Essilor was founded in 1972 following a merger between two companies which dominated the French eye-wear optics market at the time. This union brought together technological pioneers in the field of ophthalmic products and materials. Today, Essilor is the world leader in the field of corrective lenses, and has been listed on the CAC 40 Index since January 2005.
