Today, we celebrate the people, experiences, and communities that connect us from coast to coast. As a national network with members and communities across the country, we are grateful for the opportunity to support independent eye care in diverse regions and communities throughout Canada.

It is also a time to reflect on our shared history, appreciate the perspectives that shape our nation, and recognize the importance of fostering strong, inclusive communities.

Wherever you're celebrating, we hope you fire up the BBQ and enjoy a fantastic day filled with appreciation, laughter, and your favourite people. Happy Canada Day from Eye Recommend!

What sets a thriving optometry practice apart from one that feels stuck? Hint: It’s not the equipment or the location.

Eye Recommend COO Teresa Sebastian shares why investing in your team culture is the ultimate competitive advantage for independent practices. When your team is supported, highly trained, and aligned, the patient experience improves naturally—building the kind of loyalty that keeps patients coming back.

Start working on your business instead of just in it. Watch the video to hear from Teresa, and head to the link in our bio to read the full article to learn how you can level up your team.

Is your practice ready for the baby boomer demographic shift?

Canada’s population is changing rapidly. Baby boomers make up roughly 25% of our population, and they are entering a new phase of life. Over the next 20 years, the pressure on the healthcare industry, especially eye care, is going to skyrocket.

Since cataracts are the leading cause of vision loss in people over 80, the demand for cataract treatment is about to surge.

But there’s a major hurdle: Awareness.

71% of people don't know how to identify cataract symptoms.
84% don't know the prevention recommendations.

Now is the time to act. As eye care professionals, we have a crucial opportunity to inform aging patients about cataracts, symptoms, and treatments.

Here is how your clinic can prepare today:

🔹 Leverage emerging tech to diagnose cataracts proactively.
🔹 Start conversations early, taking care to address patient fears.
🔹 Educate patients on symptoms and discuss modern treatment options.
🔹 Encourage word-of-mouth by asking patients to remind friends to get tested.
🔹 Set up a referral program tailored for aging patients.

Prioritize awareness, education, and prevention to position your clinic as the go-to destination for Canada’s aging population.

June is National Indigenous History Month, a time to honour the histories, cultures, and enduring contributions of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples across Canada.

As a national network with members and communities from coast to coast to coast, this month is a meaningful reminder of the land we operate on and the relationships we are each responsible for nurturing—in our clinics, our communities, and our profession.

Reconciliation is ongoing. Listening and learning are part of that work, and we are committed to both.

We encourage our members across Canada to take time this month to reflect, engage, and honour the Indigenous communities in the regions where you live and practice.

We fitted our trainers with Meta Glasses and sent them out to do their thing! Here they are, upskilling Calgary practices at the Dispensing 2.0 Bootcamp.

The Dispensing 2.0 Bootcamp is perfect for team members who have already attended the Essentials Skills Bootcamp as the next step in their learning to enhance their knowledge. It's also valuable for your more senior team members who want to reach the next level with their skills or ready for cross-training.

Our bootcamps take place across Canada. Visit the events page on our website to see what's coming to you.
