Kits delivered more than 74,000 pairs of eyeglasses in the quarter, while reducing marketing spend on eyeglasses compared to Q2 2021.

The team at Kits added that there is also a “tremendous demand” for the company’s vertically integrated direct-to-consumer vision care offering, which remains flexible and unencumbered by costly retail locations and is driven by word of mouth engagement.

Final results are expected next month.
