International Vision Expo (District Showrooms)

About

While centered around a major annual trade show, the surrounding Midtown Manhattan district hosts permanent showrooms and wholesale offices for nearly all major North American and international optical companies, lens labs, and equipment suppliers for the professional trade.

For professionals in the optical industry, the International Vision Expo turns New York City into a global commerce hub. Beyond the main convention floor, the surrounding Midtown Manhattan district acts as a powerful wholesale market. Permanent showrooms and wholesale offices line the streets, hosting nearly every major North American and international optical company. Buyers and suppliers can access a vast array of optical glasses, lenses, and advanced lab equipment directly from these year-round sourcing hubs. This unique ecosystem lets trade visitors compare entire product lines, negotiate bulk orders, and inspect the latest lens technologies and diagnostic tools in a professional setting. The District Showrooms offer an unmatched opportunity to strengthen supplier relationships and discover new inventory for the coming seasons.
