For Licensed Canadian Opticians

The 1.5 Rule: 8 Sales a Week Replaces Your 40-Hour Retail Salary

The Business-in-a-Box for Canadian opticians who want high-quality patient care, their own hours, and zero retail overhead.

Stop building someone else's practice. Start building yours.

No upfront inventoryStart part-timePIPEDA compliant

The Math That Changes Everything

Average glasses sale: $650 CAD. At 8 sales per week, that's $5,200/week in revenue. Even after costs, you're earning more than most retail optician salaries—working half the hours.

Picture This

It's Tuesday. Same 24 Hours. Two Different Lives.

You have the same licence. The same skills. The only difference is where you choose to use them.

Opticians Who Made the Switch

8-10 appointments/week
I replaced my retail salary with 8-10 appointments a week. I'm home for dinner every night and I haven't missed a school event in six months.

Sarah Chen

Independent Optician, Vancouver

Side hustle to full-time
Started as a weekend side hustle. Within four months, I was making more on Saturdays than my retail job paid all week. Now it's full-time.

Michael Torres

IO since 2024, Toronto

Zero inventory overhead
The order-on-demand model changed everything. I show clients premium frames they can't get at retail chains, and I don't carry any inventory.
