Local optometrist Dr. Pretty Basra shortlisted for “Optometrist of the Year” at National Optician Awards for the third time

It marks the third time that Dr. Basra has been recognised as one of the top five opticians in the country, underscoring her ongoing commitment to excellence in eye care and patient service.

With over 15 years  experience, Dr. Basra has become a trusted figure in the local community, known for her innovative approach to optometry and dedication to delivering the highest standards of personalised care. Her consultations are marked by empathy, attentiveness, and a focus on education, ensuring patients are fully involved in their eye care decisions. 

The National Optician Awards is one of the industry’s most distinguished events, celebrating outstanding achievements and contributions within the field of optometry. Being shortlisted for a third time highlights Dr. Basra’s continuous passion for her profession and her ongoing efforts to ensure her patients receive the very best in eye care.

Dr Pretty Basra said: “I’m incredibly honoured to be shortlisted again for such a prestigious award. I’m so passionate about optometry and making sure our patients get the best possible eye care, but I also want to bring something different to the patient experience - something that goes beyond what you generally tend to get from the usual high street chains.

It was for this reason that we underwent a practice refit at the start of the year, to create a warm, welcoming environment that patients enjoy coming to. I want patients to feel that personal level of service when they come to us, which is why this nomination also reflects the hard work and dedication of the entire team at Edwards & Walker, and our shared commitment to providing exceptional eye care to our patients.”

The winners of the National Optician Awards 2024 will be announced at a gala ceremony later this year.
