Become a clinic owner

With DOYLE, it’s easier than you may think.

Are you an eye care professional and want to have your own clinic?

At DOYLE, we promote entrepreneurship by making it easier for optometrists and opticians to start their own business. We rely on a unique approach: a balanced partnership with optometrists and opticians.

Whether you are acquiring shares in an existing clinic or opening a new store, everyone shares the responsibilities and benefits from each other’s strengths.

By joining the DOYLE group, you will have the chance to:

  • develop something that will belong to you
  • contribute to building a local business;
  • vary your business practice

DOYLE is not a chain. It’s like a family, where everyone has their own identity and personality, but shares the same values.

Founded in 1978, DOYLE remains one of the last groups in the industry to be 100% owned by Quebec opticians and optometrists. This allows us to place the interests of our teams and our customers at the heart of our decisions, all while enjoying independence.

To date, DOYLE has several boutiques in the greater Montreal and Quebec City areas and plans to expand to other regions of Quebec.

Our vision is to build the most inspiring optometry/optic network in the industry.

What makes us different from others?

Our desire to build a bridge between optometry and eyewear through a distinctive experience, individualized care and quality products.

Uncompromising eye care

We believe that eye care should be accessible and available to all, without discrimination based on age or budget. Everyone is welcome at DOYLE.

We believe that quality eye care is the key to eye health, which is why all our boutiques are equipped with OCT, and why we focus on developing expertise in dry eye syndrome and scleral lenses.

Quality products

We love durable eyewear, and we focus on quality, without compromise.

We believe that our frames should be chosen locally, and we favour eyewear brands that stand out for their design and manufacturing quality. All our boutiques have their own laboratory, so that our eye care professionals can enjoy greater flexibility and control over their work.

We also collaborate with the world’s leading glassmakers because we believe in supporting research and innovation in our field.

A distinctive experience

Online and in our boutiques, we strive to create a pleasant and intuitive experience in a trendy environment that highlights our expertise and our products.

For us, the virtual world must enhance the experience of our customers and not replace the experts. We use the web to inform our patients and facilitate interactions.

Our unique ownership program

DOYLE offers eye care professionals a unique entrepreneurial approach to co-owning their eye care boutique through the Doyle Share Ownership Program.

DOYLE’s winning “recipe”

Over the years, we have chosen to create partnerships with an optometrist and an optician in each boutique, because we believe in the combined strength of the two professionals.

The two roles have proven to be complementary for the well-being of the patient.

A happy mix of autonomy and support

The owner-partners are very involved in their boutique and enjoy a great deal of autonomy, while being able to benefit from valuable expertise and support from the head office in various areas. It’s truly the best of both worlds!
