Choosing a cool new outfit is a big part of back-to-school excitement for children, and that includes accessories such as eyewear. While back to school is a great time for children to pick out new frames and get their eye exams, parents and eyecare professionals should consider it a year-round priority. To provide a comprehensive look at the children’s eyewear market from the perspective of independent ECPs, 20/20 presents our annual Children’s Eyewear MarketPulse Survey conducted by Jobson Optical Research. Take a look at the following data to gain a better understanding of the trends and opportunities in dispensing eyewear to the under 18 age group.

METHODOLOGY
20/20's Children’s Eyewear MarketPulse Survey 2022 was conducted online in March 2022 by Jobson Optical Research’s in-house staff. The 2022 sample of 241 qualified independent optical retailers who sell to children as well as other age groups was derived from the proprietary Jobson Optical Research database. Only the responses of dispensers who sell eyewear to children were included in the report. Respondents were offered the chance to enter a drawing to win a $200 amazon.com gift card as an incentive.
