Vision Entrepreneur
Is a hub of resources and expertise in entrepreneurship for independent eye care professionals.
We support optometrists, facilitating the process at every stage of their entrepreneurial journey, whether that means opening a new clinic, developing a partnership with an existing clinic, or planning the sale of an optometry practice.
Here are the three areas of focus at the heart of our mission:
Learn
Our goal is to democratize access to information about entrepreneurship in the optical industry. We feel that it is essential for entrepreneurs in the optical industry to have access to a platform that gathers all the resources and expertise needed to guide individuals in starting up or selling a clinic.
Plan
The secret ingredient to any entrepreneurial venture is proper planning. Vision Entrepreneur provides step-by-step guides for starting, buying or selling an optometry clinic. With this handy resource of expertise and information at their disposal, eye care professionals can quickly determine the right course of action for all of their needs.
Succeed
Over the years, we've heard many success stories from independent optometrists. We want you to feel inspired by them, and that's why we'll share these experiences with you. Discover the best practices and the steps that led to the successful start-up or sale of your colleagues' visual clinic.

" Jas has been able to make my transition to practice ownership as seamless as possible by providing me with the resources I need to run and grow my practice. Jas has an infectious enthusiasm for independent optometry, so when she recommended the OSI Leadership and Management Training course, I knew I had to take the time out of my busy schedule to complete it. This gave me the chance to work directly with Jas over the past few months and learn from her experience in, and knowledge of, the industry. Since I am a solo practitioner and relatively new practice owner, I feel very lucky to have Jas as my Practice Advisor to help me navigate the constant and ever-changing challenges of practice ownership."

"My patients often choose to purchase a second pair thanks to the quality of the lenses and the favourable rates offered for multi-pairs that were negotiated with the Maestro private label."
