PROFILE |
 |
National Vision (formerly Vista Eyecare) set its sights on reaching the top of the retail optical market, but that vision got a little blurry. The company sells low-cost prescription glasses, contact lenses, sunglasses, and accessories through about 500 locations. It operates about 430 vision centers in Wal-Mart, 30 of which are in Mexico. The company also operates stores in about 60 Fred Meyers stores. Underperforming stores and costly debt caused National Vision to file Chapter 11 in April 2000 and close about 90 locations; it emerged from Chapter 11 in mid-2001. A group led by board member Campbell Lanier III owns about 21% of National Vision.
