Shaping the Future of Eyecare

We believe the best clinical strategies are informed by the expertise and experience of our network of independent optometrists. That's why we have Optometry Steering Groups across Canada, bringing together a diverse group of optometry partners to help guide and strengthen patient care. 

Working collaboratively, these groups help trial, refine, and implement initiatives across areas such as emerging technologies, specialty services, and enhancements to routine care. Their insights ensure that innovations are both clinically effective and commercially practical, helping deliver better outcomes for patients and supporting the evolving needs of communities across Canada.

Read more on how the Optometry Steering Groups helped introduce myopia management as an option for clinic owners.
