#EssilorLuxottica
🟣 The owner of both Ray-Ban and Oakley — brands that collaborate with Meta on this — is a company called EssilorLuxottica; a company with enormous market dominance so is therefore difficult to challenge.

We need to update our antitrust laws because they keep failing:

Meta s'envole vers l'objectif des 10 millions de lunettes connectées vendues.

Meta et EssilorLuxottica pourraient bien réussir leur pari, qui paraissait un peu fou à l’époque : vendre 10 millions de paires de lunettes connectées par an. En 2025, le lunetier franco-italien en a écoulé 7 millions !

为什么眼镜跟 iPad 一样贵?利润堪比贩毒,因为公司垄断与保险合谋

眼镜行业是资本主义最成功的营销案例之一:把低成本的工业塑料品,包装成了高科技医疗器械,最后卖出了奢侈品的价格。 在美国配眼镜是一次精准收割的过程。 你先是付了 Copay 去验光,拿着处方走到旁边的展示区。销售员热情地给你推荐 Ray-Ban, Oakley, 或者是 Prada, Chanel 的镜架。你一看标价 $350,心头一紧,但想到保险能报一部分,还是咬牙买了。 恭喜你,你刚刚完成了对 EssilorLuxottica 帝国的进贡。 这家你可能没听过的公司,是眼镜界的“灭霸”。它不仅拥有 Ray-Ban,…
为什么眼镜跟 iPad 一样贵?利润堪比贩毒,因为公司垄断与保险合谋
眼镜行业是资本主义最成功的营销案例之一:把低成本的工业塑料品,包装成了高科技医疗器械,最后卖出了奢侈品的价格。 在美国配眼镜是一次精准收割的过程。 你先是付了 Copay 去验光,拿着处方走到旁边的展示区。销售员热情地给你推荐 Ray-Ban, Oakley, 或者是 Prada, Chanel 的镜架。你一看标价 $350,心头一紧,但想到保险能报一部分,还是咬牙买了。 恭喜你,你刚刚完成了对 EssilorLuxottica 帝国的进贡。 这家你可能没听过的公司,是眼镜界的“灭霸”。它不仅拥有 Ray-Ban, Oakley, Oliver Peoples 这些品牌,还拥有几乎所有奢侈品牌(Chanel, Burberry, Ralph Lauren 等)的眼镜授权。 更可怕的是,它还拥有渠道:LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, Target Optical, Pearl Vision 都是它的。 最杀人诛心的是,它还拥有全美第二大视力保险公司 EyeMed 。 这就是全产业链垄断:它左手发保险让你去买眼镜,右手开店卖眼镜给你,中间还顺便把镜架和镜片都造了。 1. 视力保险不过是“代金券”陷阱 我们中很多人在 open enrollment 时会毫不犹豫地勾选 Vision Insurance,觉得每个月几块钱很划算。 但你仔细算算这笔账: 你每年交的保费(Premium)加上 Copay,差不多就是一两百刀。 保险公司给你一个 $150 的镜架补贴。 然后引导你去他们自家的店(LensCrafters),那里最普通的镜架起步价就是 $200 。 这根本不是保险,而是一个预付费的打折卡。它存在的唯一目的,就是锁定你的消费,让你觉得“不用就亏了”,从而去买那些溢价 20 倍的眼镜。

Ray-Bans are owned by a massive multinational conglomerate EssilorLuxottica. The Luxotitca subsidiary paid $640M for the company back in 1999.

If I were them, I’d be worried about reputational damage from this.
Meta is putting a "Name Tag" feature in Ray-Bans - facial recognition through the glasses' camera. You look at someone, AI tells you who they are.
In an internal document, the company wrote that the timing is good because civil society groups are busy with politics and won't cause problems.

Avec ICE et les caméras de pas de porte Ring le fait que Meta pense encore à lancer son système de reconnaissance faciale "Name Tag" dans ses smartglasses fait un peu polémique. Mais il y pense depuis 2021 et l'européen EssilorLuxottica a peut-être son mot à dire ?

Meta plans to add facial recognition to its smart glasses, report claims | TechCrunch
The feature, internally known as “Name Tag,” would allow smart glasses wearers to identify people and get information about them via Meta's AI assistant.

Meta punta sul riconoscimento facciale Ray-Ban: cosa cambia per gli occhiali smart
Meta starebbe lavorando a una nuova funzione di riconoscimento facciale Ray-Ban per i suoi occhiali smart sviluppati insieme a EssilorLuxottica. L’indiscrezione riguarda un progetto interno chiamato “Name Tag”, che integrerebbe l’identificazione dei volti direttamente attraverso le fotocamere degli occhiali. La notizia ha riacceso il dibattito sulla privacy e sull’uso dell’intelligenza artificiale nei dispositivi indossabili. Come funzionerebbe il riconoscimento facciale Ray-Ban…

Ray-Ban is owned by EssilorLuxottica which has a monopoly on glasses worldwide, unfortunately Ray-Ban will be fine
these stupid glasses are going to fuck up the ray-ban's brand for years to come. some of my students already think *all* ray-bans are facebook glasses, so good luck with sales. lotta people are gonna stop buying that brand, just because they don't want ppl thinking they're wearing spy glasses.
Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.

Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”
