BUILDING A FUTURE TOGETHER
More Than Just A Lens Supplier,
YOUR PARTNER WITH VISION
—
New consumer behaviours, demographic changes, and market
dynamics are transforming the Canadian optical industry.
However, one thing that remains the same is the vital role eyecare
professionals play in helping Canadians see better and live better.
Ensuring everyone has access to better vision is a mission we
share alongside eyecare professionals. For the past 45 years,
Essilor Canada has helped them navigate changes in the industry
and take advantage of new opportunities.

Over the years, Essilor Canada has created
initiatives to help empower eyecare
professionals to succeed. We focus on
building value for you and your customers
by providing training, development and
loyalty programs, as well as technical
support to further improve the level
of service and expertise you offer. In
addition, we invest millions each year to
educate consumers on the importance
of eye health, as it impacts the ability
to learn and perform, as well as overall
health and safety. Research and development is at the core of
what has made us a leader in ophthalmic
products for 170 years. Over $300
million has been invested in launching
new technologies to correct and protect
vision, and prevent eye health problems.
In Canada, we sponsor two industrial
research chairs to help discover new ways
to improve vision. We also value our local
operations designed to better serve you,
with over 1,000 Canadian employees,
three digital surfacing laboratories and 29
regional and partner laboratories. We understand the importance of
contributing to the community to promote
visual health and develop access to eyecare.
Every year, we invest over $1.2 million to
maintain and sustain our industry. We
support the next generation of optometrists
and opticians through lens and equipment
donations, trainings and scholarships.
In 2017 alone, in collaboration with
associations and partners, we facilitated
over 25,000 visual screenings conducted
by eyecare professionals to help improve
sight among the underserved populations
throughout the country.
For decades, Essilor Canada has partnered with eyecare professionals, not only helping them
provide quality eyecare, but also supporting them to ensure a thriving industry. We look
forward to continuing to work together to bring better vision to Canadians today.
