I'm aware the vast majority of glasses and sunglass frames worldwide are made by one factory anchored in Italy, I wasn't aware that lenses are too. Do you have more info on that? Wondering who is making them and where they are being primarily made.
Luxottica is the big player in eyeglasses and probably the one you are thinking of. LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Sunglass Hut, Oakley are just a few of their brands
