Two weekends ago, back at ODMA Fair, we had the privilege of celebrating the success of the Full Circle Program with so many of the independent practices who make it possible.

In partnership with Safilo, this program was built to support independents with complete pair solutions that are simple, powerful, and brand-driven — and seeing it thrive is a reflection of the strength and unity within our community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the cocktail event — and to all who continue to believe in the value of Australian manufacturing, independent care, and what we can achieve when we come together.

We’re so proud of what we’ve built — and we’re just getting started.
