NEW YORK—2018 marks the 16th year of Vision Monday’s special signature report featuring the Most Influential Women in Optical and the latest honorees, #Visionaries are revealed today on VisionMonday.com. VM’s Most Influential Women in Optical report is, first and foremost, our annual celebration of the immeasurable impact that women have on all levels of our industry. Just look around and you’ll find women of all ages and backgrounds who use their knowledge and skills to build and lead optical businesses and eyecare practices while enriching the lives of their customers, patients, students and colleagues.

These are the types of women, including entrepreneurs, clinicians, executives, managers and mentors, whom we honor each year for their vast and varied contributions. They’re smart, creative, hardworking and caring, and they inspire us to be better at what we do. We’ve profiled more than 640 of them since we began compiling this report in 2003.

This year’s Most Influential Women are an impressive group. They are organized within four categories: Executive Suite, Rising Stars, Mentors and Innovators. We hope you enjoy reading their profiles and getting to know them.
