eyeclarity won both the prestigious eftpos 2012 Victorian Independent Retailer of the Year Award and the eftpos 2012 Independent Retailer of the Year Award, with the judges saying the company “punches well above its weight”.
Mr. Papas said the award sends an important message to independent optometrists that it is “possible to survive and even thrive in the challenging economic conditions we’re operating in”.
“It’s also possible to compete alongside the big corporates. You just need to be lateral in your thinking and creative,” he said.
