Why is Optical Prescription Lab on my receipt?
Hunters HD Gold, Hunters HD Ruby and AktiveBlu are all lenses of Optical Prescription Lab (OPL). OPL was started in 1977 by Brian’s mother in law where he stated working as the Marketing Director and created a personal lens in 2015 that we now know today as Hunters HD Gold.
