Ray-Ban is owned by Essilor-Luxottica, a truly evil conglomerate. Worse on Purpose has an excellent piece about them that is well worth everyoneʻs time to read.

Iʻve been buying Knockaround glasses for years. Theyʻre not owned by Essilor-Luxottica and have pretty great quality that has improved over the years. Only reason Iʻve had to buy new glasses from them was either due to theft or loss.
EDIT to make the conglomerateʻs name accurate and not sound like itʻs co-owned by Aragorn using his kingly name
