Read on to gain a better understanding of the trends, challenges and nuances in dispensing eyewear to children from infants/toddlers to kids, tweens and teens.

METHODOLOGY
20/20’s Children’s Eyewear MarketPulse Survey 2018 was conducted in May 2018 by Jobson Optical Research’s in-house research staff. The 2018 sample of 392 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.
