Environmental sustainability continues to be an increasing priority for consumers and manufacturers alike. While the concept is still relatively new in the optical market, we’re seeing a promising outlook with a growing number of companies implementing sustainable materials for frames and lenses, and bringing more sustainable practices to the eyewear industry. With this expanding availability of sustainably manufactured frames that offer the premium design, quality and comfort of traditional frames, consumers now have a multitude of options in doing their part to join the commitment to social responsibility. We checked in with eyecare professionals on their sustainability outlook with 20/20’s Environmental Sustainability Survey 2022 conducted by Jobson Optical Research.
