National Vision Launches Pride Collection; Donation to the Matthew Shepard Foundation

New Capsule Celebrates Self-Expression and Inclusion, with $25K Donation to the

Matthew Shepard Foundation

National Vision Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYE), announced the

launch of its new Pride Collection, a limited series of gender-neutral eyewear celebrating Pride

Month and the LGBTQ+ community. The capsule will be available in America's Best Contacts &

Eyeglasses stores and Vision Centers brought to you by Walmart.

In conjunction with the launch, National Vision is donating $25,000 to support the Matthew

Shepard Foundation, which empowers individuals to embrace the dignity and equality of all

people through local, regional and national outreach, advocacy and resource programs.

The Pride Collection features eight optical frames and four sunglasses. The collection

showcases the Pride rainbow flag and features on-trend styles like crystal frames, oversized

geometric and two-tone designs.

"This collection is about self-expression," said Megan Molony, Senior Vice President of Merchandising. "It's about wearing glasses that show the world who we are and what we value, and doing so in a way that looks good and feels authentic - for every facet of ourselves."

The Pride Collection was developed as a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community. Everyone

featured in the collection's marketing campaign is part of the LGBTQ+ community or a strong

ally, and National Vision associates participated in the naming process for each frame.

"National Vision is focused on getting eye care to people who need it, and healthcare -

including eye care - is a space where inclusion and acceptance needs to be at the forefront,"

said Jacqueline Grove, Senior Vice President, Talent and Development; Diversity, Equity and

Inclusion; Culture; and Philanthropy. "National Vision is proud to support the Matthew Shepard

Foundation and the work it does to advance broad societal changes towards acceptance and

awareness."

The Pride Collection represents National Vision's ongoing commitment to inclusion and support

for the LGBTQ+ community, and the connected work of increasing access to affordable eye

care and eyewear for everyone who needs it.

Beginning today, customers can purchase Pride Collection glasses for $89.95 each or 2 for

$143.95. Sunglasses and optical frames will be available in stores at America's Best Contacts &

Eyeglasses and Vision Centers inside select Walmart stores. Optical frames will also be

available online at americasbest.com.
