WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah—Premier Vision Lab, a full-service optical laboratory based in Salt Lake City, has announced its transition from a doctor-owned model to fully independent ownership. With this change, Premier Vision Lab is opening its doors to eyecare practices across the region, as reported in VMAIL. This acquisition was completed in December 2025 by Afshin Baghai and Ben Rollins. Baghai founded the lab in 2007 alongside a group of local optometrists and has served as lab director ever since. His tenure spans the full arc of the lab's growth and represents a level of institutional knowledge rare in the independent lab space, the announcement said. Rollins is the founder of Axon Optics with a background in optical technology and vision care, including work with technologies developed at the Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah.
