Social Media Buzz

The optical community has made extensive use of social media to raise awareness and attendance. The hashtag #VisionExpo and the event’s official Twitter account generated 31 million impressions, 15% more than last year’s. The upcoming Vision Expo West this September is expected to generate similar numbers.

This year marked the debut of the EYE2EYE series, in which participants discuss topics that inform, empower and challenge attendees. The inaugural edition featured award-winning artist, actor and film producer Common, who shared his inspiring experiences and passion for creativity. The founders of apparel company FUBU discussed the launch of their eyeglasses line FUBU Legends Eyewear, as well as the rise and success of their unique brand.
