#1 Pop-up stores in optics: Ephemeral Concepts, New Clientele
The article on pop-up stores is the one that has had the most success. This is hardly surprising given that the phenomenon is growing and represents new marketing opportunities for opticians . Pop-up stores, these temporary boutiques that appear in city centers and during cultural events, are gaining popularity in various sectors, including the optical sector. Offering an original and flexible presence, these spaces allow opticians to experiment with bold concepts, connect with new audiences and reinvent their image. In 2024, in a market where customer experience and innovation have become priorities, these ephemeral initiatives are establishing themselves as a strategic way to attract attention and stand out in a competitive environment.

#2 The vision of children in 2030: trends and public health challenges
Next comes a very worrying but oh so important public health issue , which is emerging as one of the greatest challenges for optics in the years to come . Will humanity be able to stem the rise of myopia? Children's visual health has become a central issue for global public health, particularly in the face of rapid changes in our lifestyle. The increase in time spent in front of screens, the decrease in exposure to natural light and inequalities in access to eye care pose major challenges to be addressed by 2030. However, concrete solutions exist to mitigate these negative impacts and protect the vision of younger generations. On the occasion of Myopia Week, which takes place from November 18 to 24, 2024, it is essential to examine these trends. By looking at screens, lighting, care and prevention, we can better understand the paths to follow to preserve the visual health of children in the years to come.
#3 FILE Vision and Sports Performance: A Winning Alliance?
The third step of the podium is won by our report on thealliance between vision and sports performance , at a time when many eyewear manufacturers are forming partnerships with major players in sport. Formula 1, sailing, tennis, skiing, cycling… there is no shortage of examples. Hence the importance of offering a sports range in store. With the rise of myopia, glasses are becoming a must-have in sport .
Visual acuity and perception of movement are key factors in the performance of athletes , directly influencing their reactivity, precision and ability to anticipate actions in high-speed environments. In many sports disciplines, the speed at which an athlete can process visual information impacts their results. Indeed, good vision allows for quick decision-making and better control of action, particularly in sports such as football, basketball, or cycling.
Partnerships between manufacturers and top athletes are increasingly common, aimed at using cutting-edge technologies to improve athletes' visual abilities. Equipment such as sports glasses specially designed for vision or high-performance lenses can correct visual defects and optimize the perception of rapid movements. For example, some glasses are equipped with filters that reduce glare or increase contrast, allowing athletes to better discern details in motion.
However, some sports also present visual risks. Repeated impacts, sun exposure or eye trauma can affect vision in the long term. To minimize these risks, athletes use specific equipment such as protective glasses, adapted lenses or eye treatments to prevent vision disorders related to sports activities.
Modern technologies in the field of visual equipment thus offer athletes a considerable advantage to improve their performance , while contributing to the preservation of their visual health.
