The results of the Sight Tour 2015

The Sight Tour, an awareness-raising initiative promoted in Italy with the aid of Assogruppi Ottica, Federottica and Vision+Onlus and supported by Mido, took place in October. It stretched over 19 days with eight stops covering Puglia, Basilicata, Campania and Sicily and 2,058 people tested. Data collected on the local market are cause of concern: more than 60% of the population is not regularly tested or present symptoms that could suggest problems requiring urgent clinical analysis. The Sight Tour confirmed these data: indeed, more than 100 of the total examined people presented potential signs of eye-related pathologies requiring urgent specialist attention.
