Build the pathway to independent optometry ownership.

A leadership and ownership accelerator designed to empower the next generation of optometrists and optical professionals to build and lead independent practices.

The Future of Independent Optometry

Independent optometry is one of the most rewarding paths within eye care.

But the pathway to ownership is rarely clear.

Vision Independence was created to help the next generation of optometrists and industry professionals better understand the world of independent practice and explore what ownership could look like for them.

This is not simply education.
It’s a structured introduction to the thinking, strategy, and leadership required to build an independent practice.

For Those Curious About Independence

Vision Independence is designed for people who are asking bigger questions about their future in the profession.

Optometrists exploring ownership
Optical professionals interested in the business side of the industry
Early-career clinicians curious about independent practice
Future practice partners and leaders

The program is not about pushing people toward ownership.

It’s about helping professionals understand the landscape clearly and decide whether independence is the right path for them.

A Different Kind of Program

Vision Independence brings together insights from across the optometry industry to explore topics such as

the independent practice landscape
ownership strategy
practice development
growth and positioning
leadership and long-term vision

Participants gain exposure to the ideas and conversations that shape independent practice.

A Cohort of Future Practice Leaders

Vision Independence is delivered as a cohort-based experience.

Participants move through the program together, sharing ideas, perspectives, and insights about the future of independent optometry.

Cohort sizes are intentionally limited to maintain a highly interactive environment.

Join the First Cohort

Applications for the inaugural Vision Independence cohort will open soon.

If you are curious about the future of independent optometry, we invite you to register your interest.
