For Eyes Optical

For Eyes Optical is a national retailer offering comprehensive eye exams, prescription eyewear, contact lenses, and vision care products. The company began in 1972, when it was founded in Philadelphia with a focus on providing affordable vision care and a broad selection of frames. Over the decades, For Eyes built a reputation for accessible, in-store optometry services, becoming known for its customer-focused approach.

A significant milestone in the company’s history came in 2015, when For Eyes was acquired by GrandVision, a major international optical retailer. This partnership introduced new digital technologies and helped accelerate For Eyes’ growth in the U.S. market. In 2021, GrandVision itself was acquired by EssilorLuxottica, though For Eyes continues to operate under the GrandVision brand in the United States.

As of November 2025, For Eyes operates approximately 120 stores nationwide. The brand has a strong footprint in Florida, Illinois, California, and the Mid-Atlantic, and is actively expanding in high-traffic shopping centers and urban retail corridors, especially in Florida, Texas, California, Illinois, and throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Recent years have seen For Eyes modernize its stores with digital eye exam technology and refreshed layouts, reflecting a commitment to both convenience and contemporary retail experiences.

For Eyes is recognized for its stable operations and established reputation in the vision care sector. Its stores typically offer full-service optical care and on-site labs for quick service, making it a reliable presence in both established and emerging retail markets. The company’s ongoing expansion and willingness to consider a variety of retail formats, including both end-cap and inline spaces, demonstrate its adaptable growth posture and credibility as a tenant.
