MAFO – Ophthalmic Labs & Industry is one of the leading independent trade journals for producers, managers, and distributors in ophthalmic optics worldwide. Published in English, MAFO focuses on the interests of the manufacturing side of ophthalmic labs and the industry, as well as importers, exporters, and the vertical distribution of major optical chains. Our mission is to deliver a well-balanced mix of insightful articles and practical information for decision-makers in ophthalmic labs and the optical industry.
What makes MAFO unique?
A special highlight is our Technology section, featuring in-depth articles on cutting-edge topics such as new machinery processes, lens designs, coatings, disruptive technologies, myopia management, smart glasses, and other hot trends shaping the industry. Each issue also includes one or two comprehensive market surveys covering machines for all relevant lab processes.
Through MAFO – Live on Site, our editorial team visits international eyewear shows, optical companies, labs, and start-ups to provide exclusive trade fair reports and behind-the-scenes insights.
In addition, every issue offers business, marketing, and lab management strategies to help leaders drive success. Readers also benefit from industry news, product innovations, interviews, and much more – keeping them fully up-to-date.
To underline our expertise, MAFO organizes the annual MAFO – The Conference in Milan, held the day before Mido. Renowned international experts in the design, development, and production processes of ophthalmic lenses and smart glasses deliver high-level technical presentations, which are later published in MAFO throughout the year.
