EssilorLuxottica

EssilorLuxottica’s Q3 revenue surged, boosted by the success of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses developed in partnership with Meta. Wearables contributed significantly to the 11.7% sales increase. The collaboration expands with Oakley and Prada-branded versions in development. Executives predict glasses will replace many smartphone functionalities. Meta’s AI-powered glasses and those from competitors like Alphabet and Alibaba are transforming personal computing and eyewear, creating a market where fashion meets technology. EssilorLuxottica anticipates exceeding its wearables targets and foresees revenue from hardware, lenses, and AI services.
