25 YEARS OF VISION

Editor's Message

There are some milestones that make you pause and reflect. For me, 25 years of VisionPlus is one of them.

What began as a publication became a front-row seat to the transformation of the optical industry. Through these years, I have had the privilege of meeting passionate entrepreneurs, visionary leaders, dedicated professionals and remarkable brands that continue to shape our industry.

Looking back, I feel immense gratitude for the trust, encouragement and friendships that VisionPlus has received over the years. This anniversary is not our achievement alone — it belongs to everyone who has believed in us, supported us and grown with us. Thank you for making VisionPlus a part of your journey. It has truly been an honour to be part of yours.

Hearty congratulations to VisionPlus on completing 25 incredible years! Everyone associated with VisionPlus deserves to pat themselves on the back for the way the organisation has grown by leaps and bounds over the years.

When you serve a company for many years, it gets into your bloodstream—you can never truly disconnect yourself from it. And that’s exactly how I feel about FourPlus. FourPlus blood is thicker than water! 🙂 Some of my most memorable experiences have been working on the VisionPlus Eyewear Awards and the introduction of the VisionPlus Expo in Dubai.

Here’s to 25 years of VisionPlus, and to many more milestones, successes and wonderful memories ahead!

At the beginning of my career, FourPlus Media gave me something more valuable than experience — they gave me their faith.

They saw potential in me when I had no experience in writing and gave me the opportunity to find my voice and build my career. I am where I am today because of them.

FourPlus has always been more than a workplace; they’ve been family, and I’ll always be their adopted child, no matter where life takes me!

Congratulations on 25 incredible years. I love you guys, and I’ll always be grateful for believing in me. ❤️

Congratulations, VisionPlus, on 25 incredible years! ❤️

When I joined FourPlus Media, it was my very first step into the corporate world. I came in with a love for writing, a lot of curiosity and, honestly, a lot to learn. What I didn’t know then was how much this place would shape me.

Over the past years, I’ve had mentors who believed in me and gave me the confidence to find my own voice. I’ve grown so much as a writer here, but I’ve also grown as a person.

VisionPlus has been a big part of that journey. Being part of a magazine that has spent 25 years telling stories and inspiring an industry is something I’m incredibly proud of.

Here’s to 25 years of VisionPlus…and to all the stories still waiting to be written.
