Recently, two of the biggest players in the eyewear industry, Luxottica and Essilor, announced a merger. Luxottica is the largest frame maker in the world and Essilor is globally the largest lens maker. To make things even more interesting, Luxottica also owns Eyemed, an optical insurance company and Essilor owns many of the insurance labs in the US. This means that one company will now control the vast majority of the eyewear market through the ownership of the insurance, frame, and lens aspects of the business.
What this means for you, the customer, is it’s now more important than ever to support independent frame makers!
