Spring graduation for DOs and CLOs

Graduands receive a ceremonial handshake to mark the start of their careers

Student dispensing opticians and contact lens opticians celebrated their graduation at Canterbury Cathedral on April 4 with the Association of British Dispensing Opticians (ABDO).

President of ABDO, Jo Holmes, gave a ceremonial handshake to the graduates who became qualified optical professionals. Holmes and Ian Davies, master of the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers, spoke at the event.

Holmes said: ‘A spring graduation is unusual for ABDO, which made it extra special at Canterbury Cathedral this year. The new beginning of the season mirrors the new beginnings of our graduands’ careers. This cohort has shown how committed they are by studying through a pandemic, with all the extra pressures of this within their workplace environments.’
