About Frecker Optical

Larry Frecker opened Frecker Optical the year 1971 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He began his career however, as a teenager getting his first job in an optical lab during high school in 1947. Drafted in the Korean War, he found himself working a one-man lab in Japan, edging lenses for all branches of the armed forces. After the war, Larry returned home working various retail labs in Fort Wayne for another sixteen years.

By 1971, Larry was ready to open his own wholesale lab. His three sons, Terry, Al and Brian began working as teenagers alongside their father, edging, surfacing and finishing lenses for local doctors offices as well as offices across the United States. Their combined years of experience stretch over 175 years.

What sets Frecker Optical apart is their personal service and attention to detail as well as the needs of every office and eye care professional. The Freckers pride themselves in combining old school experience with the latest technology while offering fast, reliable service. With their competitive pricing and large inventory of lens brands, materials, styles, and coatings, Frecker Optical is the ideal lab for all your patients' needs.
