Nominated Macular Society  Optometrist of the Year 2013 & 2015

Andy Molsom of Molsom and Associates, has been nominated for the Optometrist of the year award as part of the Macular Society's Awards for Excellence.

The nomination recognises his exceptionally good practise in the care of people with macular degeneration.

Andy Molsom who was also nominated for the award in 2013, said "I am very proud to have been nominated again for this award. It is a great honour that a patient has thought my care is worthy for this Award of Excellence."

Cathy Yelf, Chief Executive of the Macular Society, said " it is clear from his nomination that Mr Molsom works hard to improve the lives of people affected by macular degeneration, with his excellence in advice and information. We are extremely grateful for his efforts in Spalding."

Age related macular degeneration affects the central vision and is the most common cause of sight loss in the UK. More people are affected as our population ages.

Kathleen Anna Pell, who nominated Mr Molsom for the award, said "By making sure I had regular examinations on my eyes Mr Molsom quickly noticed the change in my right eye that dry macular had changed to wet macular and arranged treatment without delay." "Mr Molsom is well known in this area as a competent and caring optometrist and I recommended him for this award."

" By investing in the very latest technology, we are able to deliver an exceptional service for our patients. The latest 3D OCT retinal digital scanner helps us to find those patients who are at risk of sight problems, especially wet AMD, at such an early stage that treatment can make a real difference to retaining good eyesight and with it independence for our patients" commented Andy Molsom.

The Macular Society is the National charity for anyone affected by central vision loss. We provide free information and support to improve lives today and we fund research so that one day we can overcome macular disease.
