Our Story

From simple beginnings as a four page Suggested Ophthalmic Retail Price List in 1980, the Eye Talk Reference Guide has grown into an essential reference book of more than 180 pages. The Optical Distributors and Manufacturers Association - the peak body for manufacturers, suppliers and importers of optical and ophthalmic products and services in Australia (ODMA) - acquired the Eye Talk business in 2014. The ODMA Eye Talk Reference Guide contains a wide range of important reference information for use in practices every day and is updated quarterly to keep up with the changes and additions in the marketplace.

Eye Talk Digital

Eye Talk Digital is a companion service to the industry-standard Eye Talk Reference Guide. Subscribers can use this service to download a computer file containing the latest product and price changes. When used in conjunction with popular practice management software, this avoids the need to enter all of the price and product changes every 3 months.

Simply download the Eye Talk Digital file, then use your software (e.g., Optomate, Ocelot or Sunix Vision) to import the latest information.
