October marks Black History Month. This year, the theme is ‘Standing Firm in Power and Pride’ - a tribute to the resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment to progress that defines the Black community around the world.
Throughout history, pioneering discoveries have shaped how we see the world, both figuratively and literally. One inspiring example is Dr. Patricia Bath, the first Black woman to receive a medical patent. Her invention of the laserphaco device, used in cataract surgery has restored sight to millions worldwide, revolutionising ophthalmology and transforming lives through vision.
This month, Optegra honour the leaders, innovators, and pioneers whose vision continues to inspire empowerment, unity, and growth for generations to come.
