opti 2022 picked up on the trend topic of sustainability - whether in terms of an overall business commitment or product-related.

For example, the optics industry is increasingly paying attention to:

• its CO2 footprint
• short distance logistics for raw materials and precursor products
• Regional production using plant-based or recycled materials

Glasses made by 3D printing have become state of the art, which makes big storage areas largely unnecessary and is waste-free.

Two related webinars from the opti FORUM XT have been well received and provided valuable impulses.

In these times of intensive use of mobile phones and other digital devices the trend topicmyopia management is increasingly gaining in importance. opti 2022 presented:

• Spectacle lenses that not only help to control myopia, but even slow down progressive short-sightedness
• multifocal daily disposable contact lenses
• orthokeratology night lenses, to reshape the cornea during sleep, enabling clear vision during daytime without visual aids

Artificial intelligence is also becoming more and more incorporated into optics:
