  • Senate Bill 216 Jason Singh, OD Pearle Vision, Luxottica Retail North America Proponent Testimony April 27, 2016
    Senate Bill 216 Jason Singh, OD Pearle Vision, Luxottica Retail North America Proponent Testimony April 27, 2016 Chairman Peterson, Vice Chairman Beagle, Ranking Member Tavares and members of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, thank you for the opportunity to provide testimony in support of Senate Bill 216. My name is Dr. Jason Singh and I am the Vice President of Vision Care for Pearle Vision. Pearle Vision is a part of Luxottica Retail North America. We operate 118 retail optical stores here in Ohio under the LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Sears Optical and Target Optical brands. We employ 3200 Ohioans, including 400 Ohio licensed dispensing and apprentice opticians. Luxottica’s North American retail offices in Mason, Ohio coordinate over 4,500 stores across the United States. In addition, we operate OneSight, a public charity founded in Cincinnati. OneSight’s vision is to eradicate the global vision care crisis for the 1.1 Billion people around the world who need vision correction and lack the access to it. We accomplish this by mobilizing eye care professionals, industry experts, and volunteers in the U.S. and around the world. In 27 years, we have given the gift of sight to over 9 million people. On behalf of Pearle Vision, Luxottica Retail North America and the patients we serve, I urge your support of Senate Bill 216. SB 216 is an important bill that will make immediate impact for Ohio residents. Statistics show 2/3 Ohio residents require vision correction. Economic barriers, like the sales tax, make it less likely for patients to obtain the care and medical products they need to realize their full potential.

  • Luxottica Admitted to the Cooperative Compliance Scheme with the Italian Revenue Agency
    Luxottica admitted to the Cooperative Compliance scheme with the Italian Revenue Agency Milan, 29 December 2020 – Luxottica was admitted by the Italian Revenue Agency to the Cooperative Compliance scheme under legislative decree no. 128/2015. The aim of the Cooperative Compliance scheme, in accordance with current legislation to prevent tax risk and permit a further increase in the level of certainty regarding important fiscal matters, is to strengthen the relationship of trust and transparency between Luxottica and the Italian Revenue Agency. The admission to the scheme was preceded by an assessment performed by the Revenue Agency examining the full adequacy of Tax Governance and the Tax Control Framework adopted by Luxottica for the detection, measurement, management, and control of potential tax risk. Adherence to this regime is part of a wider Luxottica strategy aimed at the preventative management of risk based on transparency with financial administrations at a global level for the benefit of all stakeholders. Contacts: Oriana Pagano Group Corporate Media Relations Manager Email: [email protected] Luxottica Group S.p.A. About Luxottica Group Luxottica is a leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of fashion, luxury and sports eyewear. Its portfolio includes proprietary brands such as Ray-Ban, Oakley, Costa, Vogue Eyewear, Persol, Oliver Peoples and Alain Mikli, as well as licensed brands including Giorgio Armani, Burberry, Bulgari, Chanel, Coach, Dolce&Gabbana, Ferrari, Michael Kors, Prada, Ralph Lauren, Tiffany & Co., Valentino and Versace.

  • Teamcare Eyemed - Vision Care Why It Will Cost You More with the Trustee Chosen Teamster Provider
    Teamcare EyeMed - Vision Care why it will cost you more with the trustee chosen Teamster Provider Teamsters Mandatory $15.63 a month Vision Plan is no benefit. 1. Luxottica and EyeMed Monopoly from Italy brought to you by Teamcare “A consumer-level frame costs significantly less than $10 to manufacture. The rest is operations, licensing and profit. Think about that the next time you pick up an average $150 frame. These aren’t markedly different or superior to the $30 glasses available from reputable online dealers — and those include lenses, probably the same ones you were just about to pay $200 for in the store.” A key to the industry-standard overpricing is the fact that a single corporation — Luxottica, the world’s largest eyewear firm — owns many retail eyewear chains and many popular eyewear brands. Based in Milan, Italy, Luxottica owns and operates LensCrafters, Sears Optical, Target Optical, Pearle Vision, Sunglass Hut, Ilori, and other chains in the United States, along with yet more chains throughout Asia, Europe, Africa, India, the Antipodes and the Middle East. Luxottica owns Ray-Ban, Oakley, Oliver Peoples, Vogue, and other brands, and makes glasses under license for over a dozen designer labels including Versace, Prada, Bulgari, DKNY, Burberry, Ralph Lauren, Dolce & Gabbana, Donna Karan, Tiffany, and more. As if that isn’t enough, Luxottica is also the parent company of a vision-care benefits program, EyeMed. Eyewear prices in brick-and-mortar stores stay artificially high, Mitchell says, due to “the lack of real competition, inasmuch as Luxottica owns massive manufacturing, licensing, retailing and insurance interests” — albeit EyeMed is “not so much insurance as a marketing ploy to get people to buy from their stores at a discount and to force the remaining independent stores to buy Luxottica controlled frames.
