On 13 July 2026, the “Optometria@UniMiB25+” workshop, organised by the University of Milano-Bicocca and the Società Italiana di Fisica, took place at Villa Monastero in Varenna (LC). The workshop, organised to mark the 25th anniversary of the Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Optics and Optometry, brought together around 40 people, including industry professionals and university staff. The aim of gathering the needs, expectations and visions of the main stakeholders in the optics and optometry sector regarding the evolution of optometry training and the profession was fully achieved thanks to an open discussion on key topics, such as the emerging skills, the role of technology and digitalisation, and communication.
