In Focus: Post-event reflections

After successive exhibitions in London, New York, Milan and Munich, the optical profession has an opportunity to take a collective breather before thinking about going to Paris in September.

Covid-19 forced 100% Optical and Opti to move from their usual spots in January to later in the year, which created a congested calendar with Vision Expo East and Mido occurring at their normal times.

This meant exhibitors did not necessarily launch new products. Instead, they showcased eyewear, equipment, ophthalmic lenses and contact lenses that had already been released to the market. Albeit, displayed for the first time in-person at a major industry event.
