Winner: Menicon

Shortlisted:

Menicon fought off stiff competition from Bausch + Lomb, CooperVision and Positive Impact to win the Contact Lens of the Year category at the 2022 Optician Awards last November. The contest was close-run, with two entrants testing the panel’s judgement. Menicon was chosen for its ‘great innovation and good understanding of the needs of the eye care professional (ECP) and their patients’. One judge described the company as an ‘unsung hero of the sector’.

Kevin Mitchell, Menicon’s UK managing director, says that winning the award has been a ‘real honour’. ‘We were surprised to win and when the announcement was made on the night, we were blown away by the warm reception we received. The night was fantastic and I think everyone really enjoyed the opportunity to get together after such a long time. This was a competitive category with many strong contenders,’ he adds.
