Looking ahead,
we create value in view of the future
We are a European leader in optical retail, on a mission to make high-quality eye and hearing care affordable and easily accessible for everyone through our brands eyes + more, Hans Anders, and Direkt Optik. We are determined to shape the future of optical retail by expanding our store network with purpose and vision.
A future of good eyesight for all
Good eyesight and hearing are essential for human development and well-being. When people see better, they are more likely to be seen – and have greater opportunities to develop and thrive in society. Yet access to good vision and hearing care is still not a given for everyone.
The optical market is consolidating, while demand for eye and hearing care continues to rise, driven by trends such as an aging population. We respond by strengthening synergy, digitalization and shared resources, while expanding the number of stores and customers we serve.
