Hammond and Dummer takes top down route to lens selection and wins Optician Award

[GalleryComponent="57"]

Patient feedback and a top down approach to dispensing won over the judges in their decision to choose Hammond and Dummer as the 2014 Premium Lens Practice of the Year at the Optician Awards.

Hammond and Dummer’s determination to get its patients into the best possible lenses was clear in its entry and its dispensing figures back that up. Not only does the practice have 478 lenses to choose from but of its Rodenstock progressives 92 per cent were the premium Impression lens. The practice doesn’t offer uncoated lenses to adults and of the product it ordered from Rodenstock 79 per cent were coated, its entry revealed. By having such a wide variety of lenses to choose from Hammond and Dummer says it can always offer the most suitable option for the patient. Among the lenses joining its line up in the year under review was Tokai’s 1.76 index bi-aspheric, the thinnest and lightest lens on the market.  Among other products it mentions is Trivex and sport lenses from Shamir with base curves to 8 and cyl powers up to nine.
