$700 Million Dollars

Think About Your Eyes generated 3.4 million eye exams in 2017, data shows. The success was measured using a statistical analysis of all factors contributing to the creation of eye exams, including population growth, marketing efforts, vision care insurance coverage, and health of the economy. The increase in exams and shortening of the exam cycle resulted in $752 million in additional industry revenue. This represents exam fees and add-on purchases, like frames, contact lenses and other accessories. thinkaboutyoureyes.com
