Our Story
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.
