Founded by Richard Cameron in 1990, Carson Optical has grown into a leading global optics company with headquarters in Ronkonkoma, New York, USA. We are proud to be the number one manufacturer Of U.S. magnifiers and pocket microscopes, and a top supplier of binoculars. With over 100 patents, our high-quality optical products serve hunters, hikers, students, crafters, and builders alike.
Innovation and customer satisfaction are the backbone of Carson Optical. Our journey began in Long Island, NY, when Richard Cameron discovered a unique digital binocular from the now-defunct Copitar Japan. By cold-calling buyers and writers at major media publications, Carson quickly gained traction, landing placements in mail-order catalogs like The Sharper Image and Orvis, and gaining exposure in media outlets such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Popular Science.
Today, Carson's headquarters in Ronkonkoma, NY, features a cutting-edge research and development prototyping lab with a full workshop, including multiple CNC machines, 3D printing capabilities, and an optics metrology lab. Our passionate design team transforms novel concepts into finely tuned, market-ready products. To support our international growth, we have opened two distribution facilities overseas. Our products are available through retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Optics Planet. Carson continues to expand, with offices in the UK, Germany, and Hong Kong.
Since our inception, Carson Optical has remained dedicated to customer satisfaction. Our team of engineers works tirelessly to enhance the customer experience, producing durable and diverse optical products. We understand that a “one size fits all” approach doesn’t work for visual aids and optics. Whether you are a student, hunter, hiker, camper, or builder, we have the perfect product for you. We also recognize that the optical industry can be expensive, so we strive to offer the best microscopes, binoculars, and telescopes at affordable prices. Investing in your passion shouldn’t break the bank, no matter the industry.
Carson’s passion and dedication have made us the number one manufacturer of magnifiers in the USA, the number one manufacturer of pocket microscopes in the USA, and a leading supplier of binoculars. Our commitment to customer satisfaction and transparency in product specifications and capabilities sets us apart. Every product in Carson’s catalog undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets our high standards.
