The directory in this report includes a comprehensive listing of the top optical retailers in the U.S. Each listing includes contact information for the company’s headquarters, key executives, buyer names for all product categories and trade names/DBAs. Approximately 80 headquarter locations are listed.

Additionally, this report provides 2016 estimated sales and business unit counts for each of the top 50 retailers. Vision Monday’s recent May 15 special report on the Top 50 U.S. Optical Retailers is featured, as well as the top 10 U.S. retailers with the latest information on their company structure and challenges for the upcoming year is also included.
