A celebration was held to honor Deven Lakhani’s 25-year milestone with the practice, as shown in a photo collage displayed in Hammond Opticians’ window. Located on London Road, Hammond Opticians has been a part of the Enfield community since 1932. Mr. Lakhani is the third owner, succeeding the founder Mr. Hammond and his son David Hammond. He became a qualified optometrist in 1991 and has primarily worked in independent practices, gaining expertise in areas such as myopia management, contact lenses, diabetes, and glaucoma. Under his guidance, Hammond Opticians has become known for its clinical excellence and has received several accolades. In the last two years, the practice has won five awards, including Independent Opticians of the Year from the London Prestige Awards.

To commemorate this significant achievement, Hammond Opticians organized a two-day event on October 3 and 4. The celebration welcomed patients and community members, and a raffle was conducted to support the Enfield Food Bank.
