About C.O.P.S

"As stated by Gary Bevan C.O.P.S president, CEO and founder was formed at the request of several optometrists, who had been the forward thinking pioneers of plunging their practices with an optical computer system introduced to Canada by Gary Bevan. This new venture opened in May of 1983 and is a leader in ensuring member optometrists and ophthalmologists have the latest products and services available at the best possible price. Unique custom software has allowed us to process members monthly statements quickly and accurately allowing practices to write only one cheque for all monthly purchases, and allowing C.O.P.S. to write one cheque to each Supplier monthly. Several new and innovative ideas, to create patient flow, competitiveness with chains are paramount to the preservation of independent optometry. No changes in staff will be effected and we continue to service our members, particularly in light of new conflict of interest regulations now before the legislature. We encourage optometrists to avail them of our services and look forward to this new venture."
