Optician Awards 2021: Winners

For the first time in almost three years the Optician Awards were presented in front of a packed house with 500 guests in attendance at the Grosvenor House Hotel on London’s Park Lane to see the 2021 trophies awarded.

The atmosphere on the night was electric with optical folk hungry to catch up with old friends and party after so many months of cancelled events. Welcoming guests, Optician editor-in-chief Chris Bennett praised the audience for their efforts in ensuring patients continued to get the care they needed during the pandemic. ‘There were times,’ he said, ‘I wondered if we would ever get everyone back together to celebrate the Optician Awards like this. It would have been easy to say: “let’s just do it online.” But as our judges found reading the entries, in optics that’s just not the way we roll.’
