Visión y Vida seeks optician data for second visual poverty study ahead of October 7 presentation

Visión y Vida is collecting cases from opticians to complete the second part of its "Visual Poverty in the Elderly" study. Opticians must register at least five cases via a brief survey during eye exams for patients over 75 to be listed as collaborators. The registration deadline was September 11, with results scheduled for presentation on October 7, coinciding with World Sight Day. A previous report indicated that more than two million elderly people in Spain may have compromised visual health due to economic reasons, noting that optical aid costs can reach 50% of monthly pensions.
