Executive Directory of Optical Goods Retailers allows you to target individuals that own and operate an optical goods stores. An optical good is any piece of equipment or any accessory relating to the human eye. These establishments are primarily engaged in retailing and fitting prescription eyeglasses, contact lenses, safety eyewear and optical accessories; retailing prescription eyeglasses in combination with the grinding of lenses to order on the premises; and selling nonprescription eyeglasses.
Optical Goods Stores industry has been increasingly crowded, as opticians, optometrists, and ophthalmologists compete for the same market. Retailers advertise fast turnarounds, low prices, and convenient hours and locations. They promote eyeglasses and contacts as fashion wear and convince the public of the need for more than one pair — in part by offering special deals when two were purchased. Retailers introduce lighter and thinner lenses and more attractive frames, which stimulate sales. They offer contact lenses in a variety of colors, and many consumers buy several pairs because they like the idea of changing their eye color. The emergence of less-expensive daily "disposable" contacts has opened further marketing opportunities. Optical Goods Stores help customers fix problems they may have with their eyewear. Frames can be adjusted, hinges can be tightened, and lenses can be replaced due to scratches. They help customer’s fulfill different prescriptions such as; bifocals, scratch resistant, polarized frames, reading glasses, polarized sunglasses, rimless drill mount glasses, and frames for children. They ensure the fit of the eyewear is right and their vision is not impaired.
