One Italian on five never made a sight checking, more of 60% does not make it since more than 3 years, a person on four has a visual defect that is not corrected.
In Italy, nearsighted have doubled with respect to 40 years ago. There were 13%, now there are 25%, that is 15 millions of people. But, 42% of visual defects can be solved through use of determined means of visual compensation, according to World Health Trade Organization.
This is how safety of sight and checking of validity of means of visual compensation that are used, becomes of fundamental importance.
In fact, if in Italy percentage of those who are forced to use eyeglasses, in forty years, has gone up from 13 to 25%, it is true that during last years, due also to crisis, eyeglasses or lenses that aren’t adequate are also used, or maybe solutions that are” made by yourself”, as emergency eyeglasses, that becomes of daily use in front of computer or tv.
All these incorrect behaviors, do not bring any benefit to vision, and in addition, compromise visual health.
