Vision Source is considered a franchisor in accordance to franchise law, and its members are franchisees, who own their respective practice. In 2024, Vision Source members reported a combined $3,000,000,000+ in retail sales, professional services, and managed vision benefits, making them the largest optical retailer in the U.S. for 9 straight years, ahead of Luxottica.[1]

Optometrists pay Vision Source a fee based on the percentage of the practice's gross income.[2] In exchange, Vision Source provides optometrists access to new technologies, practice management tools, marketing assistance, and supply chain programs.[3]

Brazos Equity Partners LLC invested in Vision Source in 2011 to support the company's growth.[4]

In 2015, the U.S. subsidiary of Essilor International acquired Vision Source from Brazos Equity Partners LLC for an undisclosed amount.[5]
