U.S. Vision, Inc., based in Glendora, New Jersey, operates some 600 company-owned retail optical departments in national and regional department stores in the United States and Canada, as well as a handful of freestanding locations. Approximately 400 of the units are located in JC Penney stores, about 65 in Sears locations, and another 85 in regional department stores. The company derives about one-third of its revenues from managed vision care programs. U.S. Vision outlets offer a full range of designer brand and private label prescription eyewear, contact lenses, sunglasses, and accessories. Independent doctors of optometry are available on the premises to provide eye examinations and write prescriptions for eyeglasses and contact lenses. Eschewing the trend of offering eyewear within an hour, U.S. Vision fills customers' orders at its optical laboratory, where lenses are prepared and fitted to frames, then shipped to the retail store within a few working days for customer pickup. If requested by the customer, an order can be completed overnight. The company is owned by a group of investors, including Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer William A. Schwartz, Jr.
