The Myopia Management Award
sponsored by CooperVision
Winner: Deven Lakhani, Hammond Opticians
Finalists:
• Central Vision Opticians
• Lynne Fernandes Optometrists
• Tompkins, Knight & Son Optometrists
Enfield-based Hammond Opticians was shortlisted in 2023 for the Myopia Management Award. Despite not winning that year, the practice was undeterred and re-entered the Optician Awards in 2024.
Now, as a winner, Deven Lakhani, director and optometrist at the independent practice, tells Optician he feels very privileged.
‘I knew most of the practices in the shortlist and they’re all fantastic practitioners, so when my name was announced, it was just amazing. I felt completely on a high. It’s only because somebody who was on the table with us videoed me collecting the award that I know that I actually walked up and I didn’t stumble. In terms of my professional career, it’s probably the highlight,’ Lakhani adds.
