Which code does this activity belong in?
Ophthalmic Goods Manufacturing covers establishments that produce eyeglasses, contact lenses, frames, and protective eyewear as finished consumer products. The critical distinction is that this code covers manufacturing of complete ophthalmic goods, whereas Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing covers ophthalmic instruments and apparatus used in medical procedures. Additionally, when prescription eyeglasses are manufactured on-site in a retail setting, that retail operation is classified elsewhere, not in this manufacturing code.
