Opticare Vision Helps an Albinism Project in Africa

IMG 20191028 WA0010

Opticare Vision is very proud to support a program to provide sunglasses to an Albinism project in Lome, Togo - located in Africa. We recently shipped 100 pairs of sunglasses, to help members of their community to properly protect their eyes.

Those with albinism tend to be very sensitive to light because the iris doesn't have enough color to shield the retina properly. Wearing sunglasses or tinted contact lenses can help make them more comfortable out in the sun and to spend more time outside.

The above photo shows leaders of the community opening our package.
