Always at the forefront of ophthalmic lens technology
23rd MAFO – The Conference successfully concluded
On February 7, MAFO – The Conference once again brought together more than 90 ophthalmic lens experts and 15 speakers from all over the world. As usual, one day before Mido in Milan, representatives from lens manufacturers, the machine industry and lens development met and took advantage of the unique opportunity for an intensive exchange with industry experts.
The thematic highlights this year were autofocus spectacle lenses, cosmetic inspection, light-field displays for smart glasses and subjective refraction, myopia management lenses and much more. Another highlight and the conclusion of the exciting day was the panel discussion on the topic: “The optical lab in a smart world”.
Readers can find a comprehensive review of the event in the upcoming MAFO issue 02/2025.
MAFO – The Conference offers a unique opportunity in Europe to exchange ideas with like-minded people in the ophthalmic lens industry and to stay informed about all the latest trends and developments.
The next MAFO – The Conference will take place on January 30, 2026. As always, one day before Mido at the exhibition center in Milan.
We also like to thank all participants, speakers, panelists and our Chairman Peter Baumbach for their great contribution to shape the 23rd edition of this special event for the lens industry.
