20/20 Europe, Jobson Optical Group Launch ‘Most Influential Women in Optical 2026’

NEWARK, N.J.—20/20 Europe and Jobson Optical Group, publisher of leading optical industry titles, including 20/20 and Vision Monday, are pleased to announce the launch of the “Most Influential Women in Optical” initiative for Europe. The selection process and event to honor the finalists will be driven by 20/20 Europe, published by Matilde Sometti in Italy. The Most Influential Women in Optical initiative in the U.S. was first launched by Vision Monday in 2003, with the aim of honoring women in optical who were making a difference. Each year, the U.S. honorees are selected by Vision Monday’s editors from optical industry nominations, and bring together a class of leaders, collaborators and trailblazers whose stories of success can inspire us all.
