What are your options when a patient has uncommon vision problems?
In France, 60,000 people are affected with high vision loss, such as severe myopia, strabismus, and serious cases of astigmatism or presbyopia.
As an optician, you are likely confronted several times a year with unusual cases, and you may come to an unfortunate conclusion: standard lens manufacturers cannot provide the highly specialized lenses your clients need. A further challenge is that European laboratories that design specialty lenses work in only one or two technologies.
So, what are your options when it comes to choosing the right technology?

Testimonials: yes, extremely low vision can be corrected
“The more awareness given to low vision, the more visually-impaired people will feel understood and the less prejudice there will be (…). The people we meet suffer from impaired vision in daily life.”

“In France, visual impairments affect around 1.7 million people, to various extents. Among them, 70,000 are children (…). That is equivalent to the population of a city like Pau, Lorient, or La Rochelle, and represents a lot of people.”
