Competition for Optician Awards was particularly fierce this year with the Independent Practice of the Year Award, sponsored by Hoya, and the Optometrist of the Year Award, sponsored by BBGR, proving to be particularly popular with entrants. All of the categories drew a high standard of entries, making a place on the shortlist harder to come by than ever.
