Sunland Optical was started in the late 1950’s by Dr. S.L. Abbott, when he began providing Optical Services to Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. Sunland has been servicing AAFES contracts for over 50 years. Presently, Sunland has 37 retail stores and 10 professional offices under contract with AAFES. The Abbott Family continues to own the company.

In addition, Sunland has a full service optical laboratory on-site at the Corporate Home Office in El Paso, Texas which does in excess of 150 jobs per day, giving us the ability to insure our military personnel are serviced adequately and quickly to meet their needs. Sunland also has an on-site full service Anti-Reflection Coating Facility that does in excess of 100 jobs per day, once again reducing the service time required for this process.

Sunland also does Wholesale work for the city of El Paso and the surrounding area.
