Jena, May 30, 2025 – eyes + more, the fastest-growing optical retail chain in Germany, announces the opening of a new store in Jena.

We make high-quality eyewear accessible to everyone,” says Martin Peiffer, Head of Expansion at eyes + more. “Our transparent fixed-price concept and wide selection of stylish, high-quality glasses clearly set us apart from traditional optical retailers. We are proud to bring our innovative concept to Jena. The days of overpriced glasses and hidden costs are over – this is the new standard in Jena and the surrounding area.”
Covering approximately 60 square meters, the new store offers not only a modern sales area and a dedicated space for eye tests, but also a unique shopping experience in a pleasant atmosphere. The store design, featuring wood elements with a warm, modern look, creates a truly welcoming environment.
Whether it's single vision, progressive, reading, or sunglasses – eyes + more is bringing an exclusive eyewear collection to Jena: from monthly changing fashion collections and collaborations with celebrity brand ambassadors Jana Ina and Giovanni Zarrella to a special sports eyewear collection developed in partnership with the professional cycling team Picnic PostNL. In addition, there's a wide range of popular brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Ray-Ban, and – new to the lineup – Armani Exchange.
“Affordable prices and high quality don’t have to be a contradiction – at eyes + more, they go hand in hand. Just recently, our company was once again recognized by TÜV for price, quality, and customer service. We offer not only high-quality glasses, but also personalized, eye-level advice – provided by qualified team members, including a certified master optician and experienced sales professionals,” says the local store management.
