Canadian Top Optical Retailers Survey Launched

VuePoint IDS Inc, publisher of Optik Magazine, is launching its first annual comprehensive survey of Canadian optical retailers for inclusion in the 2018 Top Optical Retailers report this fall.

First results from the survey will be published in the July-August digital and print issues of Optik. The survey includes optical retail revenue for the period ending December 31, 2017, as well as location information, e.g.  the number of optical dispensing doors in the country for each retail banner.

Canadian optical retailers with annual revenue in excess of $20 million CAD are invited to participate.  The Top Canadian Retail survey form can be downloaded here.

A Vision Monday, published by Jobson Medical Information LLC, publishes a Top 50 Optical Retail report for the USA market. The report includes sales and units for the leading USA optical retailers and compares them to prior years. The US report is now online at Vision Monday.
