Profit strategies and products for the eye care professional

Corporate History

In April of 2007, ABB Optical and CON-CISE  Contact Lens Company joined forces and became the largest authorized soft contact lens distributor and Gas Permeable (GP) lens manufacturer in the nation, known  today as ABB CONCISE Optical Group LLC. 

Prior to what would become the largest merger in optical history, ABB Optical - founded in 1989 by CEO, Angel Alvarez - grew impressively over the years, establishing a loyal client base through a series of mergers and acquisitions and by enhancing the bottom line of practitioners through leveraging technology in the order/ship process.

Newly found partner, CON-CISE Contact Lens Company, an authorized soft contact lens distributor and gas permeable contact lens manufacturer founded in 1959 – also expanded successfully over the years as a result of savvy decision-making, high-grade materials and superior product design. Under the leadership of Carl Moore and Lynda Baker, CON-CISE Contact Lens Company became the top Gas Permeable Lens manufacturer and authorized soft contact lens distributor on the West Coast.

Today
