Future dispensing opticians and contact lens opticians graduated at Canterbury Cathedral on April 24 during the Association of British Dispensing Opticians’ (ABDO) annual ceremony.

During the ceremony, a handshake indicated the moment graduands become graduates and became a full part of the profession of dispensing optics.

ABDO president Daryl Newsome, and Elizabeth Shilling, master of the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers, both addressed the graduands and their families and supporters.

Newsome said it was an honour to meet some of the family and friends who supported graduates on their journey to qualification.
