DALLAS, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Newton (formerly Neurolens), an innovation company transforming eye care through exceptional patient experiences and outcomes, announced today that it has selected ABB Labs as a strategic lab partner, one of the nation's largest independent optical laboratory networks. This collaboration dramatically expands access to Newton's innovative lens portfolio, including Neurolens and Sequel, by leveraging ABB Labs' US-based footprint and established relationships with independent optometry.

Through this strategic vendor partnership, thousands of additional independent eye care practices gain seamless access to Newton's groundbreaking technologies: Neurolens with patented Contoured Prism™ technology for relief from headaches, neck pain and motion sickness and Sequel every day lens with proprietary Convergence Boost™ technology for unparalleled visual comfort and clarity both on screen and off. This collaboration comes at a pivotal time as Sequel lenses recently became available through VSP coverage, making premium Convergence Boost™ technology accessible to millions of patients.

ABB Labs' extensive independent laboratory network and operational excellence will enable more practices to offer patients relief from eye misalignment and digital eye strain symptoms.

"This partnership represents a transformative moment in our ability to serve independent optometry," said Davis Corley, CEO of Newton. "ABB Labs doesn't just expand our manufacturing capacity, it multiplies our reach across the United States. ABB's scale and reputation will strengthen our existing Newton lab network to continue to provide product availability, quality and service to our growing Newton customer base."

ABB Labs have the industry's best service and quality of any national lab network, according to the results from a recent independent study*. ABB Labs customers had a satisfaction rating of 92% with over 98% of lab orders meeting customer quality expectations.
