HOYA Vision Care joins INVISION MATCH! 2026 sponsor lineup

INVISION has added HOYA Vision Care to the sponsor roster for INVISION MATCH! 2026, the invite-only meeting event for independent optometry leaders and suppliers. The Las Vegas event is scheduled for Sept. 30-Oct. 2 and is built around pre-set one-on-one meetings and curated networking.

Why it matters: - INVISION MATCH! is designed to give independent optometry practice owners direct access to suppliers through scheduled business meetings instead of a crowded trade show floor. - The sponsor lineup signals continued industry interest in a relationship-first format aimed at decision-makers who are actively shopping for products, technologies and services. - HOYA Vision Care adds a major global lens and vision-care player to an event focused on practice growth and patient outcomes.

What happened: - INVISION announced that HOYA Vision Care has joined the sponsor roster for INVISION MATCH! 2026. - The event is scheduled for Sept. 30-Oct. 2, 2026, at The Palms Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. - INVISION MATCH! is an invite-only event built to connect optometry practice owners with industry suppliers through curated one-on-one meetings. - Optometry practice owners interested in attending as hosted delegates can apply for consideration at invisionmatch.com.

The details: - INVISION MATCH! will bring together more than 20 private practice optometry owners generating over $1 million in annual revenue. - Participating sponsors get guaranteed one-on-one meetings with verified decision-makers. - Supplier participation is limited by category to keep interactions relevant and focused. - The event also includes hosted networking breakfasts, cocktail receptions, private dinners and other curated experiences. - Previously announced sponsors include House of MODO, Cleinman, Marketing 4 ECPs, Cherry Optical Labs, L’AMY America, SkyLab Optical, Carrot, Rise Nano Optics and DAC Vision/National Optronics. - HOYA Vision Care provides ophthalmic lenses, technologies and services for eye care professionals.

Between the lines: - The sponsor growth suggests suppliers see value in meeting a smaller group of qualified buyers rather than marketing to a broad convention audience. - INVISION is positioning the event as a controlled environment where the quality of each conversation matters as much as attendance size. - Deirdre Carroll, INVISION's editor-in-chief, said companies are showing enthusiasm for helping independent practices thrive and described HOYA Vision Care as a partner with a reputation for innovation.

What's next: - INVISION is still assembling the sponsor community for the 2026 event. - Additional hosted delegates may be selected ahead of the September event. - The company will likely continue promoting the event’s meeting-first format as registrations and sponsorships fill out.

The bottom line: - HOYA Vision Care’s addition gives INVISION MATCH! 2026 another high-profile sponsor as INVISION builds out a tightly curated business event for independent optometry leaders.
