Sightsavers to exhibit at one of Europe’s largest optical events

February 2026

Sightsavers is exhibiting at 100% Optical for the third year running to showcase its eye health work and meet professionals in the sector.

This year, the annual event takes place at Excel London from 28 February to 2 March. 100% Optical is the UK’s leading event for optical professionals, with more than 30,000 visitors expected to attend.

Attendees can visit Sightsavers’ stand at H4 to learn about its eye health projects, activities and advocacy in Africa and Asia, and find out how they can get involved as a corporate or eye health partner.

Visitors will also be invited to enter a competition to win a gift basket from Sightsavers’ corporate partner L’Occitane by guessing how many plastic toy eyes are in a jar. The correct number will relate to an aspect of Sightsavers’ work, such as the number of cataract operations performed in one week.

The free event runs from 9am-6pm on 28 February and 1 March and 9am-5pm on 2 March. You can register to attend on the 100% Optical website.
