The Optical Group began providing buying group services to a small but select group of Canadian Opticians in January 1988. Since that time, The Optical Group has grown and evolved into one of the largest buying groups in Canada. We currently provide billing services to over 540 Optician and Optometric Members. We pride ourselves in meeting our goal of providing Members and Suppliers with efficiencies in time and cost saving, in a friendly, helpful and supportive manor. Karen Ouellette, after 15 years in banking, joined The Optical Group 14 years ago and is now Vice President. Stephanie joined our staff 6 years ago as Admin Assisitant, bringing years of customer service experience. Ruth joined our staff in May 2008 bringing with her years of customer service experience. Optical Professionals will find many benefits in becoming a member of the Group. We offer preferred supplier discounts, consolidated supplier billing, preferred Visa and Mastercard transaction rates, plus a monthly variety of optical and non optical discounts and specials. We also pride ourselves in offering unparalled customer service. Suppliers of optical, as well as non optical goods and services, can also benefit from being a part of The Optical Group, including many of the benefits listed above.
