At SightCare Live last month, we were delighted to give the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust (CHECT) a platform to raise awareness of retinoblastoma — a rare eye cancer affecting children.

Every delegate left with leaflets and posters to share in their practices, because eye care professionals are uniquely placed to spot the early signs. Funds were also raised at our SightCare Awards night, enabling them to carry on their mission of offering support, funding research and raising awareness.

Delegates were shown an awareness video and provided with a pack of awareness leaflets and posters

Three weeks on from SightCare LIVE 2026 and it is great to still see the buzz with photos and videos shared across social media.

Delegates deep in conversation, exhibitors connecting with independent practices, hands-on workshop sessions, and a black-tie awards evening celebrating the very best in independent optics. Two days at Edgbaston Stadium that genuinely delivered.

Three weeks later, those ideas are still being put into practice. We would love to hear what you have already put into practice in the comments!
