One of EssilorLuxottica’s largest New Zealand graduate cohorts recently met in Sydney for the company’s annual Graduate Eyelaunch Event, said Essilor’s country eyecare manager New Zealand, Oliver Munro.

He said 10 graduates travelled across from New Zealand to connect with Australian peers and EssilorLuxottica leaders, immersing themselves in three days of learning, collaboration and shared experiences.

“They have returned to practice with greater confidence, stronger clinical capability and a clear focus on elevating patient care,” Munro said.
