What happens when an industry becomes increasingly consolidated?

How do independent laboratories continue to compete, innovate, and serve private practice eye care professionals?

In this episode of Mission Optician, Brandon Butler, President & CEO of Artisan Lab Network, joins Gwen Cooper to discuss:

• The state of independent laboratories in the U.S.
• Why competition and choice matter for patients and practices
• The impact of consolidation and private equity
• Lens parity, optician education, and quality outcomes
• The future of independent opticianry and eye care

As Brandon shares in the episode:

"Competition is excellent for the consumer."

Whether you're an optician, optometrist, ophthalmologist, laboratory professional, or industry partner, this conversation offers a unique perspective on where our industry is headed and why independent voices still matter.

Great optical care does not happen by accident. It takes skilled people who know how to guide patients, solve problems, and connect clinical recommendations to real world outcomes.

That is the value opticians bring every day.

They help patients make better choices. They protect the doctor’s recommendation. They improve the patient experience. They help practices grow through trust, education, and service.

Artisan Lab Network is proud to support the United Opticians Association and the 2026 UOA Leadership Conference in Chicago, June 25 to 27, because opticians deserve a strong voice in the future of our industry.
