“Barry Santini was chosen for his high level of service to our profession and his patients for more than 20 years,” an announcement from the SAO said. To qualify for this honor, an optician must be a current member of the SAO in the year they are being considered, and must advance opticianry through the promotion of higher education and certification levels for opticians. Honorees must not be a current officer or board member of the SAO during the prior year they are being considered for this honor.
The SAO said, “Barry has demonstrated all the outstanding leadership qualities that an Ophthalmic Optician should have. He is an industry leader, an active member of NYSO and has written many articles for optical industry magazines. As a New York licensed optician in both eyewear and contacts, he is a respected master optician that owns his business, Long Island Opticians in Seaford, N.Y.”
Santini is a contributing editor to 20/20 magazine, Vision Monday’s sister publication.
