Optical Lab Serving North Carolina Practices, Ordered Online

Mialab is a Miami-area wholesale optical lab in Florida, working with independent optometrists, opticians and optical shops since 1997, including customers in North Carolina. Practices in North Carolina can send us their Rx jobs online and get them back ready to dispense.

Same Time Zone, Simple Ordering

North Carolina and South Florida are both on Eastern Time, so when your front desk has a question, our team is working the same hours you are. An optical lab is only useful if ordering is easy and nobody has to chase a job. That is what we focus on.

How Ordering Works

  1. Open a wholesale account.
  2. Place jobs through online ordering.
  3. Need a job sooner? Ask our team about rush service, which is available.
  4. Call or email our team when you need a person. Our whole team supports customers in English and Spanish.
