Put your practice in the spotlight

The latest two categories in the Optician Awards come under the spotlight as we profile the contact lens and healthy sight categories with the help of our sponsors. Make sure you start working on your entry soon. Time is running out to get your entries in before the closing date of February 20

Johnson & Johnson Vision Care is pleased to continue its commitment to promoting excellence in contact lens practice by sponsoring the Optician Awards' Contact Lens Practice of the Year category.

Following the recent amendments to the Opticians Act, the acquisition and retention of patients has been perceived as a key challenge for contact lens practices in the past year.

The winner of this year's award will need to demonstrate that they have grown their contact lens patient base and maintained patient retention despite these changes, as well as clearly demonstrating what strategies they have adopted to achieve this and to continue practice growth in 2006.

Through the sponsorship of this award, Johnson & Johnson Vision Care continues to demonstrate its ongoing investment and dedication to support opticians and their practices following these changes.

If you feel that your practice meets these high standards, please do enter for this prestigious award. Entering is very straightforward and it need not take more than a few minutes.

You can download a one-page application form from Optician's website on www.opticianonline.net
Our panel of four judges will use the information on this form, plus any accompanying material, to assess each practice's clinical, commercial and strategic strengths.
