Rose-colored glasses: Eyewear retailers benefit from the aging population and healthcare reform

Eye Glasses & Contact Lens Stores in the US

Rose-colored glasses

Despite growing competition and a more frugal consumer base, eyewear retailers can look forward to five more years of growth. The aging US population will continue to drive demand for prescription eyewear, especially as consumers remain in the workforce longer. Another benefit to eyewear retailers will be the healthcare reform bill, which will give more people access to vision care, boosting demand. To ward off competition from online and discount retailers, operators will increasingly offer eye exams given by in-house optometrists.
