Awarded as part of the ABDO graduation ceremony, she received the prize for gaining the highest marks in the UK for a student in ABDO’s final qualifying examination.

FMO chairman Barry Dibble said: ‘Our focus at The FMO is always to encourage the highest standards in optics and Sabrina’s superb grades in her final examinations suggest that many of her patients in York will be receiving the very best of vision. As a new graduate Sabrina is well placed to make the very best use of the most advanced dispensing aids, spectacle lenses and well fitting, fashionable, frames – exactly what our FMO members strive to encourage.’
