Lenskart and Titan Eyewear are two big companies selling glasses in India.
Lenskart focuses on testing eyes, making glasses quickly, and opening many stores.
They use computers to help them decide where to open new stores.
Titan Eyewear focuses on trained eye doctors, making sure glasses fit well, and selling both online and in stores.
Both companies think there's a lot of room to grow because many people in India need glasses.
Lenskart's stock has gone down a little, but Titan's stock has gone up over the past year.
Both companies had to wait for people to buy glasses in September because of a tax change, but sales picked up after that.
