🔐 Optometry Escape Room Challenge at EAOO 2026!
Think fast, solve clues, and save the clinic! 👁️🕵️‍♂️

At EAOO 2026, participants will have the chance to experience a unique interactive Optical Escape Room challenge created by Martin O'Brien (Ireland) and sponsored by HOYA Vision Care.

In this immersive team-based experience, the clinic’s practice management system has crashed — locking access to examination and dispensing services. Fortunately, the practice manager has hidden a secret restart code somewhere around the office.

🧩 Your mission:
Work together to uncover hidden clues, solve optical and optometry-based puzzles, crack secret codes, and find all digits needed to restart the system before time runs out.

⏳ Time will be your greatest challenge.
👥 Teamwork, observation, and quick thinking are essential.
🔬 Challenges are based on real optics and optometry knowledge.
🏆 Points will be awarded for successful completion of challenges, and the winning team will receive a special prize at the conference closing ceremony sponsored by HOYA Vision Care.

This is not your ordinary escape room — it’s designed especially for the sharpest minds in optometry and optics.

📍 More information and on-site registration will be available at the conference venue in Riga.

EAOO 2026 is getting closer… and this is going to be epic.
