London DO makes Macular Society’s Awards shortlist

A dispensing optician from Southgate in London has made the Macular Society’s Awards for Excellence shortlist for the Optician or Optometrist of the Year category.

Jayshree Vasani, an ABDO practical examiner and sub-regional lead for London, was nominated for the award by Daniel Williams, founder of Visualise Training and Consultancy. She will find out if she has won within the next few weeks.

Vasani said: ‘Daniel did tell me he’d put my name forward to the Macular Society for one of its awards, but I didn’t really think anything of it. It was a nice surprise to find out I’d been shortlisted though; I’ve long been impressed with the way the Society engages with its members and the information and support it provides, so I’m very pleased to have been shortlisted.’
