This new combined company will operate under the brand, Luna. Luna means moon 
in Latin and speaks to their moonshot of quality, affordable, accessible vision 
for all. 


"We have always been focused on the constant pursuit of a better way for 
vision. We take a customer-centric approach to make buying glasses and contacts 
simple and affordable. To expand our reach, we knew we'd have to expand upon 
our partnerships with other retailers and doctors," said John Graham, CEO of 
1-800 Contacts.


Luna is a separate business held under common ownership with 1-800 Contacts 
that is formed through the combination of Premium Vision, Ditto, 6over6 and 
ExpressExam. Premium Vision provides contact lens fulfillment services and an 
eCommerce site platform to other optical retailers. In 2021, 1-800 Contacts 
announced the acquisition (

) of Ditto, the leading eyewear virtual try-on technology company, and shared 
their intention to combine Ditto with 6over6 (

), whom they acquired in 2019. 6over6 has created the world's first medical 
grade mobile subjective refraction app so customers can obtain a new 
prescription using only a smartphone. ExpressExam is a telehealth prescription 
renewal platform that connects customers with eye doctors in order to renew a 
contact lens or glasses prescription online.


"We are excited to bring the complementary capabilities of Ditto, 6over6, 
Premium Vision, and ExpressExam together to create the Luna business. This 
suite of products is unmatched in the industry and creates turnkey solutions 
that make it much easier for our clients to successfully execute the digital 
transformation that will set them up for future success," added Kellen Fowler, 
President of Luna. Prior to Luna, Kellen was the SVP of Strategy and Business 
Development at 1-800 Contacts. In that role, he was closely involved in 
building ExpressExam, growing Premium Vision, acquiring 6over6 and Ditto, and 
developing the strategy to combine them in a unified business.
