Independent Eyewear, which is eyewear bred from an optical heritage, is a segment of the market you should be embracing. These brands are sold by 85 percent of independent retailers and make up almost half of their sales. Independent Eyewear brands originate exclusively in optical with no ties to designer or lifestyle brands in other industries. Conducted by Jobson Research, this study surveyed 331 independent eyecare professionals who dispense Independent Eyewear on their offerings, sales and opinions. Enlighten your customers about these brands and enlighten yourself with some noteworthy data on this category.
