Voluntary Action of Opticians – Optometrists in Chalki
“People do not know much about Optometry. It is an independent healthcare profession that evaluates the function of vision and corrects it when necessary. 2.2 billion people worldwide use corrective lenses…”
Thomangelos Michalakis, President of the Central Administrative Board of the Panhellenic Association of Opticians–Optometrists (Public Law Legal Entity), spoke to RV and the program “Real Blonde” hosted by Natasa Ragiou, on the occasion of an important initiative for the residents of Chalki this Sunday.
