We are
proud to announce the results of UniForYourEyes, VANNI’s project in
collaboration with University of Milan Bicocca.
The
project was established to build and strengthen the relationships between
university and enterprise in order to develop cooperation models to bring about
positive change to our communities and the people that live in them.
A
partnership between the University’s Center for Research in Optics and
Optometry (COMiB), VANNI and a number of other companies, the project has
already succeeded in setting up a permanent service of free optometric exams —
carried out according to the World Council of Optometry’s highest standard —
and complimentary eyeglasses for vulnerable residents of Milan’s area.
We are
happy and proud to have contributed to such an invaluable effort by having
provided over 300 hundreds of frames, with the hope of being able to expand the
project to embrace more and more neighbourhoods, starting with our home city of
Turin.
We
strongly believe in the power that the joint efforts of universities, private
sector and local organizations have to generate positive impact for the public,
and grateful for the chance this project has given us to open a dialogue with
the next generation of optometrists.
To know
that we can help make the members of our community both see and feel good by
wearing quality glasses makes our desire to build beautiful frames ever
stronger”, as stated by Alessandra Girardi, Vice President of VANNI srl SB.
The partners that made until now this project possible are: Mylan by Viatris, Lions, BBGR Galileo, Municipio 9 Municipality of Milan, Niguarda Hospital.
