Why LKO
What Laramy-K Customers Have To Say


"From slab-offs to highly prismed single vision lenses, the quality, consistency, and timeliness are always spot on. Laramy-K is not the average optical laboratory. Together we are able to provide atypical, specialized vision services to our customers." - Michael Fulling, Owner, Northern Illinois Optical; Rockford, IL


"Friendships are built on integrity! Janet, JB and staff have become our friends over the years. We trust them, they trust us, and they treat us fairly. For us, that's an unbeatable match!" - Richard Homeier, ABOM; Optical Perspectives, Estes Park, CO


"My family has been in the retail optical business for 106 years and has done business with many wholesale optical labs. Laramy-K Optical has proven to us over the past 10 years they offer the highest quality uncut lenses, quick turnaround time, and competitive pricing. They behave like true partners in our business and realize that our success is their success. Their policies are extremely fair. We never seriously consider using any other lab for our primary lab." - Thomas Harris, Owner: Harris Opticians


"In an impersonal world, I highly value business partners whose relationships can transcend business to become friends. Janet Benjamin and the team at Laramy-K, have become both co-workers and friends. We can call and discuss our optical challenges and share our vacation experiences at the same time. That's family!" - Richard Homeier, Owner, Optical Perspectives; Estes Park, Colorado


"There's a saying that says, 'a company is only as good as the lab that is behind it.' You run an excellent lab!!

It is so nice to know that if I don't have the answer, I can count on you & your staff. Whether it's how to buff up the edge of a polished lens or what base curve a lens comes in, etc, it's nice to be able to call on you. I don't know who puts the sweets in our Friday delivery but at 4pm on Monday they sure taste great!! Thank you, Janet, for all of your help & support. You have a great staff.... especially Doreen!" - Michelle, Bundy Opticians; San Mateo, California
