Dear Optics Professionals, 

Our activity has a direct impact on the health and well-being of the population, but it continues to operate in a scenario without clear regulations, without consistent rules and without the appreciation it deserves. 

This is the time to join forces, discuss strategic alignment and work together to ensure the activity is regulated and respected. 

The absence of a regulatory framework opens the door to inequalities, unfair practices and the devaluation of our role as eye care professionals. 

Only with cohesion and a strong, united voice will we be able to make the competent authorities aware of the urgent need to create clear, fair and beneficial rules for everyone: professionals, retail companies, manufacturers, distributors and, above all, consumers.
