Lumination's magnification consultants offer one to one consultations, based on which products are most appropriate to an individual's particular eye condition. Peepers opened a webstore in november of 2020 designed to sell less consultative products, and in 2024 was rebranded as lumination, and the store features items for use in the home and office, talking medical devices and alarms, and will soon be a retailer of ray-ban meta glasses.
