In a completely different take on eyewear, Vision Monday partnered with International Vision Expo to produce the Eye² Zone, a dedicated showcase for new, non-traditional vision technologies exclusive to Vision Expo. Throughout the three-day Vision Expo West, held in Las Vegas Oct. 3 to 5, attendees flocked to the Zone to touch and feel the next generation of vision technology, including products that enhance vision or athletic performance, communicate or view media, measure and monitor biometric data and promote wellness.
