VANCOUVER—Kits Eyecare Ltd. (TSX: KITS), a vertically integrated, digital eyecare platform based here, said this week that it has launched a partnership together with Canadian managed care and financial advisory company Sun Life. Sun Life is one of the largest providers of group benefits in Canada, serving more than 6 million Canadians. Kits will provide an exclusive vision care offer to all Sun Life clients, accessible through Sun Life's mobile app and the website mysunlife.ca. The offer, exclusive to Sun Life, is the latest partnership in the Fulfillment by Kits (FBK) platform, according to the announcement.

Kits said it offers immediate access to high quality eyecare, and that it maintains one of the largest inventories of contact lenses and eyeglasses with over 700 styles and over 300,000 frames in stock, including the Kits brand as well as top manufacturers’ brands. All prescription eyeglasses are produced at Kits' state-of-the-art optical lab in Vancouver.
 
“We are delighted to introduce our Kits eyecare offering to the millions of Sun Life clients,” Roger Hardy, chief executive officer of Kits, said in the announcement. “Canadians are setting an increasingly higher bar for the quality, selection and value they expect in optical, and we are excited to be able to deliver high quality glasses, premium contact lenses and online vision tools directly to our customers' homes.
 
"Our prescription glasses are made right here in Vancouver, B.C., so Sun Life clients can expect to receive their order in just a few days, and know they are supporting a Canadian company with their purchase."
