METHODOLOGY
20/20’s Children’s Eyewear MarketPulse Survey 2019 was conducted online in April/May 2019 by Jobson Optical Research’s in-house staff. The 2019 sample of 355 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.
