The ophthalmic retail sector starts the year with concentrated product updates and ordering opportunities. Interlook 2026 arrives in Dortmund as a focused trade fair for eyewear collections, diagnostic devices and retail solutions.
Practical details and venue
Interlook 2026 runs from 10 to 11 January 2026 at Messe Dortmund, Hall 8, West Entrance. The two-day format concentrates exhibitors and buyers in a layout designed for fast commercial decisions and direct product evaluation.
Exhibitor profile and product focus
Exhibitors present frames and accessories, lenses and visual diagnostic systems. The New Products & Top Models area highlights current collections and launches.

Program highlights and on-site areas
The INTERLOOK ARENA hosts short expert talks aimed at trends and merchandising. The LOUNGE provides a quiet meeting area with catering for business conversations. These program elements combine exhibition with targeted input for purchasing and assortment planning.
B2B outreach and commercial tactics
Segment your targets. Use the exhibitor directory to select brands by category: premium and volume frames, lens technologies, and diagnostic suppliers. Prioritize by impact on your assortment.
Book meetings in advance. Group appointments by product type to maximize time within the hall. Bring concise visual materials and order templates to speed up purchase decisions on site.
Request demos and trials. For diagnostic equipment allocate time for hands-on demonstrations. For eyewear focus on sample availability and delivery terms.
Prepare commercial packs. Buyers respond to clear pricing, lead times and merchandising support. Offer introductory packages and follow-up plans that simplify onboarding for stores and clinics.
Practical pointers for buyers and exhibitors
Buyers should set category budgets and a shortlist of must-see collections. Exhibitors should provide compact catalogs, clear ordering conditions and defined next steps for post-show follow up.
