Designing high-performance lenses can be inherently complex. Since 2009, Eckhardt Optics simplifies lens design with advanced software and expert guidance, so you can achieve quality optics faster and easier.
We find the optics industry to be rewarding and fulfilling work. Yet it is full of unique challenges when it comes to design and manufacturing, balancing time, cost, and complexity. With a doctorate in optical engineering from the University of Arizona and many years in the field, Dr. Steve Eckhardt founded Eckhardt Optics LLC in 2009 and would later transition full-time in 2012. This background informed Steve’s outlook on the potential consequences and inefficiencies in the world of optics.
After identifying a need for custom lenses in the optics industry, Steve began engineering high precision solutions. From decades of experience, the company has grown to meet the demands of virtual and augmented reality systems, utilizing the benefits of conoscopic lenses for display testing. The AR/VR industry, as well as others, has enabled us to help innovate and provide insight into several growing markets and applications.
Today, Eckhardt Optics is the world’s second largest designer and manufacturer of conoscopic lenses and a major contributor to test and measurement industry lenses. We’ve had the privilege to help our customers with demanding requirements, from putting lenses in the stratosphere, or inside internal combustion engines, to testing thousands of near-eye displays. Our dedication to embracing tough challenges in AR/VR systems and remote sensing, among others, showcases our commitment to solving the toughest problems for some of the largest companies in the world.
What sets us apart is our ability to provide excellent optical engineering, with software, testing, and assembly, often developed all in-house. Along with our network of suppliers, these elements enable us to maintain reasonable costs and improve efficiency while maintaining high precision – solving problems that otherwise keep emerging technologies or new projects from moving forward.
Customers have come to Eckhardt Optics for various products and alternatives to off-the-shelf lenses. Combining custom lenses with systems that bring competitive value to their markets. Whether the application is in a lab, high above the earth, or observing tomorrows next big idea.
Clarity is a quality of a good lens, but also as a promise to our customers. With over 50 combined years of experience and industry knowledge, Eckhardt Optics leads the way in engineering quality optical solutions now and in the future. Let us help you see your project clearly and turn your vision into reality.
