Laboratories Association (COLA)

Serving California Eyecare Professionals for more than 50 Years

The COLA website is intended to serve as a communication link for keeping COLA members informed and up-to-date on industry issues. It also serves as an educational resource for COLA labs to keep their customers, the eyecare professions, informed on the fast-changing lens information they need in caring for the eyes of America.

Founded in 1957, the California Optical Laboratories Association is an organization of full-service optical laboratories from California and other Western states.

COLA provides the following services through its members:

	Annual Meeting with educational seminars on subjects directly affecting laboratories and lab customers.
	Projects that strengthen the relationship between laboratories and eyecare professionals.
	Annual Scholarships are awarded to deserving optometric students, glasses are fabricated by COLA members for the working poor and COLA has supplied optical products for Special Olympic contestants.
	Political Action on issues impacting the ophthalmic industry.

President's Message

Greetings and welcome to COLA!

Since its inception, COLA has been the voice of the wholesale optical labs in the Western United States. As the optical industry continues to change, COLA has kept up with the times. COLA membership is comprised of corporate-owned, independently-owned, family owned and operated laboratories. We share a fellowship and friendship which is genuine and difficult to duplicate.

Best regards,
