«As the Algarve region is one of the most affected by the pandemic situation we are experiencing, where the municipality of Lagoa is no exception», the Together for Vision program is «fundamental in supporting families, at a time when we are trying to return to normality and recover our economy”, says the municipality of Lagoa.
The “Together For Vision” project runs until November 30 and aims to “ensure children and young people access to good visual health, on which their academic success and quality of life depend”.
«I would like to congratulate the entities involved in this project, in particular Essilor and Luxottica, for their willingness to help others, namely the families of Lagos.

Those interested in joining the program should contact one of the ophthalmologists who have joined the initiative, whose list is available on the website, to assess any visual impairment, and, if this is identified and there is a prescription, they only have to go to one of the partner opticians, where, with documents proving unemployment and respective identification documents, they can order the glasses.
