This impetus for the Future of Canadian Optometry series began when the announcement was made that Specsavers was coming to Canada, making bold statements about their plans for the market and rapid growth across the country. They plan to open 200+ locations across the country in the next couple of years. In the third installment of the series, Dr. Harbir Sian speaks with Bill Moir, GM of Specsavers Canada, to answer the questions that have been bubbling up about the future of Canadian optometry.

In this episode, Mr. Moir discusses:

• What made Canada a desirable market for Specsavers

• Why he believes consolidation is harmful to optometry

• The Specsavers business model has been successful in other markets (UK and Australia)

• What his organization is doing to support optometry

• What he feels needs to change with the educational system

Aequus Pharmaceuticals present the Future of Canadian Optometry series. Stay tuned for all six interviews with guests from different large organizations within Canadian eye care.
