Tip-off is TOMORROW🏀
And if you haven’t joined our Joe Knows NCAA Bracket Tournament, this is your buzzer-beater moment!
Blizzard Elsa has turned Green Bay into a real-life Frozen movie ❄️
While the cold never bothered us, the two feet of snow and blowing drifts definitely do. So, we were closed on Monday, March 16th.
We are happy to say that our Lab is back open today. But, as we dig ourselves out, our customers may experience one- to two-day shipping delays.
We apologize for the inconvenience. Our team is working hard to clean up and catch up from the storm, so we thank you for your patience and understanding!

Even grown-ups get snow days sometimes ❄️
With a historic blizzard rolling through Green Bay, Wisconsin, we have decided to close our Lab today, Monday, March 16th, to keep our team safe.
Our top priority is taking care of our people, and today that means staying off the roads and out of the snowdrifts.
Our phones are still on, though, so if you need anything, give us a call.
Thanks for your patience as we ride out this storm!

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.
