OptiCon will be joining Vision Expo to bring opticianry and contact lens fitter education programs to attendees, beginning with Vision Expo East (Education: March 15–18; Exhibition: March 16–18) in 2018.
“As we head into our 10th year, OptiCon is incredibly proud to provide attendees with a program and experience that they continue to value,” said Jim Morris, ABO&NCLE Executive Director. “Through OptiCon’s partnership with Vision Expo, attendees will find the personalized program that they have come to expect, along with expanded educational and networking opportunities, all just steps from the industry’s most expansive show floor. The most comprehensive options for learning and sourcing will be available to OptiCon attendees twice a year at Vision Expos East and West.”
The partnership will provide an education program “curated by opticians for opticians”, as well as OptiCon Hub, a show floor area which will feature pop-up talks, a networking space and social events. Over 75 hours of OptiCon educational content will be provided in four key areas: spectacle, contact lenses, business and exam review.
“We have always believed that the quality of our show is only as good as the education that we can bring to the eyecare providers who drive the profession forward, and we continue to raise the bar by expanding our offerings with OptiCon content,” said Melissa Ashley, Reed Exhibitions Senior Vice President. “The opticianry community is a vital part of the overall eye health industry, and by combining our resources we can ensure that opticians and contact lens fitters receive the highest quality, most diverse and most affordable education programming available.”
Think About Your Eyes celebrates World Sight Day on Thursday, October 12, with a consumer campaign across social media, national and local traditional media, and in-person events in select regional markets.
The campaign’s media outreach is centered around the results of a consumer survey, conducted by Think About Your Eyes in early September, on the importance of vision in everyday life and the steps taken to protect vision health. The results will be shared with national health and lifestyle media, and can be found at www.thinkaboutyoureyes.com/surveyreport.
Throughout October, paid content syndication on target health and lifestyle websites will drive consumers to ThinkAboutYourEyes.com to learn more about vision health and find an eye doctor.
Additionally, on October 12, brand ambassadors will host live photo opportunities in each of the five markets encouraging visitors to enjoy the sights that their vision allow them to experience and to post a photo from the scene with the hashtag #ThinkAboutYourEyes. Ambassadors will also distribute information on annual eye exams and the importance of vision health.
Think About Your Eyes will also utilize local optometrists in these cities for media opportunities on World Sight Day.
To join in the World Sight Day activities, follow along on Instagram using the hashtag #ThinkAboutYourEyes. To learn more about Think About Your Eyes and to join the campaign as a supporting company, contact Jon Torrey at jtorrey@thinkaboutyoureyes.com.
