About opti:
opti is the international trade show for optics & design, which takes place annually in Munich in January to kick off the industry. The trade show and networking event offers trade visitors the complete ophthalmic spectrum from spectacle frames, lenses, contact lenses, refraction, diagnostics and low vision to shop fitting and technical equipment. The early timing in the trade show year makes opti the ideal place for product premieres by international market leaders and start-ups alike. The trade show has been organised by GHM Gesellschaft für Handwerksmessen mbH since 2008; it was first held in 1998.
