The partnership, which will introduce affordable bundles including Pair’s customizable, stylish, and accessible eyewear and a comprehensive eye exam, launched in 110 America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses stores nationwide this month, making Pair Eyewear's fashionable eyewear even more accessible to customers across the country.

“We are thrilled to partner with National Vision. This collaboration allows us to expand our reach and provide customers with a sensorial shopping experience that combines style, affordability, and expert guidance,” said Pair Eyewear Co-CEO and Co-Founder Nathan Kondamuri. “Through this partnership, we aim to establish Pair as a household name. We’re eager to bring our fun, fresh frame style to consumers across the country.”

“Pair’s vision for a cutting-edge style- and personality-driven future of eyewear is inspiring,” said Megan Molony, Chief Merchandising and Managed Care Officer of National Vision. “We look forward to combining our strengths to offer customers an unmatched selection of affordable eyewear while delivering exceptional service."

Pair Eyewear shares National Vision’s commitment to affordability with prescription glasses priced at just $60. Pair customers can also change their eyewear designs as often as they change their personal styles, with customizable Top Frames starting at $25 each and new collections launching frequently. Affordable customization encourages customers to buy multiple frames per year, in contrast with the legacy model of a single glasses purchase every three years, leading to superior unit economics and gross margins.

In October, Pair Eyewear announced a move to keep investing in research and development on the heels of its fully integrated U.S. manufacturing facility. Since inception, the brand has developed a family of patents around customizable technology, further pushing innovation in the traditional optical industry.
