Contact lenses in focus

​100% Optical highlighted CLs to reflect the strong growth in the sector

100% Optical (February 25-27) has chosen to focus on contact lenses to reflect the strong growth of the sector.

Confirmed exhibitors among the 200 at the tradeshow included CooperVision, Johnson & Johnson Vision (J&J), Bausch + Lomb and Safilens.

100% Optical show director Nathan Garnett said: ‘The increased presence of contact lens manufacturers at 100% Optical in 2023 reflects not only the growth of this sector, but also feedback from visitors, who are eager to improve their knowledge and offering in this area.’

Christina Olner, head of professional affairs at CooperVision UK & Ireland, added: ‘We’re delivering 13 hours of CPD workshops and lectures across all three days, covering myopia management, presbyopia and a fresh approach to the contact lens patient journey.’

J&J Vision will also hold a main stage lecture on Saturday, six CPD sessions on the AOP stand across Saturday and Sunday and an interactive poster trail on stand every day.
