Our People

Panos

Our owner Panos has been a practising optometrist since 1999. During his 12-year tenure as Chairman of the Kensington, Chelsea, Westminster, Hammersmith, and Fulham Local Optical Committee, he established and expanded a chain of optometrist-owned optical franchises to 15 outlets. After exiting the master franchise, he transitioned to independent optometry practice and opened Cult Vision in 2017. Additionally, Panos co-owns an eyewear distribution business specialising in high-quality, design-led independent brands.

“I love working in practice, testing eyes, and having a laugh with patients. The business side is both creative and fun for me. I chose to study optometry and visual science because I was interested in science, art, film, and photography. Medicine felt too heavy, and media studies too light. I wanted a profession that engaged me, provided real job training, and allowed me to pursue my creative and business interests. In life, there are always things to enjoy and challenges to overcome. I avoid worrying and focus on adapting to change.”
