TOOA Joins WOF | Bangkok 2026 as Supporting Organization
From October 9 to 11, 2026, the ASEAN Int'l Optics Expo (WOF | Bangkok) will be held at the IMPACT Exhibition Center in Bangkok, Thailand. As the No.1 Optics Show in ASEAN, this edition is expected to feature an exhibition area of over 10,000 sqm, bringing together more than 200 exhibitors, and attracting over 6,000 visits. The Thai Opticians and Optometric Association (TOOA) has officially joined the 2026 ASEAN Int'l Optics Expo as a supporting organization. Together, both parties will work to foster industry advancement and deeper commercial collaboration across Thailand and the broader ASEAN optical market.
About the Thai Opticians and Optometric Association (TOOA)
The Thai Opticians and Optometric Association (TOOA) is the professional organization representing opticians, optometrists, and eyewear retailers across Thailand. The association is deeply committed to establishing technical standards for refraction and dispensing, working in close collaboration with government agencies and professional institutions to promote vocational certification and credentialing. Beyond standard-setting, TOOA provides its members with continuing education, technical exchanges, and business matching services, equipping them with the knowledge and connections they need to elevate both eye health and dispensing service standards across Thailand.
Serving as a bridge connecting Thailand's optical downstream market, TOOA maintains a highly engaged buyer network that spans independent optical shops and retail chains across all provinces of Thailand. The association actively facilitates the introduction of international brands, optical equipment, and lens technologies into the local market. It also provides endorsements, expert speakers, and promotional support for international exhibitions and academic conferences throughout the year, making it an indispensable partner for any organization seeking to expand into the Thai and broader ASEAN optical market.
Partnership Value
With the RCEP agreement continuing to lower trade barriers and the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0 upgrade steadily advancing, ASEAN has become a strategic priority for global eyewear brands. TOOA’s deep local expertise and extensive buyer network will serve as a gateway for WOF |Bangkok exhibitors to enter the Thai market. Through this partnership, both sides will collaborate on industry standards, technical knowledge sharing, and commercial matchmaking --- driving greater integration across the ASEAN optical supply chain.
On-Site Highlights
On the afternoon of October 10, TOOA will host an academic forum on the show floor. Expected to draw over 200 members of the association --- including independent shop owners, optometrists, and chain store representatives --- the forum will focus on the latest developments and key topics in optometry. This will offer exhibitors and visitors a valuable opportunity to gain insight into Thailand's optical market and its future direction.
The ASEAN Int'l Optics Expo (WOF|Bangkok) will take place from October 9-11, 2026, at the IMPACT Exhibition Center in Bangkok. We cordially invite optical professionals, manufacturers, and brands from around the world to join us in exploring the vast potential of the ASEAN optical market.
