Applied Spectacle Technology Practice of the Year

For the King's Cross Eye Clinic (KCEC), the first year in business has certainly been one to celebrate. Within six months of opening its doors - in July 2006 - the practice had 900 patients registered, and this number is steadily growing. And, at this year's Optician Awards, the practice was shortlisted for no less than three awards, eventually winning two: Applied Spectacle Technology Practice of the Year and Software Practice of the Year.

In the category of Applied Spectacle Technology, sponsored by Optovision, it was the broad range of frame and lens suppliers, plus the on-site glazing facilities which drew the praise from the judging panel.
