I don’t get the point of this article. Essilor Luxxotica is a monopoly and they pretty much control the eye glass frames market. This is rather old news.
[..] Essilor is a French optical company that’s been around since the 1800s but has spent the past 20 years acquiring some 250 companies. In 2017, Essilor bought Luxottica for about $24 billion. Although it got approval by regulators in the US and the EU, and even passed an antitrust investigation by the Federal Trade Commission, business experts have called the merged EssilorLuxottica a monopoly.[..]
Also: how does one be ‘in charge’ of their own exams. Walking around and operating with impaired vision is a danger to public safety. Is this a joke article?
