In what has become the most professional and prestigious award program on Long Island, SightMD has once again earned top honors in the 18th Annual Best of Long Island (BOLI) 2023.

For the past ten years SightMD has been named ‘Best LASIK Surgery Practice’ and ‘Best Ophthalmologist’. This year SightMD was also named ‘Best Ophthalmic Plastic Surgeon’ and ‘Best Cataract Surgeon’ two new titles created in 2023. SightMD has maintained the honor of being the most awarded ophthalmology practice in the 18-year history of the BOLI competition.

Since 2005, the Best of Long Island business awards program has been identifying the top resident voted businesses on Long Island. Sponsored by Bethpage Federal Credit Union, the contest reflects fourteen industry categories in which the individual awards are organized. There is an 8-month nomination period for Long Islanders to submit their favorite local businesses. Approximately fifteen nominees are selected to the ballot, and people may cast their votes daily during the voting period of October 1st through December 15th. The winners are announced early in the new year and recognized with the Best of Long Island logo, listed on the website and announced in the Winners Guide publication. The winners guide serves as a reliable, one-stop-source for local business recommendations, hand selected by patrons and residents across Long Island.
