During the pandemic, tuning in to podcasts has become a habit for many Canadians. According to a study conducted in the spring of 2020, 22% of Canadians are now regular podcast listeners—that’s more than twice as many as in 2017!
Essilor Canada has launched “Essilor Eye Pod”, a series of podcasts for eye care professionals where industry experts share their insights on the latest trends, sales advice, and specialized knowledge of ophthalmic lenses.
The First Two Episodes Dedicated to Transitions® Lenses
Created by Essilor, the first two episodes feature discussions with an optometrist (Dr. Kiran Ramesh/Dr. Germain Dupuis) and an optician (Wael Yassein/Elizabeth Brassard), all of whom are Transitions®-certified Essilor Experts who weigh-in on the subject of Light Intelligent Lenses™.
During the 15-minute episodes, these experts share their insights on the advancements of the Transitions® brand, trends in Light Intelligent Lenses™, and also advise their peers on the most effective ways to introduce Transitions® lenses to their patients.
For Your Eyes and Ears: “Essilor Eye Pod” Available on Several Listening Platforms
The first podcast, available in English, went live on September 8 and the second, in French, will be available as of September 20. With this bilingual format, the goal is to engage the whole community of eye care professionals across Canada.
“Creating this podcast allowed us to engage with eyecare professionals in a very natural way, through discussions with peers who share their knowledge and professional advice. It’s an innovative and fun tool. The first two episodes dedicated to Transitions® are just the beginning—be sure to stay tuned for more!”, says Mathieu Arsenault, Brand manager for Transitions® & Xperio®.
Listen to the podcasts on the Essilor Canada website or through these major listening platforms: Spotify, Deezer, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, and Podcast Addict.

Eye Care Business Canada and NewOptometrist.ca have announced the meeting dates for a three-part series, “Changing Landscapes: Opportunities & Options for Canadian ECPs”.
The three-event series will start on Monday October 25th (7:30 PM Eastern) and will run on three consecutive weeks i.e. Monday, November 1st and Monday, November 8th.
The series will debut Eye Care Business Canada’s platform for digital events and feature industry thought leaders from Canada’s leading eye care organizations, each contributing their perspectives to important topics of relevance to optometrists and optical professionals in the current, always changing, environment.
The event series will be moderated by Roxanne Arnal, OD and Certified Financial Planner, bringing an informed and unique perspective to the events.
Technology Drives Change
The first event (October 25th) will
delve into the key technology factors expected to impact the future of professional
practice in the near term. Tele-optometry, impact of omni-channel selling and remote
face trace technology enabling touchless ophthalmic lens dispensing are among
the factors to be discussed.
Whether or not professions embrace emerging technologies or avoid them, there is no denying technology’s potential game changing role in both the clinical and commercial side of practice.
Follow up Events: Buying & Selling and Career Paths
Has COVID changed the valuations of eye care practices?
Industry experts will provide perspectives on the current state of play in the Canadian practice acquisition market.
Current owners and astute prospective owners seeking opportunity will hear from and meet first-hand through the virtual platform in the second event Monday, November 1.
Career options and opportunities or both young and experienced ODs have never been greater as new organizations offering unique business models enter the market and established entities respond to the changing environment.

Almost 1,500 eyewear professionals and select buyers visited the show. And, with 130 Italian and international brands, the event reconfirmed itself as a key resource for the entire eyewear industry which, in Italy, brings in about 4 billion euro in turnover, and employs a workforce of 18,000.
The event attracted a substantial turnout this year from across Italy and the world, for a 55% increase in attendance. The number of exhibitors rose by 50%, compared to last year. Of the 130 brands participating, 45% were international.
“This year, more than ever, DaTE was a pivotal driver for the industry, as well as the place where in-person meetings, sharing and business was possible. For 3 days, we were surrounded by keen interest and a craving to invest in the future and in new projects. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of this edition – stated Giovanni Vitaloni, President of the event. The last 2 years were unbelievably complex and DaTE 2021, finally put the industry machine back into motion.”
