About the Company

National Vision

Operates affordable eyeglasses and vision centers

National Vision creates a nationwide network of affordable eye care centers, selling eyeglasses and providing eye exams through vision centers located inside larger retail stores. Its core product is affordable eyewear and eye-care services offered at pass-through cost with a focus on value. The business works by operating and expanding vision centers, often through acquiring established brands such as America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses (2005) and Eyeglass World (2009), and by growing its footprint with private equity support and a public listing (IPO in 2017). This scale and emphasis on low-cost, accessible eyewear differentiate it from other providers that may operate more fragmented or premium-focused networks. The company aims to broaden access to affordable vision care for more people by expanding its national reach and brand portfolio.
