Registration To Launch For 100% Optical And 100% Ophthalmology
Organizers have announced that free registration for 100% Optical, the UK’s largest optical exhibition, and its co-located event, 100% Ophthalmology, will be live in the first week of September.
Where eyecare meets eyewear, the award-winning event for the Optical and Ophthalmology industry is set to return to London’s Excel from 28th February to 2nd March 2026, with Nikon Lenswear UK and Alcon announced as platinum sponsors, and Albert I’mStein, Sightique Optical Supplies, Henau Eyewear, Mastery Coaching, and Canfly Marketing already confirmed as new exhibitors, with more to be announced soon.
In partnership with the Association of Optometrists (AOP), 100% Optical brings together over 250 well-known independent eyewear manufacturers and equipment brands and 11,000 professionals worldwide, from optometrists, dispensing opticians, distributors, and wholesalers.
Three jam-packed days of insight, fashion, innovation, and networking are in store for those who register with world-class seminars and CPD education programmes, nine trend-setting catwalk shows, key industry speakers, and a multitude of dedicated hubs and workshops. 100% Studio, sponsored by Nikon Lenswear UK, which is dedicated to championing independent eyewear brands, boutique practices, and retailers, will have a brand new feature. This year, TED Talk-style sessions will be available to inspire and advise business owners on how to forge a path to success in the independent sector.
New show features will include the largest elevated Central Bar yet, with more space to rest and reset as well as a new app that will be available on iOS and Android for delegates to download prior to their visit. An ideal tool to create a roadmap to plan and gain easy access to everything needed to make the most of the three-day event, the app will feature the show floorplan, seminar agenda, speaker line-up, and exhibitor and product listings, as well as the option to send direct meeting requests with exhibitors six weeks in advance.
Those attending 100% Optical for its free CPD programme can expect to see key themes including developments in glaucoma care, contemporary myopia management, and clinical negligence cases through a range of discussion workshops, peer reviews, and interactive Q&A sessions.
As 100% Ophthalmology saw a 66% increase in its key audience in 2025, ophthalmologists, consultants, clinical directors, and ophthalmic nurses can expect to see a fully dedicated seminar programme with keynote speakers and leading suppliers providing knowledge on the latest innovations.
Careful considerations and arrangements to accommodate delegates who will be observing Ramadan during their visit have been made. There are dedicated prayer rooms available at Excel London on the boulevard, accessible through a grey door next to the S9 entrance. For easier access, an additional prayer space located on the right-hand side of the hall will also be available. Delegates will have access to four water refill stations located by the East and West entrances, as well as by halls S4 and S7. The Central Bar will also have water and other refreshment options available for iftar, as well as several seating areas to relax and recharge.
Iftar meal vouchers for 2026 will also be available on request via the 100% Optical website directly with one voucher allocated per request. Delegates can make further requests and suggestions via the registration forms.
