During the 16th annual Transitions Academy, attendees were immersed in a 360° experience – uncovering new trends, new products and new tools to help them grow their businesses in 2012.

But any of the attendees will tell you that the true magic does not happen during Transitions Academy. It’s experienced throughout the year as they achieve strong results by incorporating these new products and programs into their everyday business strategies.

During Transitions Academy, Transitions Optical recognized 24 loyal partners who did just that – and announced the winners of the 21st annual Transitions Lab of the Year, the 2nd annual National and Regional Retailers of the Year, the 2nd annual Vision Benefits Broker of the Year, and first-ever Eyecare Practice of the Year awards. This issue is dedicated to sharing their stories and strategies for success.

Congratulations to all the winners and finalists, and thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to promoting eye health and the Transitions family of products.
