AUSTIN—VisionWeb announced its honorees for 2010 Labs of the Year. The VisionWeb Lab of the Year program, now in its fifth year, rewards spectacle lens laboratories that have shown exemplary results growing and maintaining customer loyalty using VisionWeb.

This year’s honorees are Luzerne Optical, Wilkes Barre, Penn.; Meridian Optical Laboratory, Phoenix, Ariz; and US Optical, East Syracuse, N.Y.
