About
VisionFirst opened its' doors in 1955 under the
name of Louisville Optical. At that time, the
company was a wholesale optical outlet for
Monfried Optical. Dr. Rod Rallo purchased
Louisville Optical in 1987 and expanded his
optometric practice. Dr. Rallo moved Louisville
Optical in 1991 to the 4000 Poplar Level Road
location.
Since 1987, through strategic partnerships,
VisionFirst has aligned itself with the finest eye
doctors in the region. VisionFirst now has 11
convenient locations throughout Kentuckiana to
serve thousands of patients who trust their eye
care needs to VisionFirst.
In 2003, Louisville Optical became VisionFirst to
better reflect the values and commitment of the
company to its' customers. In 2005 and 2009, the
Poplar Level Road location went through major
renovations and expansions to serve you better.
Since 2005, VisionFirst has remodeled, expanded or
moved many of our offices. This allows us to
offer the latest in diagnostic equipment,
including Optomap™ Digital Retinal Photography,
GDx® Nerve Fiber Analyzer for early glaucoma
detection and Tel-Screen. Our doctors are
committed to providing the latest in eye care
technology.
VisionFirst is also committed to offering the
latest in fashion eyewear for the entire family at
affordable prices. The offices renovations and
expansions allow us to offer hundreds of frames
that will fit your personal style and budget. For
