May was a month of planting seeds and growing partnerships. 🌱
Across North America, The Optical Foundry team connected with eyecare professionals, exchanged ideas, showcased new collections, and continued building momentum for independent eyewear.
Throughout the month, we were proud to participate in the Opticians Association of Massachusetts (OAM) in Waltham, Massachusetts; the Montana Optometric Association in Helena, Montana; the PECAA Annual Meeting in San Diego, California; Eye Recommend NTE West in Calgary, Alberta; and West Coast Better Vision in Palm Harbor, Florida.
Every event brought meaningful conversations, valuable feedback, and a shared commitment to supporting independent optical. We're grateful for the opportunity to connect with so many passionate practitioners and partners who continue to strengthen our industry.
At The Optical Foundry, our core principle is simple: providing independent business solutions for independent eyecare professionals. Through distinctive eyewear brands, virtual try-on technology, education, and marketing support, we're committed to helping independent practices thrive.
A huge thank you to Dan Hoffman, Teresa Lowe, Anthony Graves, Cynthia McWilliams, Luke Camilleri, and Jill Kielas for representing The Optical Foundry and our family of independent eyewear brands with dedication, expertise, and enthusiasm.
Whether through trade shows, trainings, trunk shows, or local events, your efforts help bring our mission of Independence for Independents to life every day.
The Optical Foundry. Built on partnership. Growing together.
