This year, Vision Expo West turns 30. That means that for 30 years, Vision Expo West has been bringing the industry together. From the California coast to fabulous Las Vegas, Vision Expo West has made the West Coast the place to be for the optical community every September. That much hasn’t changed.

In a lot of ways, some things have changed for the better—after all, we have social media, DVR, compact cell phones, and e-readers to help communicate now—but it’s always fun to take a look back at what the old days were like.
