Transitions Optical in Canada has announced a new consumer contest in partnership with Golf Canada. The Transitions “Keep Your Eyes on the Ball” contest gives Canadian consumers the chance to enter to win over $5,000 in prizes, including a pair of Transitions lenses and a golf trip for four to Kananaskis in Alberta.

Consumers can simply enter the contest now through August 28, 2022 by completing the entry form at Kananaskismagicalexperience.com. The winner will be drawn at random from the contest participants and announced on Tuesday, August 30, 2022.

“Golf is a great match for Transitions, especially since lighting conditions vary greatly on the golf course at all times of day,” said Arnaud Rajchenbach, marketing and sales manager, Transitions Optical Canada. “Whether in direct sunlight or shadows from trees, golf fans and amateur players alike appreciate Transitions ability to seamlessly adapt their level of tint to provide the best protection for comfort and enhanced vision on and off the course. We will also be able to share this with consumers at our Transitions booth during the CP Women PGA Golf Tournament in Ottawa, where visitors will be able to try the 12 Transitions lens colours, ask all their questions about Transitions lenses, and receive customized advice on Transitions.”

The winner of the contest will receive a gift certificate to the optical clinic of their choice that offers Transitions lenses to redeem for their prize pair. The trip to Kananaskis in Alberta includes airfare for four from a major Canadian airport to the golf destination, accommodations, a rental car if necessary, and two rounds of golf.

To ensure clinical excellence, Specsavers has set out to build the largest network of opticians in Canada.

This is because Specsavers believe opticians are crucial to providing high-quality patient care, as they directly and significantly influence a patient’s quality of life.

Leading the charge is Claudia Rojas, Head of Opticianry, Specsavers Canada. Claudia has over 20 years of experience working as a licensed refracting optician and has made tremendous strides in the optical industry. With her commitment to promote eyecare and eye health awareness, Claudia has served on the College of Opticians of British Columbia and is currently the Vice President of the Opticians Association of Canada (OAC) and President of the OAC’s British Columbia Chapter.

“In my new role as Head of Opticianry, I am guided by my commitment to promote eyecare and eye health awareness,” said Claudia Rojas, Head of Opticianry at Specsavers Canada. “I look forward to broadening our network and ensuring opticians feel relevant, important and appreciated, as they are integral to the eyecare industry.”

Specsavers aims to have at least one optician present at all optical stores, at all times, to mentor eyecare consultants and optimize patient care.

“Opticians are integral to the delivery of Specsavers’ purpose, which is to provide accessible, quality eyecare and affordable eyewear,” said Bill Moir, General Manager of Specsavers Canada. “With Claudia at the helm, we’ll continue to support, train and mentor opticians to provide the best care possible, for example, using our OCT scans as a standard part of pre-test and our range of quality eyewear and advanced lenses, to best serve their patients.”

Specsavers is committed to offering its retail team career-progression plans to become licensed opticians and contact lens practitioners through a sponsorship program currently in development.
