Looking for stylish reading glasses? So are we, always. And that’s what takes us to Vision Expo East. This sprawling trade show is held every spring in the fashion enclave of the world, New York City. This is the place, the event, the venue where eye care and eye-health meet eyeglass fashion and design style.
You’ll find the most stylish readers in the world right here, but so much more than that! There is something of interest here for everyone from the fashion-oriented layperson to the seasoned eye care professional who has been in the industry for thirty plus years. There are over 300 hours of education opportunities that cover 23 specialties in the eye wear industry covering topics on everything from how to grow your optometry business to techniques on the latest in patient eye care.
For Fashion-Oriented Optometrists
If you are an optometrist specializing in designer eyewear there are over 5000 luxury brands representing everything from the highest in fashion with frames that cost thousands of dollars to lightweight reading glasses that are extremely affordable.
The Latest in Eyeglass Technology
If technology is your thing, one of those people who understand the details that make new concepts and processes unique, then you will love the lower floor where you get to see the latest advances in the industry from diagnostic equipment and contact lens solution to lens manufacturing machines and therapeutic techniques.
Still have energy after hours? There are networking events that branch off the showroom floor and into this marvelous city.
Plenty of Chances to Improve Your Knowledge
Back to the education, one of the most rewarding parts of the Expo! On the Business Track one that we are excited about is the “Future of Optometry” Keep your Business as Healthy as your Patients. Business owners can get so focused on taking care of their customer that they can let important operational details fall behind and in the end it is the patient who suffers. This is an opportunity to engage with a panel of highly respected optometrists on a discussion of important topics ranging from meeting the changing needs of the consumer and maintaining healthy relationships with the patient to emerging trends that we will see in the optical shop of the future and even online eyeglass shops! Or how about something so futuristic it could be out of Star Trek, the next thing in contacts is going to be a heads-up diplay, or in other words, a camera in the contact lens. These empowered contacts are offering a possibility of sight for the blind, how cool is that! These topics and more offer a fascinating look into upcoming technologies in the eye industry.
