Eye Care Collective is part of the Edge Care Edge group of initiatives and is supported by Eye Recommend. It’s a professional community designed to support your growth in managing your business. Along with group discounts and consolidated billing, you can also take advantage of other member benefits such as the HR Toolkit. This includes recruitment and onboarding templates, performance tools, and information on provincial regulations.
Membership is open to independent optometrists and opticians that own their practice, including those with corporate affiliations or partnerships. (If you are an Eye Recommend member you will not be part of this group)
You can fill out the ‘Interested in becoming a member?‘ form on the landing page and someone will contact you.
No, your membership to Eye Recommend is exclusive and means that you cannot be part of any other buying group.
ECC does not have any rules around this; however, you should check with your current buying group to confirm whether they allow it. Also keep in mind that one of the key values of ECC membership comes from the collective buying power of the group.
Eye Recommend events are exclusive for their members. ECC is looking to do some local events in the near future – stay tuned!
We have updated our membership fee, and you now have two options. You can choose to pay one low joining fee, then put all your purchases through the group and pay nothing further. Or, you can choose to pay a monthly fee; if your withheld amounts exceed that fee, we will waive it. We can work with you to determine which option is best for you.
Along with pre‑negotiated discounts and consolidated billing that save you time, you also have access to a virtual coach who will tailor the member advantages to suit your needs. We aim to help you sustain and grow by offering benefits such as a marketing toolkit, leadership development, fraud prevention, and dispensing training.
Contact us! We are always looking to improve our membership value, and we want to hear from you. We may already have what you’re looking for; if not, we’ll see how we can support you. Email us at [email protected] with your questions and suggestions.
