College leads praise for Norbert Cohn

The College of Optometrists has reported the death of optometrist Norbert Cohn, a College life fellow and trustee of the College’s and AOP’s Benevolent Fund.

Cohn was noted for making an ‘enormous and lifelong contribution to the profession’.

‘Both his commitment and his many friendships within the profession are testimony to how well Norbert was liked and admired by all those that came into contact with him,’ a statement by the College added.

Cohn qualified in 1944 and worked in Tooting until he opened his own practice in Hampstead in 1951 where he continued to practise for over 40 years until he retired from full time work in 1992.
