It was exciting to be present in very impactful ways with our inviting new open booth concept, educational offerings for ABO credit, industry sponsorships and two super successful customer events for Carrera and BOSS.

“Vision Expo is an essential in-person event for our company, and this year’s show was everything we had hoped for! The strong attendance and robust programming provided countless opportunities to forge new relationships and network with industry partners. Exhibiting our extensive line of value-oriented eyewear and providing live demos of our virtual try-on platform to hundreds of eyecare professionals over 3 days is highly impactful to our organization. The Vision Council meetings also provided excellent insight to our industry.”

Ken Weissman, President & CEO, Modern Optical International and OCHO Vision

“It’s been great. This is our official launch in the US and Canada market. We had high hopes and expectations and so far it’s been very good to see the energy of the people, the interest they have about the brand and what we bring to the table. And it’s been good to see the energy, the enthusiasm around sustainability and improving the way the industry is doing things toward the environment.”
