Information to update
Hello,

I have been asked to use the Talk Page for any change on the page, so here is the list of what I suggest. Update the number of employees: 74,000 in 2019 Delete the following sentence: Essilor is quoted on the Euronext Paris Stock Exchange. It is a component of the Euro Stoxx 50 share index. Delete the following sentence (not up to date anymore): "27% of its sales are based in Europe, 46% in North America, 6% in Latin America with the remaining 16% based out of Asia, Pacific, Middle East and Africa". Update these percentages: 11% (11.2%) is driven by sunglasses and readers and 3% (2.8%) from other activities, such as equipment sales. Update the number of R&D facilities (5) and Innovation and Technologies Centers (4). Add China to the list of Innovation and Technologies Centers in Asia: “(China and Singapore)”. After this paragraph, add this following sentence “In 2010, Essilor created Shopper Labs, renamed to Essilor Companion™ Lab in 2020, experimental stores for opticians to support them in their professional practices.” "Essilor participate in the Institut de la Vision de Paris, a research center on ocular pathologies inaugurated in December 2008." => "participated" Delete this section because this partnership doesn’t exist anymore. Update data: 68% by the end of 2018 => 67% by the end of 2019. 10,000 => 11,000 Essilor employees Replace this part of the sentence: “owns three of the fifteen seats at the board of directors” by “which is represented by an international Board of Directors.” Delete this paragraph (not necessary on Wikipedia) Update the following data: Employees: 74,000 Labs: 449 Plants: 33 Patents: 9,860 And that's all. Many thanks for your feedback! --SophieEssilorpedia (talk) 16:34, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Spam-edits in 2009 still dominate Essilor and Varilux, also in the history of the redirect at Crizal
Based on the first edit of Varilux on August 10, 2009 (here), a very large August 10, 2009 addition to Essilor (here), the first edit of the now-redirect (here) on the same day, and the contribution history of that editor (here), as well as the contribution history of this non-logged-in editor from July 13-15, 2009 (here) whose IP address currently (11 years later) is listed as a likely-static IP address belonging to Essilor (whatismyipaddress.com lookup), along with the two edits of July 9 and 14 by an editor with a very similar username (here), I think it's safe to say that the two remaining non-redirect articles are heavily contaminated by WP:COI-editing, probably by a single editor employed by Essilor. I will be posting this on both Talk:Essilor and Talk:Varilux and may link to these discussions from relevant WikiProject discussion pages. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  21:05, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Vision Direct into Essilor
Vision Direct is now purchased by that firm., making it just one of their brands.  DGG ( talk ) 05:32, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I think a redirect makes more sense at this rate since Vision Direct's page has barely any additional information. I'll do the redirect in a week if there are no objections. -Karthanitesh (talk) 03:44, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
