Three female solopreneurs win top honors in 2020’s America’s Finest Optical Retailers competition.

This year was supposed to be the “Year of Vision.” Instead it became the year of a pandemic, record rates of unemployment, civil and social unrest, fear, uncertainty, political contention … and murder hornets. It would be easy to throw in the towel, write this year off and just call it a day. But that would be an injustice to the hardworking ECPs who — despite a year rife with challenges — rose above the fray to enter our annual contest honoring exceptional eyecare businesses, and to these three female ECPs doing it all their own way. Passionate, creative and nimble, our top three place winners have proven nothing can keep a good woman down.
