Optician Awards: Technology at its best

Rising to the top of the Technology Practice of the Year category at the Optician Awards is most definitely more of a marathon than a sprint. It usually takes many years to build up the expertise and equipment necessary to challenge for the award and the 2022 winner, Maskell + Josephson, is no different.

‘This practice has always been at the forefront of technology,’ comments Anthony Josephson, optometrist and director at Maskell + Josephson. ‘I joined 10 years ago and, even then, it had already offered optical coherence tomography (OCT) for five or six years and had a Heidelberg Retina Tomograph regularly in use too.

‘Over the last few years, we’ve updated all our technology in the pre-screening room, digitised as much as possible in the testing room with auto-phoropters and big screens to show imaging results, and invested in the Zeiss Visufit for our showroom to offer the very latest in measurements and facial imaging.’
