We’d love to hear about it. We list available and upcoming locations so while you may not see your perfect location, it doesn’t mean we don’t have something yet. Wherever you are in Canada, reach out to our team about your dream location.

As an independent optometrist practicing out of an independent clinic, you have the autonomy in your practice. We emphasize that you’re in business for yourself, not by yourself. We’re always excited to talk about what you’re passionate about. You’re supported by the Clinical Support Team and provincial Optometry Steering Groups made up of optometrists like you.

The work environment is very positive and encouraging. There is great benefit that comes with owning an optometry practice within an environment that is supported by a peer group. I am especially impressed and proud when it comes to the quality of optometry talent that Specsavers attracts. I am honoured to be a part of this progressive and knowledgeable group of full-scope doctors. I feel that Specsavers operates as a true community.

Dr. Kelly Anderson, Optometry Partner

Partnership with Specsavers checks many boxes. I was able to own shares of an optical retail store with a retail partner and start my own independent clinic at the same time. Financially, the opportunity made a lot of sense. Layering this with their excellent technology, investment in their partners and patients, and marketing, makes Specsavers incomparable.

Dr. Jestyn Liew, Optometry Partner

As a business owner, I feel very confident that I’m receiving the best support from such a great team at Specsavers. There’s never a question I can’t ask, so I feel like I can concentrate on what I need to concentrate on most, which is excellent patient care. The biggest strength of Specsavers is they have an enormous amount of experience. I feel very confident in the Specsavers team and I’m very excited to be part of it.

Dr. Mannie Dhillon, Optometry Partner
I think the greatest strength is the strength in numbers and the tried and tested history in different countries. It’s a model that works. Specsavers is a paramount thing to do if you’re concerned with patient care and if you’re concerned with having people you can ask in a moment’s notice to get advice from a professional team as support.
