About Us
Pinnacle
Optical opened as a finishing lab in Trussville, Alabama in
December of 2002. By early 2003, production levels were around
115 Rx's per day. The process included finishing automation and electronic transfer of Rx work in and out of the laboratory via Visionweb that helped acheive excellent quality and turnaround with four full time staff members.
In
January of 2004, Pinnacle relocated after acquiring the assets
of NAVA Labs in Birmingham, Alabama. With the acquisition, Pinnacle
has taken the automation of the lab to a new level by investing
in Loh
surfacing and finishing equipment with robotics and conveyors
to automate and streamline the production process. A proven
methodology and a philosophy of commitment to quality with scheduled
monitoring of process to maintain consistency, Pinnacle has
continued to achieve excellent results. We are certified in
the COLTS Laboratories FDA accepted program to insure
your patients receive not only the highest quality, but also
meet FDA compliancy for impact resistance. We also have certification
for Z87.1
2003: Basic and High Impact requirements for your safety
prescriptions.
Also
with the NAVA acquisition, Pinnacle Optical came the exclusive
laboratory for the VisionChoice
vision care plan. With the added Rx's from the plan, along with
additional private pay and managed care accounts (we are also
a provider for Vision
Care Plan and Vision
Benefits of America) units began averaging over 150 per
day during the first quarter of 2004 and grew to the present
unit number of 200+ Rx's per day.
Pinnacle
is proud to be involved in our community as the manufacturing
arm of the Rural Alabama Spectacle Project
which provides low-cost eyeglasses for people in need.
