The 11th edition of Expo Ottica Sud, a key optical and optometric trade fair for Southern Italy and the Mediterranean, opens Saturday, October 10, 2026, at SiciliaFiera in Misterbianco, Catania. Organized by Eleventi, the event runs through Monday, October 12, attracting vision professionals from Sicily, Calabria, Malta, and across Italy. Exhibitor space is nearly sold out with over eighty direct companies participating; ninety percent of previous exhibitors returned, some expanding their stands. Organizers aim to exceed last year’s 1,800 visitors. The fair features online pre-registration and a digital exhibitor catalog. A new visual identity, “Anima Mediterranea,” developed with Ottica Italiana-Optoservice, highlights regional heritage. Operating hours vary daily, concluding at 15:00 on the final day.
