Vision Expo 2026 concluded on March 14 in Orlando, marking the debut of its new unified format this year. Co organized by RX and The Vision Council, the show also highlighted its 40th anniversary through a range of special content presented throughout the event. Over the course of four days, the exhibition floor welcomed a high volume of visitors, offering attendees the opportunity to explore the latest products and trends set to shape the future of the optical industry. The event brought together more than 8,000 industry professionals from 92 countries and all 50 US states, reinforcing its position as a strong global meeting platform. A 17 percent increase in attendance across the education programme pointed to a growing demand for professional development within the sector. Commenting on the show, Ashley Mills said, “Vision Expo 2026 set a new standard for what this show can be and what this industry is capable of together. This year’s show saw the future of eyecare take shape in real time through groundbreaking technology, visionary design, and the kind of energizing conversations that only happen when the entire optical community is together under one roof. We left Orlando with real momentum, and The Vision Council is committed to carrying that forward for every segment of this industry throughout the year ahead.”
