Luxottica Brands & Info


Luxottica is the Monopoly behind over 30% of the glasses market. They own everything from brands, optics and even eye insurance companies.

Business is business and honestly they are doing great. However they are intransparent and use this to artificially increase prices & demand in the whole prescription glasses & sunglasses market. By owning retail stores all over the world and even owning eye insurance companies they are able to place themself and their huge product sortiment as defacto standard. Fooling customers into buying expensive low to mid quality glasses.
