Vision as well.

Luxottica manufactures and wholesales 25% of all sunglasses and prescription frames in the world (Oakley, Ray Ban, Chanel, Coach, etc). They own the second largest vision insurance company. 20% of US and 10% of worldwide retail sales are in one of their 9,100 stores: LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Target Optical, Sunglass Hut, Glasses.com, etc. If you decide to go to a local independent optometrist, they also own the two largest equipment manufactures.

I dread the day they buy Zenni and take my $25 glasses away.
