VISION AND VOICE What Did You Enjoy VEE Most About “There was a lot of energy at the Transitions Optical booth this year as we gave show attendees a tour of new Transitions® Viewer™.  It was exciting to hear some of the ideas eyecare professionals had for using the demo tool in their practice.” Cheri Guy, Professional Development Manager Transitions Optical  “I very much enjoyed this years Vision Expo. It was an excellent chance to meet up with my peers from around the world. I also got to view the latest technology both in machinery, lens designs and lens verification. Definitely the hardest working show of the year.” Paul Faibish, President Plastic Plus Limited “I think there is always an energy at VEE and an opportunity to showcase our technology and products from CooperVision. It’s a great event.” Michael McDougall, President McDougall Communications “VEE was particularly exciting this year and full of energy. The new Marcolin USA presented itself as its best ever! Our physical space was impressive, elegant, well-positioned and used perfect lighting. However, our ’presence’ was even bigger: many operators told us we were the ’talk of the show’. I was thrilled to present the combined company as one, and our sales results reflected the positive feelings of the accounts.”  Fabrizio Gamberini, President Marcolin USA “Vision Expo was exceptionally good to Modern Optical! Our booth was abuzz with activity all three days. Strong show attendance,  high market demand for value eyewear, and our new, larger booth all contributed to Modern having a record show.” Paula Weissman, Vice President, Marketing Modern Optical International “The New York Vision Expo was a very vibrant and busy show for Spectacle EYEworks Inc.; the launch of our new collections was enthusiastically received by attendees. I was also very proud of strong turnout of Canadians at Vision Expo East.” Mehran Baghaie, President Spectacle EYEworks 8 O P T I C A L P R I S M | M AY / J U N E 2 0 1 4 “We enjoyed the traffic….We had a constant flow of people through the booth this year.
