Optician Awards 2018: Independent Practice of the Year

At this year’s Opticians Awards in April, Vision Optique received the award for Independent Practice of the Year, sponsored by Hoya.

The West London based practice has been open since 2012 and has around 2,000 patients on its books. Optometrist Archana Somani is the owner and describes the practice as ‘a boutique optician that has the flexibility to provide customers with a choice of lenses and frames from a wide range of suppliers to suit every requirement and budget’.

The staff also commission bespoke frames and lenses to ensure the best fit and comfort for customers.

Diagnostic tests that the practice offers include OCT scanning and dry eye assessments, and Somani says it is the only practice in the area to offer Blephex treatment. She also has a special interest in laser eye surgery and the practice offers consultations for patients who are considering having the procedure.
