The Sight Tour

Commissione Difesa Vista (Italian committee for the protection of eyesight) is setting off on a new “Sight Tour”, the awareness-raising initiative promoted in Italy in collaboration with Assogruppi Ottica, Federottica and Vision+Onlus and with the support of Mido. Using the same slogan, “Vediamoci in Giro” (See You Around), a specially-equipped truck will stop in 9 cities next month: October 2 and 3 in Bari, 4 and 5 in Lecce, 6 and 7 in Taranto, 8 in Matera, where there will be a meeting dedicated to prevention on the occasion of World Sight Day, 9 and 10 in Potenza, 11, 12, 13 and 14 in Naples, 15 and 16 in Salerno, 18 and 19 in Catania and 20 and 21 in Caltanissetta. On the “TIR della Vista” (Eyesight Truck) professional ophthalmologists and opticians will be available to perform free eyesight screenings. At the end of the exam, patients will be given the results which will be useful for a more thorough examination subsequently.
