OLA Names 2008 Awards of Excellence Winners

The Optical Laboratories Association (OLA) has named the winners of the OLA 2008 Awards of Excellence at its conference in Nashville on November 8.

The OLA also honored Gordon Keane, president of Digital Vision, Inc. (DVI) by presenting him with its 2008 Directors’ Choice Award at its President’s Banquet and Awards ceremony. Keane founded DVI in 1983 to specialize in automating optical laboratories. He had spent several years working with George Weber, Tom Mitchoff, and the Sericko family at Columbian Bifocal, developing and then managing the first widely used ophthalmic manufacturing and business software.
