The Importance of Protecting Eyesight, the Primary Source of Information

As part of the initiatives focusing increased attention on issues related to the health, wellness and quality of life of students, faculty and staff, Bocconi University has launched a campaign for the prevention of eye disease. The event has been organized in collaboration with Vision+ Onlus and is aware that over 80% of cases of blindness and severe visual impairment can be prevented with an early diagnosis.

Students, faculty and staff can take part in a free eye screening with orthoptists from Vision+ to identify risk factors associated with the most widespread eye diseases. Screenings will be held in room 14 of the Piazza Sraffa 13 building, Mondays through Fridays (10am-2pm) between 3 November and 5 December.
The screenings, which will last about 15 minutes, do not require an appointment and participants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. At the end of the check-up, a screening document will be issued.
