Polish opticians and optometrists act to help Unkranian refugees

Polish opticians and optometrists have launched coordinated help for people from Ukraine who have arrived in or will come soon to Poland. Practitioners will offer eye care help without cost for people who forgot, lost, or simply need glasses, contact lenses, or eye care. They have created a map with members’ practices that offer eye care help for people from Ukraine. This initiative has only just started and they  expect that as more people will come to Poland more help will be needed.

There are graphics promoting the scheme in Polish and Ukrainian, which say:

“Lost your glasses, contact lenses, access to your eye exam results? Make an appointment for eye examination and consultation with one of the optometrists ready to provide free help to refugees from Ukraine.
