forefront of marketplace trends and new technologies makes us confident that the future of IDOC and Three Rivers Optical is very bright.”

ANNOUNCING NEW PRODUCT AVAILABILITY IN-HOUSE

Three Rivers Optical will now be offering in-house manufacturing of the full suite of Kodak products as well as Shamir’s Glacier Plus™ AR coating. The team at Three Rivers Optical is excited to bring these products in-house, alongside their private brand SEEMORE, for even better pricing and turnaround times for customers. Independent practices that frequently use these products will greatly benefit from these new offerings.

Kodak delivers lenses for everyone–all age groups, prescriptions, budgets, and more–and promises that every lens is the result of advanced lens technologies from a company with a long legacy of customer satisfaction. The Kodak Lens technology for producing customized lenses creates comfortable and clear vision for a wide range of patient needs and frame sizes.

The Glacier Plus™ coating from Shamir is a top-of-the-line AR coating that provides comprehensive protection from the various elements that glasses encounter every day, from dirt and dust to static and scratches, Glacier Plus™ coating keeps lenses clean and clear of distracting reflections.
