National Vision expanded the distribution of Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta smart-glasses to all America’s Best and Eyeglass World stores and online. — Scaling a limited pilot to a chainwide offering provides a material opportunity to increase average ticket prices and revenue through high-tech premium products.
