Think About Your Eyes, the vision industry’s public awareness campaign about the importance of scheduling an annual comprehensive eye exam, launched its 2019 advertising campaign this month. The 2019 plan includes TV, radio, online radio, online display ads, and paid search, all of which feature a call to action encouraging the public to schedule an annual eye exam.
The campaign is tailored to yield the highest level of awareness with ads slated to run on 24 cable stations that reach their target audience, including CNN, AMC and Fox Sports 1; local radio and syndicated radio shows like Ryan Seacrest and Delilah; as well as online video ads on popular lifestyle websites. Ads will also appear on Spotify and Pandora streaming radio services.
New in 2019, ads will appear on Acast, a podcast network of more than 3,000 podcasts reaching 33 million from prominent outlets like Yahoo Sports, Vice, The Economist, BBC, and Vogue.
The ads will feature the “Seeing is a Gift” creative messaging introduced in the summer of 2017. Research conducted on this messaging found that 7 in 10 respondents said they were likely or very likely to schedule an annual eye exam after viewing.
Canadians Danny and Gagan, 3rd year Optometry students at Technological University Dublin (Ireland) share their perspectives on the subtle and not-so-subtle differences in scope of practice and perceived professional role of Optometry in Ireland and the UK compared to North America in their new podcast “The Primary Eye Guys”.
The pair of Canucks, from Victoria, BC, and Toronto respectively, started their podcast in December 2018 with a view to share their story of pursuing optometric study outside of North America.
A lack of good information on optometry foreign study options outside of North America was a motivating factor to launch Primary Eye Guys podcast.
The “light and entertaining” series documents their journey to the Irish Optometry school from Canadian jobs in health care that included pharmacy and optometric assistant roles.
They hope to bring in guests to share learning form others on how optometric career paths evolve. Danny and Gagan’s aim is to repatriate down the road but they know that there will be some hoops to jump through to achieve their goals.

For its 6th edition, which was held from December 13 to 16, 2018, SILMO ISTANBUL demonstrated how it has quickly become an essential event on the horizon of trade fairs specializing in the optical and eyewear industry.
Pursuing continual growth since it was founded, SILMO ISTANBUL welcomed 150 companies and 647 brands throughout the 3 levels of the 17,000 m2 of Istanbul Expo CenterYeşilköy, and was attended by 10,784 visitors for an increase of 16% compared to 2017. There was a tremendous increase in international visitors: + 27.5%, or 1,627 professionals in attendance.

In particular, the MENA(Middle East and North Africa) zone addresses a market of nearly 350 million consumers with growing purchasing power.
