In this very special edition of The Right Optics by Silmo, Nick speaks to all five finalists in this years International Optician of the Year Award, brought to you by the International Opticians Association and Silmo Paris. They are joined by Elaine Grisdale, Head of International Development at the IOA, and Grant Hannaford, last year’s winner.

This unique round table discussion touches on all the key issues facing opticians. Current and future challenges, how opticians can make the difference, how to attract young talent to the industry, how to validate the role of the optician, how to educate the public, how to harmonise education across the world, and how to bring opticians together to support and validate their peers.

All the guests have great stories to tell and they are all incredibly proud and passionate opticians.

This episode is a must listen for any optician, no matter where in the world you are.

The winner of this year’s IOOTY will be announced at Silmo Paris at the end of September.
