It’s that time of year when children are heading back to school whether it’s in person or via distance learning. While it’s a good reminder to get their eyes checked and fit for new frames, children’s eyewear should be a year-round priority for both parents and eyecare professionals. 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 challenges in dispensing eyewear to the under 18 age group.

20/20’s Children’s Eyewear MarketPulse Survey 2020 was conducted online in April 2020 by Jobson Optical Research’s in-house staff. The 2020 sample of 350 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.
