On behalf of everyone at Eyefinity, we send our most sincere condolences to everyone who has experienced loss or been displaced. Know that we support you and that our hearts are filled with hope.

When my youngest daughter Annie was four years old, we were vacationing in Hawaii enjoying the beach and the quiet pace of life. One night as we were getting ready to go out for dinner, I asked Annie, “Where are your shoes?”  She innocently recalled that the last time she’d seen them was three or four days earlier. Isn’t that what vacation is all about? That moment has been an anchor for me for many years – a reminder to live in the now. It applies in my work life as well. Maybe you have a similar story.  Continue reading →

The Ultimate Field Guide to Vision Expo West

Posted on September 8, 2017 by mattcandau

Crowds, booths, classes, oh my! There’s a lot going on at Vision Expo West, so we’ve compiled some must-know tips for VEW first timers.

Las Vegas Sign

Don’t Go Hangry (hunger and anger aren’t a good combo in Vegas)
Head over to the Food Court no later than 11:30 a.m. By noon, you’re more likely to win the jackpot than avoid a massive line.

To avoid the afternoon crash, stop by Eyefinity booth #17114 at 2:00 p.m. every day for a free pick-me-up snack.

When You Gotta Go…
Use the restrooms in Medical & Scientific Pavilion. These hidden gems are the least-used restrooms on the show floor.

Layer Up
Bring a light sweater to have on the show floor. While the strip can feel like the Sahara, the Sands Expo and Convention Center is cold enough for a penguin to think he’s home.

Grab a Bag
Be prepared to receive a wheelbarrow’s worth of flyers, giveaways, and business cards. Don’t forget to pick up a free Premier bag when you first enter the show floor.

Take these tips with you to VEW and come by our booths #17114 or #MS12043!

My Vice President of Marketing quips that she sees herself as the connective tissue within the organization, citing that she needs to know a bit of everything to craft messages that fit like a glove. It’s a bit of crazy perspective, but when I think on it, she’s right. Continue reading →

Posted on September 5, 2017 by mattcandau

Pick your classes, pack your most comfortable shoes, make dinner reservations— Vision Expo West is just around the corner! Here are 4 things we bet you didn’t know about VEW.Las Vegas Sign

  1. VEW is so big that 5 football fields would fit inside the exhibit space.
  2. About 24% of attendees are optometrists (based off Vision Expo West 2016)
  3. VEW is truly international! Last year, almost 200 international exhibitors attended VEW, representing 16 countries.

Grit – Forward Together

The word “grit” has been on my mind a lot lately. I recently rode my fifth “Death Ride,” a 129-mile cycling event in the California Alps. The course covers five mountain passes and boasts 15,000 plus feet of lung-busting climbing. Don’t ask me why I do this. The adrenaline, perhaps? Or maybe that incredible feeling of pushing myself and accomplishing my goal. Continue reading →
