Local independent opticians win Community Practice award

Hammond Opticians have been awarded Community Practice of the Year by the UK’s largest association representing independent opticians and optometrists.

Hammond Opticians was shortlisted amongst three optical practices chosen from throughout the UK to receive the accolade from business support group SightCare for their dedication to eyecare in their local community.

Hammond Opticians have been open for the eyecare needs of the local community at the same location on London Road for over 90 years, and have continued to uphold a high standard of care for all that visit their practice.

Practice owner and Optometrist Deven Lakhani said: “We are very proud and honoured to be recognised as the Community Practice of the Year (2022) by our professional bodies.

Our family run business has been looking after the eyecare needs for Enfield residents continuously since 1932 and winning this accolade from our peers gives us great satisfaction.

We plan to continue to provide the same level of excellent care and service to all our patients in Enfield for many years to come.”

SightCare said, “We invited independent practices from across the UK to enter our awards and were delighted with the exceptional level of our entrants. We carefully selected our shortlisted practices based on their outstanding achievements for their community and their dedication to their craft. We are exceptionally proud of how independent optical practices have worked to help with the optical needs of their community. They have shown not only great dedication to their small independent business, but to their local community. We are delighted to announce that Hammond Opticians won Community Practice of the Year after being impressed by the high quality of their application.”

Deven Lakhani said: “It is wonderful to be recognised by our peers for our hard work, and we thanks our patients for their continued loyalty and support.”
