Lenskart Q2 FY26: Operating Metrics
| Metric | Q2 FY25 | Q2 FY26 | YoY Growth | H1 FY25 | H1 FY26 | YoY Growth |
| Eye Tests Conducted (Mn) | 3.9 | 5.6 | +44.3% | 7.3 | 10.7 | +46.9% |
| Eyewear Units Sold (Mn) | 6.9 | 8.3 | +20.2% | 13.7 | 16.7 | +22.0% |

The operational engine continues to fire on all cylinders — eye tests surged 47%, units sold grew 22%, and new store additions more than doubled year-on-year. Importantly, 46% of all eye tests were first-time exams, validating Lenskart’s role in market creation rather than share capture.
Profitability Anchored in Structure and Scale
The company’s product margin of 69% reflects deep vertical integration and backward-linked manufacturing efficiency. Automation and robotics at its Bhiwadi plant have reduced lens and frame costs 35–40% below industry averages, creating structural margin strength.
EBITDA margin progression: FY23: 8.3% → FY24: 14.5% → FY25: 17.0% → Q2 FY26: 19.8%
PAT margin progression: FY23: -3.3% → FY24: 1.4% → FY25: 5.6% → Q2 FY26: 5.3%
These steady improvements validate Lenskart’s operating leverage thesis — fixed costs remain stable while revenue expands, translating into consistent margin expansion.
Technology: The Core Flywheel
Lenskart’s strength lies in its AI-driven omnichannel model.
- Remote Eye Testing: Over 500 stores now operate with AI-assisted remote optometry, addressing India’s chronic shortage of trained optometrists.
- GeoAnalytics (GeolQ): Uses satellite, mobility, and 3,000+ variables to identify profitable locations, ensuring predictable store payback (~10 months).
- Computer Vision (TangoEye): Analyzes in-store behavior to optimize customer flow.
- Digital Ecosystem: Over 100 million app downloads and 45% digitally influenced sales reinforce omnichannel depth.
These platforms ensure scalability and consistency — allowing Lenskart to open 300+ stores annually while maintaining service quality and unit economics.
Smart Glasses: The Next Consumer-Tech Leap
- In Q4 FY26, Lenskart will debut its “B by Lenskart” Smart Glasses, integrating AI and Snapdragon AR1 technology.
- These smart eyewear devices will offer UPI payments, fitness tracking, object scanning, translations, and real-time video capture — developed entirely in-house using the Gemini AI platform.
- This initiative positions Lenskart not only as a retailer but as a hardware-software innovator, potentially opening a new high-margin product category globally.
Conclusion
Lenskart Q2 FY26 results confirm a clear structural uptrend — strong revenue visibility, improving margins, healthy cash flow, and disciplined expansion.
Key highlights:
- Robust demand creation in Tier 2+ cities.
- Operating leverage from technology and integration.
- Expanding international footprint with improved profitability.
- Entry into smart eyewear — a potentially transformative category.
With margins expanding every quarter and a clear long-term runway of 2,000+ potential new stores, Lenskart exemplifies a high-quality compounding business in India’s consumer-tech space.
As Peyush Bansal stated, “It’s still Day Zero — the journey toward Vision for a Billion has only begun.”
