Optician Awards: Celebrating optics 2022

After hours of deliberation, the judging panels for the 2022 Optician Awards have released their results to reveal the final shortlists.

Seventeen categories in all were proposed for this year’s edition of the Optician Awards. As ever, new accolades were included in the line-up, with CooperVision introducing the Myopia Management Award and the Sustainable Practice Award. The Build Back Better Award, to be presented on the night by Menicon, also makes its debut along with a special Jubilee Vision Award sponsored by Specsavers.

Support for the Awards from the retail and supply sectors of the business has been phenomenal. Optix is sponsoring the Practice Technology Award, Scope the Multiple Practice of the Year Award, Boots the Lens Award, Asda the Dispensing Optician of the Year Award, with all joining Specsavers and the Jubilee Vision Award as main category sponsors. Also lending their support is Menicon, which will be presenting the Build Back Better Award, while Marcolin presents the Fashion Practice of the Year Award. Further support has been provided by the Association of British Dispensing Opticians (ABDO) and the Cambridge Spectacle Co who will present trophies on the night. Recruitment specialist Vivid Optical returns to sponsor some of the evening’s entertainment.
