This format will provide optometrists across the country an opportunity to hear from a group of Canadian thought leaders on topics critical to the future of independent optometry.

Drs. Jeff and Tina Goodhew,

The questions that will be addressed include:

  • What is the impact of supplier side consolidation on independent eye care?
  • Why are independents selling out to larger groups? Fear or opportunity?
  • What are the risks and opportunities in moving from retail to medical?
  • How should independents create great customer experiences and loyalty?
  • How do solo practitioners manage the risk in today’s environment?

We are excited to have a discussion such as this on a very important topic, one that is top of mind for many in the industry.
