Ray-Ban maker EssilorLuxottica says Mark Zuckerberg interested in stake

EssilorLuxottica SA said Meta Platforms Inc. is planning to buy a stake in the world’s biggest eye-wear maker, a deal which would see the US tech giant stepping up its push into smart glasses.

Chief Executive Officer Francesco Milleri made the comments about Meta’s interest during a call with analysts late Thursday, after weeks of speculation about the Facebook owner’s plans. A spokesperson for Meta declined to comment.
