Screening Initiatives

Screening Initiatives and Programs

At Optocentro, social responsibility and sustainability are part of our identity and shape the way we operate every day.Through our programs and partnerships, we transform the optical industry into a force for positive change.

Community Support and Visual Inclusion

Access to eye care should be a right for everyone. Through ourCommunity Social Responsibility Program, we make monthly donations of eyeglasses and contact lenses to a network of partner organizations that support people facing vulnerability, exclusion, or social fragility.

We believe that good vision should not depend on socioeconomic status or nationality. That is why we provide free eyeglasses and ongoing support each month to the following institutions, with whom we are proud to collaborate in Lisbon and Porto:

  • ABRAÇO Association
  • CPR (Portuguese Center for Refugees)
  • Ser Mais Valia Association
  • Friendly Tower
  • I SPEAK
  • St. Francis of Assisi House
  • CADIN
  • Cada Nova Association
  • Mão Amiga Association

In addition to this ongoing support for community organizations, we conduct free vision screenings at local schools and institutions, in partnership withEssilorLuxotticaandAASO. During these community outreach efforts, we do more than just assess vision: we alsoensure thateveryone who needs correctiveeyewear receives them, providing acomprehensivesolution and making a real difference in each person’s life.
