This 22nd edition of our Most Influential Women in Optical feature brings a class of leaders, changemakers and trailblazers who are as impressive and exciting as it gets. These are women who are continuing to shape the face of our industry from every angle; they are ECPs, executives, sales and marketing professionals, teachers and so much more. But above all, they are women who have had and continue to have profound impacts on the lives and careers of those around them. And they change our industry for the better while doing it.

This year, the Vision Monday editors selected 40 women who are honored in five distinct categories: Executive Suite, Rising Stars, Mentors, Innovators and Above & Beyond. Each of these 40 women have trailblazed their way onto this year’s list thanks to their motivation, impact and genuine care for this industry and the people who make it so special. Whether they’re just starting their career or have been an industry backbone for decades, the common thread between all of this year’s honorees is the exceptional and influential work they do.

In this special feature you will get to meet and hear from these Most Influential Women in Optical themselves, as well as the people who nominated them, and learn about their careers, inspirations, hopes for the future and more. As always, we invite you to join with us in celebrating these remarkable women, and hope you come away from this year’s feature both impressed and inspired.

Here’s to anther special year of honoring the women that make our industry so extraordinary—we continue to be so proud to bring this issue to you, our readers and the wider industry.
