Etnia Barcelona reaffirms its bold, rebellious nature with the new Mambo Collection- a tribute to the values of the brand: form and colour in their purest state. These oversized sunglasses are made of natural acetate and feature a “form within a form” effect enhanced by the superpositioning of contrasting colours.

EssilorLuxottica announced that consolidated revenue including GrandVision (consolidated since July 1, i.e. for the third quarter only) totalled Euro 14,241 million in the first nine months of the year. On a comparable basis, consolidated revenue amounted to Euro 5,465 million in the third quarter and Euro 15,918 million in the nine months, +9.3% and +6.2% respectively at constant exchange rates versus the same periods of 2019.
Francesco Milleri and Paul du Saillant, CEO and Deputy CEO of EssilorLuxottica, said: “We are proud of the revenue performance our Company delivered in the third quarter of the year, keeping the pace of the fast recovery already posted in the second quarter. Including GrandVision, in its first quarter of consolidation into the Group, EssilorLuxottica’s comparable revenue grew even faster, at 9.3% versus pre-COVID levels at constant exchange rates.
Moreover, while accelerating in revenue, our Company has materially expanded its margins, proving to which extent it can operationally leverage the business growth. This has led us to upgrade once again our outlook for the full year, now pointing to a more material operating margin lift. Such a sound performance is driven by the Company’s omnichannel and open business model, its new integrated commercial initiatives and its rich innovation pipeline, all at the heart of its long-term strategy.
In the context of the World Sight Day, celebrated on October 14, we’re also pleased to highlight all the initiatives the Company put in place in many different geographies to give vision a voice, while its ‘Eyes on the Planet’ sustainability program continues to progress nicely, based on the five pillars of carbon, circularity, world sight, inclusion and ethics.”

CooperVision Specialty EyeCare announced the launch of Optimized Pupil Optics (OPO) for its Onefit™ MED and Onefit™ MED+ scleral contact lenses to eye care providers (ECPs) in the United States and Canada. The new high precision design option—which is supported by a user-friendly online fitting tool—enables ECPs to reposition the multifocal optics to align with the visual axis.
OPO lenses incorporate several markings, including a six o’clock dot indication to help patients orient the lens correctly on their eye, a circle of eight small dots at 6 mm to indicate the new center of the optics for pupil centration, plus toric hash marks notating the flat meridian as seen in other Onefit™ MED toric haptic designs.
“The shape of a patient’s sclera—paired with the tension of their eyelids—can often cause scleral lenses to decenter down and out. This moves the optics out of ideal alignment and impacts their quality of vision, including creating higher order aberrations for multifocal wearers,” said Justine Siergey, OD, FSLS, Manager of Professional Affairs – Irregular Cornea at CooperVision Specialty EyeCare. “With the new Optimized Pupil Optics’ design option, practitioners are able to dramatically improve the patient’s visual outcomes and their satisfaction.”
“Part of our role as an industry partner is to continually improve and build upon our broad portfolio of innovative scleral lens designs,” said Marie-Christine Blanchard, Global Lead, Irregular Cornea, CooperVision Specialty EyeCare. “Our commitment to supporting the increasing number of ECPs who fit specialty lenses starts by providing innovative technologies that address their patients’ evolving needs, and ultimately, grow their practice.”
