NEW YORK—The Optical Metaverse (TOM), a virtual event series produced by My Vision Show, has announced its newest format for the upcoming Showcase and Fashion Show, which will be held July 7-9. Organizers said, "This inclusive and visionary format will take visitors on an exhilarating journey inside The Omniverse City, in partnership with Airmeet, The Omniverse City's cutting-edge Web 2.5 collaborator. This extraordinary showcase will captivate both industry professionals and the public, revolutionizing the connection between eyecare professionals and patients like never before."

Breaking free from traditional boundaries, TOM introduces "a groundbreaking feature that provides ECPs exclusive access to token-gated areas. Here, they can delve into the realm of new products and directly place orders with wholesalers, empowering them with the latest innovations.

"Returning by popular demand is a fun and interactive learning area where all participants who are interested in emerging eyecare and technology trends can learn about their vision and how to take action. Visitors can choose from 'traditional video format' and full metaverse exploring."

In addition, TOM will welcome non-industry attendees, providing a unique opportunity for eyecare professionals to connect with fresh audiences and share crucial eyecare information that is typically hard to find. "The groundbreaking approach of a show that crosses industries is a unique opportunity for ECPs to connect with new audiences," organizers said.

Registration is open for the public and all eyecare and optical industry professionals with free admission until June 1 and $49 dollars thereafter. Attendees are invited to participate in one or all of the event’s enticing experience tracks, which include:
