Whether you're setting up a new optical dispensary, auditing your current supply chain, or onboarding a new purchasing manager, a clear checklist of what to stock — and at what quantities — is a practical starting point.
This guide covers the full range of optical accessories that most Canadian practices need to have on hand, how to think about quantities and reorder timing, and how to source them from a domestic wholesale supplier.
Eyeglass cases
Cases are the most visible branded item your practice gives out with every frame purchase. Stock at minimum one case style in enough quantity to cover 4–6 weeks of frame sales.
- Soft cases — lightweight, economical, good for sunglasses or fashion frames
- Plastic clamshell cases — the dispensary standard; best everyday case for most practices
- Metal hard cases — for premium frame lines where the case should reflect the purchase price
- Custom logo: consider branding cases with your practice logo — patients keep them for years
Lens cleaner spray
Every patient who buys glasses needs lens cleaner. Retail or give-away, it's a recurring revenue or goodwill item. Stock 6–8 weeks of your average usage.
- 125ml spray bottles — the standard retail format, available in multiple colours
- Bulk refill — for high-volume practices with decanting setups
- Stock 2–3 colours to create patient choice and improve impulse purchase rates
Microfibre lens cloths
Cloths are consumed constantly — patients lose them, use them for other screens, or ask for replacements. Custom printed cloths with your logo are your longest-lasting per-patient marketing touchpoint.
- Plain cloths — economical, good for high-volume handout situations
- Custom logo printed cloths — highest brand recall of any accessory you distribute
- Stock in the colour(s) that complement your dispensary aesthetic
Retail bags
A bag at the point of sale completes the purchase experience and carries your branding out of the store. Drawstring and slip-in soft bags are the most common optical retail bag format.
- Drawstring bags — versatile, popular for both eyeglasses and sunglasses
- Slip-in / envelope pouches — flat profile, easy to store, good for glasses storage
- Custom printing available on most bag styles
Nosepads and screws
Repair supplies are a patient retention tool — a practice that can fix a loose nosepad on the spot keeps the patient's trust (and often their next purchase). Stock a comprehensive assortment kit covering the most common frame brands.
- Nosepad assortment kits — silicone and hard plastic, multiple pad styles and sizes
- Screw assortment kits — various lengths and head types covering major frame brands
- Screwdriver set — micro screwdrivers for frame adjustment and repair
