Vision Expo West
I just returned from Las Vegas yesterday and I am still recovering from the jet lag. After two days of OSI meetings following the show, we decided to take an extra day and visit the Grand Canyon (a trip worthy of another post). Aside from almost missing my flight home, not realizing I had booked the 12 AM red-eye instead of the noon flight back, it was a great trip. It is always great getting to meet with people face-to-face, which I do not get to do often enough.
Here are a few items of interest from the show:
Transitions VI is set to release early next year in all materials. While no details have yet been released about product improvements, rumors are that it will be faster clearing and 20% darker.
Vision-Ease licensed the Coppertone brand for its brown polarized product touted to protect against UV and HEV light now suspected of contributing to cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. The Coppertone product will be available October 15 in SFSV, D-28, and Illumina progressive in polycarbonate.
Drivewear will be available in FT-28 in December 2007 and in polycarbonate early next year.
