Why open an Eyeology in Ottawa?
Ottawa families need full-scope eye care and eyewear that supports patients over time, from routine exams to prescription changes, contact lens care, and eyewear updates. Eyeology gives you an established brand, curated products, and turnkey systems to open and scale in Ottawa.
Eye care in Ottawa
Optometrists are independently licensed by a provincial regulator and practise full scope, including eye examinations, refraction and prescribing.
In Ontario, the profession is regulated by the College of Optometrists of Ontario. Every Eyeology location operates within the scope and standards that apply where it is licensed.
Provincial coverage includes one major eye exam every 12 months for those 19 and under and every 18 months for those 65 and older; adults 20–64 are covered only with an eligible medical condition. Understanding local coverage is part of planning a viable patient mix in Ottawa.

How franchising works in Ontario
Franchise disclosure legislation applies in this province, including a statutory waiting period before any agreement is signed or consideration paid.
Nothing on this page is an offer to sell a franchise. Any offer is made only through the disclosure documents required where you are located, and only where we are registered or exempt.
Why Eyeology works in Ottawa
Public coverage reaches children and seniors, while adults between 20 and 64 pay privately unless they have a qualifying medical condition. That shapes the practice: covered paediatric and senior exams build a long-term patient base, and the eyewear, contact lens and dry eye relationship carries the working-age years. Because children are already seen annually, myopia management fits naturally into visits that are happening anyway.
What every Eyeology location includes
- Built on our own platform — Eyeology franchises run on proprietary practice software — records, dispensing, the online store and virtual try-on in one connected system, without third-party platform licensing.
- A storefront that feeds your clinic — Every location includes a branded online store and virtual try-on.
- Sports and performance eyewear — Protective, sport-specific and prescription sports eyewear is a distinct category we build into every location — a service line that works in every market we operate in.
- Occupational and safety eyewear — Workplace and safety eyewear programs give locations a business-to-business revenue line alongside retail, built around the relevant national standards.
