EYE FOCUS | ANNOUNCEMENT
We will always be watching the industry
from afar and we wish an exciting future to
all concerned. Good luck and may you all
grow and prosper.
As we say goodbye and thank you, our
retirement does not mean the end of
Optical Prism.
We are back!
After a four-month pause in our publication
schedule, Optical Prism is back with this
September issue.
The coronavirus has profoundly impacted
our personal and business lives. Optical
Prism is no exception.
Robert May, Publisher, and Mary Lu May,
Associate Publisher, of Optical Prism and
Eye Focus magazines have made a big
decision: we are retiring.
Optical Prism has been published in
Canada for over 38 years and we have been
publishers for in excess of 20 years. The
years have flown by and, like all businesses,
we have weathered the good times and the
bad times.
We would like to thank readers and
advertisers alike for making these years so
interesting and rewarding for us. You have
allowed us to participate in the exciting
Canadian optical marketplace. The optical
industry has definitely changed in these
past 20 years and we’ve been lucky enough to
have had a front-row seat from which we’ve
been able to watch the growth.
We are pleased to announce the sale of
Optical Prism to Quince Communications,
which will be headed by Suzanne Lacorte
who will be the new publisher. The team at
Quince will include our existing managing
editor Denis Langlois and assistant editor
David Goldberg, so there will be seamless
continuation of our editorial excellence.
Working as an art director for over 20 years
with brands such as Elle Canada, Canadian
Living and Style at Home, Suzanne can
honestly say she loves what she does.
At a young age, Suzanne realized she had a
passion for the creative side of the business
and decided to move into graphic design.
Suzanne now has her own freelance
company, which has included working as
the art director of Optical Prism for the past
year and a half.
