Wednesday, April 30 2025 | 14 h 28 min | Eye on the Industry Podcast, News

The optical world just got a little brighter—and funnier—with the launch of the Eye on the Industry podcast, hosted by industry veterans Christine Zeggil and Isabelle Tremblay. Broadcasting their debut episode from the scenic Mayan Riviera, the duo introduced a podcast that promises not only insight into industry trends and innovations but also a healthy dose of humour and humanity.

Whether you’re an optician, optometrist, sales rep, marketer, or someone who simply loves stylish specs, this new podcast invites you into a lively and informative conversation about all things optical.

Why Now? A Rapidly Evolving Industry

Christine and Isabelle explain that the decision to launch Eye on the Industry now stems from the pace of change sweeping across optometry and optical retail. Topics like AI-driven diagnostics, smart lenses, and sustainability are transforming the landscape. But amidst all the noise, they wanted to create a platform that’s not just informative, but fun and accessible—“a front row seat” to industry evolution.

Meet Your Hosts: Passionate, Playful, and In-the-Know

Listeners got to know the hosts a little better in the premiere episode. Christine, who began her optical career in 2000 with Transitions, brings over 25 years of experience spanning business development, sales team leadership, training, professional affairs, and strategic partnerships. Isabelle, president of Eyenovating and a branding expert, recently released a book titled Love Lead Succeed: The Supernatural Approach to Business and Life. Her passion for leadership grounded in emotional intelligence shines through.

Together, their chemistry is undeniable—grounded in 24 years of working side-by-side and a shared commitment to elevating the industry, one episode at a time.

Listeners can look forward to conversations on:

From Fonts to Photochromics: Fun Extras and Final Thoughts

The episode wrapped up with a light-hearted Q&A where the hosts tackled everything from bizarre eyewear trends to what their glasses would say if they could talk.

Christine’s dream frames would include a built-in shopping conscience, and Isabelle wants glasses that can help her find… her glasses.

As Christine put it, “We’ve got amazing episodes coming up—funny, entertaining, insightful—and some very interesting guests.” Isabelle adds, “Trust us, you’re not going to want to miss this.”
