Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre
The Hong Kong Optical Fair 2026 returns to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 4 to 6 November 2026, bringing together the international optical industry for one of Asia’s most important eyewear and vision care trade events.
Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKtdc), the fair has long been a key meeting point for eyewear brands, manufacturers, distributors, opticians, optical retailers, designers and suppliers looking to connect with the Asian market and the wider global optical community.
The Hong Kong Optical Fair 2026 offers a broad overview of the optical industry, from finished eyewear collections and sunglasses to lenses, contact lenses, diagnostic equipment, shopfitting, accessories, packaging and manufacturing technology.
For optical professionals, the fair is a practical sourcing platform with a strong international focus. Visitors can discover new collections, meet suppliers, compare production solutions and explore trends shaping the eyewear and vision care market in Asia and beyond.
"Under the theme "Eyeing the Future", this year's fair welcomes some 700 exhibitors from 11 countries and regions, including group pavilions representing Italy, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Visionaries of Style (VOS), as well as the Hong Kong Optical Manufacturers Association (HKOMA)"
Hong Kong has a long-standing position as a gateway between Asian manufacturing, international design and global distribution. This gives the HK International Optical Fair a distinctive role within the trade show calendar.
The event is especially relevant for optical retailers and buyers looking for a wider view of the market. Alongside eyewear brands and frame manufacturers, the fair also highlights smart optical products, lens technology, optometric instruments, retail solutions and other innovations that support modern optical businesses.
