Do You Know an Influential Woman in Optical? Nominations for VM’s Annual Special Report Close on December 8

NEWARK, N.J.—The nominations deadline for VM's Most Influential Women in Optical special report is fast approaching—the survey will be closing on December 8 at 11:59 p.m. Vision Monday will once again be presenting its annual class of The Most Influential Women in Optical, with planned coverage in the March 2026 issue serving as the 24th year of this signature report. While the special report has historically taken place in late summer, the publication of VM’s Most Influential Women in Optical is moving to March next year to align with Vision Expo. A salute to women in the eyewear/eyecare industry, the annual initiative recognizes women’s growing influence in optical, as they shape the direction of the companies and organizations they work for, and, in many cases, lead.
