New role at Positive Impact

Tony Hodgson

Positive Impact (PI) has appointed Tony Hodgson as its new diagnostic equipment manager.

Tony brings over 25 years of specialist experience in the contact lens and diagnostic sector, having supported thousands of practitioners with topographers and orthokeratology (ortho-k) contact lens fittings throughout his extensive career with No7 Contact Lenses and, later, CooperVision Specialist Division.

“As our myopia control portfolio has grown to become one of the most comprehensive in the UK, we are thrilled to welcome someone of Tony’s calibre,” said Phil Thompson, PI professional services director.

“His expertise will support our customers in making the most of our diagnostic solutions, from advanced topographers, ortho-k, to next-generation dry eye software.”

Tony commented: “Alexa OrthoK is a truly impressive lens design. I now fully understand why so many eyecare professionals are impressed by how well it fits those highly demanding, yet rarely successful, very high minus prescriptions. It’s going to be exciting to be working with such advanced technology that delivers such consistent results in these challenging cases.”

Tony will be on hand at this weekend’s Independents Day and Specialist Club meetings at the National Convention Centre, Coventry, to showcase the CSI Dry Eye platform.
