Inventions that drastically alter the way we live and work are being developed and embraced at an increasingly rapid rate…and the vision care industry is no exception. Industry professionals at the top of their game need to be aware of all the technological break- throughs coming down the pike, or risk being left in the dust when the industry evolves beyond them. To this end we invite you to attend The Future in Focus, a one-day event at Vision Expo West in Las Vegas, featuring fve new vision care inven- tions presented by the entrepreneurs who made them possible. Taking place on Tuesday, Sep- tember 15, 2015 at the luxurious Venetian Hotel, The Future in Focus will offer a glimpse of what's around the bend for the eyecare industry, such as a new delivery system to offer eye exams using a smartphone, a non-optical corneal implant that provides clear near vision for presbyopes, and an LCD screen that can be programmed to accommo- date vision correction without glasses or contacts. The day will also include Q&A; sessions with the pre- senters, a luncheon keynote speaker, a panel dis- cussion on disruptive technologies that will change the optical landscape, and an evening mixer perfect for networking with the presenters.
