The conference’s co-chairman Mark Dunbar had this to say about the expo and conference:
“Topics are carefully picked and cultivated to address the interests of the entire eyecare community. As a result, Vision Expo education is always forward-focused and provides the most complete and most robust curriculum available.”
The expo isn’t just home to educational resources dealing with eye-care, the exhibition parts of the expo also deal with medical advancements, fashionable eyewear, and the latest in technology on display.
