Ross Optical lenses and components

Ross Optical is a prominent provider of optical solutions, specializing in custom lens design, coating services, and the distribution of standard optical components. Founded in the late 1980s by industry veteran Edward Ross, the company established itself as a key supplier for the medical, defense, and industrial sectors by bridging the gap between high-volume manufacturing and precision engineering needs.

Over the years, Ross Optical expanded its capabilities by forming strategic partnerships with international manufacturers, particularly in Asia, while maintaining a strong technical and quality control base in the United States. This hybrid model allows the company to offer cost-competitive manufacturing without sacrificing the strict quality standards required for precision optics.

In 2019, Ross Optical was acquired by Diversified Optical Group, a move that integrated its catalog and custom lens business with advanced thermal imaging and diamond-turning capabilities. Today, the brand operates as a subsidiary under the Diversified Optical Group umbrella, maintaining its headquarters in Texas and continuing to serve as a major player in the global optics supply chain.
