Facing Forward
The eyewear industry has undergone significant changes over the past year. From
power mergers and acquisitions to opening the doors to industry partnership.
Until recently, a collaborative approach in Ontario was not part of industry
practice. On April 15 this all changed with new regulations that allow
Optometrists, Opticians and Ophthalmologists to work together under the same
brand. This is a major step forward and one that will enhance the treatment of
patients in Ontario. See what industry leaders have to say about this change in
our Glimpses section.
Are you ready to rock ’n’ roll and rev your engines? This is the
issue that will get you moving. Continuing his commitment to

eyewear collection. We talk with creative director Nico
Roseillier about putting this exciting collection together.
