This drives everything we do, and we’re thrilled to be exhibiting at the event as gold sponsors this year, bringing together our portfolio of products and services under one roof.
“We believe offering wearable technology to patients will be a gamechanger for optical practices in 2026. Our wearables blend style, functionality, and health benefits and are designed to be so versatile that one day they may even replace traditional connected devices. This will therefore be a major focus for us, and we invite eye care professionals to join us on this exciting journey as we expand distribution and welcome new partners.

Education at the show
A big focus area during the show is education and Leonardo, EssilorLuxottica's online learning platform, is delighted to be sponsoring this year’s 100% Optical Academy and delivering two CPD sessions.
· ‘Clear vision, clear choices - managing digital eye strain and presbyopia’ lecture with discussion workshop, Optical Academy - Saturday 28th Feb at 2pm
Join this session to build confidence in managing digital eye strain and presbyopia in everyday practice. The session will explore the clinical value of prescribing low adds for patients experiencing digital visual fatigue and emerging presbyopia, as well as the benefits of personalised varifocals for presbyopes at any stage. Through group discussions using case examples, this session will illustrate how tailored recommendations can improve comfort and reduce non-tolerance.
· ‘Dinner Party Dispensing’ Peer Review, Dispensing Workshop – Sunday, 1st March at 10:30am
This session will centre on making the best dispensing recommendations through engaging, scenario-based discussions featuring well-known characters. Learners will assess each character’s needs and propose suitable products or treatments, sharpening their clinical reasoning and communication skills. Midway through each case, the facilitator introduces a “dispensing curveball "a new twist that alters the patient’s context, challenging learners to rethink and adapt their recommendations in real time.
Two non-CPD sessions will also be delivered on the OSA stand:
· Smart Eyewear: Where Vision Meets Intelligence - Saturday 28th Feb at 3.30pm
· Better Together: Optics and Acoustics - Sunday 1st March at 2pm
