Digital lens processing
Freeform surfacing for progressive, single vision and specialty designs, calculated point by point.

Lenses from every major maker
Progressive, single vision, bifocal and occupational lenses, plus our Artisan house line.

Coatings
Anti-reflective, hard coat, blue light and the ClearKraft line, applied in our own coating room.

Edging and finishing
Full-rim, semi-rimless, drill-mount, sport wrap and safety, mounted and checked before it ships.

Made and checked in one place
We run our own surfacing, coating and inspection, so the people who make a lens are down the hall from the people who check it.
- Coated in-house
- Coatings go on in our own lab, so a coated job doesn't leave the building.
- ClearKraft AR
- Our own anti-reflective line: smudge- and scratch-resistant.

Seventy-five years in St. Cloud
Founded in St. Cloud, Minnesota, EyeKraft has made lenses for independent eye care professionals for more than seven decades. We're still here, still independent, and still known for picking up the phone.
We pair that history with current digital surfacing and coating equipment, and we're one of the few independent labs with a complete frames catalog through Global Optique: one partner for lenses, coatings and frames.
