Vision Expo is the leading trade fair for the optical and eyewear industry in the United States, held annually. The 2026 edition took place in Orlando, marking the show's 40th anniversary and its first year as a single annual event (previously held twice per year on the East and West Coasts).
The event features two main components: the Exhibit Hall, which brings together over 350 exhibitors showcasing the latest eyewear designs, lens technologies, diagnostic equipment, and retail solutions; and the Education Program, offering more than 220 hours of accredited courses covering optometry, practice management, and business operations.
Vision Expo attracts over 8,000 professional attendees from 92 countries, including optometrists, ophthalmologists, eyewear retailers, brand buyers, and industry designers. It serves not only as a product showcase but also as a central hub for trend forecasting, knowledge exchange, and business networking in the optical industry.
