Krys Group Foundation launches 9th Vision Days campaign for free eye exams in France

The Krys Group Foundation has launched the ninth edition of its "Vision Days" national campaign, timed with World Sight Day. The initiative provides free eye examinations and adapted glasses to individuals excluded from traditional healthcare pathways. Students from 25 optical schools in France conduct the assessments under the supervision of qualified teachers. Beneficiary identification relies on partnerships with organizations including Ordre de Malte France, the French Red Cross, Secours populaire français, and Les Restos du Cœur. Anne Cristini-Désir, president of the foundation, highlighted that the previous session distributed 201 optical devices. Since 2002, the foundation has pursued similar initiatives, such as the Bus de la Vue et de l'Audition, to address inequalities in access to health services.
