NEW YORK—Vision Monday will be publishing its signature Annual Top 50 U.S. Optical Retailers Report in its upcoming June print/digital edition. A link to the survey is posted here. The current deadline to submit to be considered for inclusion in the Special Report ihas been extended through Tuesday, May 31. The optical industry's leading news platform's annual survey collates and presents sales and operations data for regional and national retailers for the calendar year ending Dec. 31, 2021.

"The 2022 VM Top 50 U.S. Optical Retailers report will highlight estimated sales in calendar year 2021, when much of the optical business was still emerging from the initial 2020 pandemic closures and a return to more consistent in-person business," said Marge Axelrad, SVP/editorial director of VM. "Of course, the impact of the pandemic continues to echo throughout the country. Our goal, as always, is for the exclusive VM Top 50 report to help people get a perspective about how those businesses fared 2021 in light of the total U.S. industry's sales—and to help people put that information into context as they plan for this year and the years ahead."

Added Mark Tosh, VM's senior editor, "Once again, Vision Monday is looking forward to compiling the information and data from across the optical industry to put together this much-anticipated annual report. It’s critically important that we collect this information directly from as many optical retailers as possible in order to provide the most comprehensive and accurate report on the current state of optical retail.”

The 2022 survey has been updated and streamlined to focus on key business metrics and areas of operations that provide an all-inclusive view of 2021 for optical.

Past Top 50 Retailer companies and other retail and professional practice groups around the U.S. are invited to take part in the survey. Submissions can be made here.
