With less than a week to go until professionals from around the globe gather in London for 100% Optical, organisers have named their top ten recommended things to see and do.
The latest in optical fashion and design, cutting edge equipment, education and networking opportunities, are just some of the highlights of the show from February 25 to 27.
Education programme
Organised in association with the Association of Optometrists (AOP), this includes 140 CPD sessions across eleven different hubs. Key topics include myopia management, advances in clinical imaging, including the role of artificial intelligence, and dry eye disease. Top tip: 40% of session availability is being held back for people turning up at the session on the day.

Our visitor numbers, a top-notch confirmed exhibitor line-up, more networking space and opportunity than ever before, and a new approach to our CPD session bookings following important visitor feedback means that the 2023 show is shaping up to be the busiest and best one yet.
