Participating Company Profiles
Mister Spex is Europe's leading online optician. Through its website, the company offers, alongside contact lenses, the most comprehensive range of directly available designer glasses and sunglasses in Europe. In addi- tion to transparent pricing and cost savings for complete prescription glasses, customers benefit from free ser- vices such as eye tests and glasses adjustments, as Mister Spex already works in partnership with more than 550 local opticians in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands. The company has its own optician's workshop in Berlin, where the final production and quality control of the glasses takes place. The good quality of the glasses was confirmed in December 2014 by the German consumer research and advice foundation Stiftung Warentest, which named Mister Spex one of the best tested opticians. In 2016 Mister Spex opened its first store in Berlin and was honoured with the Red Dot Award for its innovative shop concept in the same year.
