I believe 60 minutes TV said Luxottica had a 95% market share.

They do the whole thing from raw materials to marketing to end customers.

Looks like their monopoly allowed in Italy... has their stock at a record high today.

I remember decades ago (35 yrs at least!) when wetsuits were very stiff, leaked at seams and zippers, etc... YKK was a huge advertised feature for better zippers that lasted longer on my O'Neil wetsuits.

IF I recall... YKK zippers were plastic and thus didn't corrode and gum up as easily as metal zippers so wetsuits would last longer not pulling them apart getting the zipper open and closed.
