Liingo Eyewear

Liingo Eyewear was a U.S.-based direct-to-consumer eyewear company focused on selling prescription glasses online, including a free in-home try-on program and prescription lenses bundled with frames. The company operated at the intersection of consumer vision care, digital retail, and tele-optical services rather than drug development or biotechnology. Liingo was founded in 2016 in Draper, Utah and was acquired by 1-800 Contacts at the end of 2017, with the acquisition announced in January 2018. After operating within the 1-800 Contacts organization for several years, the Liingo brand was rebranded as The Framery in 2025. For a biotech analyst, this is best categorized as a commercial vision-care retail and digital eyewear brand, not a therapeutic developer.
