VisionPlus India

received landmark acceptance within the industry, reaffirming its role as more than a chronicler, a brand that honours and preserves legacies for generations to come. PHILOSOPHY AND INDUSTRY IMPACT At its core, VisionPlus stands for three guiding principles: to inform, to inspire and to empower. Every issue, event and initiative reflects this philosophy. Through consistent dedication to quality, ethics and engagement, VisionPlus has become a trusted thought leader in the global optical community. 25 YEARS OF VISION, GROWTH AND COMMUNITY As VisionPlus enters its Silver Jubilee year, it stands as a living testament to belief, creativity and resilience. Reflecting on this journey, Siraj Bolar credits the magazine’s enduring success to his passionate team and the unwavering trust of the optical fraternity. “Our readers and partners have been the heart of VisionPlus. Every milestone we’ve achieved is because of their trust, encouragement and shared vision,” he shares. As VisionPlus steps into its next chapter, it remains rooted in the pioneering spirit that sparked its creation; a vision that continues to inspire. VisionPlus quickly became a respected voice in the region. Inspired by this success, the Indian edition was soon rebranded from OpticPlus to VisionPlus, uniting both markets under one powerful identity and expanding the brand’s global reach. THE VISIONPLUS ECOSYSTEM Over time, VisionPlus grew into a holistic ecosystem that champions every aspect of the optical industry. What began as a magazine evolved into a global brand dedicated to education, recognition and community building. • VP Awards: Celebrating excellence in eyewear design and innovation, the VP Awards are among the industry’s most prestigious honours. • VP Academy: A learning and development initiative offering workshops, seminars and knowledge- sharing sessions for eye care professionals. • VisionPlus Premier League (VPL): A unique, community-building event that fosters camaraderie and connection through friendly competition. • VisionPlus EXPO: A premier international exhibition that showcases global eyewear trends, technology and business opportunities. Together, these initiatives embody the essence of VisionPlus, a brand built to inform, unite and innovate the industry. VISIONARIES — A LANDMARK TRIBUTE In 2014, VisionPlus reached another milestone with the release of Visionaries, a coffee table book celebrating the trailblazers of the optical industry.
